At our mental health rehab, we understand the significance of addressing the challenges that come with PTSD.

Recognizing Signs and Symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after an individual experiences traumatic events or highly stressful life experiences. These events are situations in which a person’s life or physical well-being is threatened, or they witness such threats to others. PTSD can stem from events such as military combat experiences, natural disasters, physical or sexual assault, domestic violence, accidents, death, injury, or any other life-threatening or fear-inducing events.
Not everyone who experiences trauma will develop PTSD, and the condition can develop at varying levels of intensity. It can also occur alongside other mental health conditions, which may complicate symptoms.
For those who do develop PTSD, this mental illness can make it extremely difficult to recover from traumatic events and trigger memories of these events over long periods. PTSD can cause a range of distressing symptoms, some of the most common being:
Intrusive Thoughts and Flashbacks
People with PTSD often have intrusive thoughts or memories related to the traumatic event they experienced. These can manifest as flashbacks, nightmares, or distressing thoughts that are difficult to control. Flashbacks can severely disrupt a person’s ability to function, and left untreated can lead to co-occurring disorders including anxiety disorders.
Avoidance and Isolation
Individuals with PTSD may feel the need to avoid anything that triggers memories of the traumatic event. This can manifest as avoiding places, people, activities, or conversation topics. Avoidant behavior can make it challenging to maintain a normal lifestyle or healthy routine. Over time, PTSD can lead to isolation from loved ones and activities, which can worsen the individual’s mental health.
Low Mood
PTSD can cause a person’s mood and thought patterns to be quite distressing. Some emotions that are common with PTSD include fear, anger, guilt, or shame. It can also affect how a person thinks and perceives the world around them, leading to intense feelings of detachment, poor self-image, and a negative perception of others.
The severity and duration of these symptoms can vary from person to person. While it’s natural for people to experience stress reactions after a traumatic event, for some, these reactions persist and become chronic, leading to the diagnosis of PTSD.

Trauma and PTSD Co-Occurring Disorders
It’s common for individuals with PTSD to have co-occurring disorders. Some conditions that may occur alongside PTSD include anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and other mood disorders. The presence of a dual diagnosis requires specialized treatment that addresses both conditions simultaneously. Since co-occurring conditions often feed into one another, treating both effectively is crucial to long-term recovery.
Our medical and mental health professionals are highly trained in treating all mental health disorders and will ensure treatment plans align with the needs of both conditions.
Is a PTSD Treatment Program Right For You?
If you or a loved one are experiencing PTSD symptoms, getting professional treatment for trauma and PTSD is crucial for long-term recovery. Trauma is extremely complex, and no individual should have to go through it alone. When someone experiences a traumatic event such as sexual abuse, military combat, or other distressing experiences, such an event can alter the individual’s cognitive function and ability to maintain a normal healthy lifestyle.
Without proper treatment, these symptoms can worsen and further harm the individual’s well-being. PTSD poses many risk factors for the development of other conditions, and it could lead to anxiety, depression, and even violence.
Our mental health rehab is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in treating PTSD. Treatment can instill a new sense of well-being and hope, and ensure individuals who have past trauma can break free from these events and memories and live a fulfilling life. It can also provide a strong foundation for future life challenges and help individuals have confidence and resilience.
Our comprehensive approach to treatment plans will provide services that cater to each client’s unique experiences, ensuring they are fully seen, heard, and understood during their program services.
How Long is Trauma Treatment?
The length of PTSD treatment will highly depend on the individual and their symptoms of PTSD. Most programs last between 2 and 4 weeks but can be extended if progress is not optimal.
It’s common for individuals to participate in a residential program for their mental health issues before moving on to an outpatient program. Many people also participate in multiple outpatient programs to maintain support while integrating back into a normal lifestyle.
Treating post-traumatic stress is highly individual, and the length of PTSD treatment will be decided between clients and their care team based on their needs.
