PTSD Inpatient Treatment
For many military members, trauma has deeply destructive effects on their physical, mental and emotional health. As part of our rehabilitation program, we help you identify and process trauma so that you can move forward with long-term recovery.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health disorder that can result from experiencing or witnessing a traumatic, distressing event. And while PTSD doesn’t only affect military personnel, it is a common consequence of combat, war, violence and terrorism. It can also stem from other issues including:
- Frequent deployments or relocations
- Grief from a friend dying in combat
- Family or marital stress
PTSD can lead to severe symptoms such as nightmares, flashbacks and depression. You may be easily triggered or terrified by certain sounds or sights. You may sense danger in everyday situations or in other people, which can lead to self-isolation.
We offer comprehensive care for PTSD, as well as other conditions that can occur alongside PTSD, such as:
- Anxiety disorders
- Bipolar disorder
- Depression
- Drug or alcohol use disorder
- Mood disorders
