How Do I Know I Need Anxiety Treatment
Determining whether you need anxiety treatment depends on the extent of your symptoms and the impacts they are having on your life. Common symptoms include:
- Excessive and persistent worry or fear
- Muscle aches, tension, and pain
- Frequent headaches
- Fatigue and a lack of energy
- Problems sleeping
- Difficulties focusing and concentrating
- Irritability
- Restlessness
- Gastrointestinal problems
- Shortness of breath
- Elevated blood pressure and heart rate
When symptoms affect one’s ability to function normally and reduce one’s quality of life, it is time to consider anxiety treatment in Atlanta.
Types of Anxiety Disorders
There are several different types of anxiety disorders, each with its own symptoms, as follows:
- GAD: Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is when you experience chronic anxiety, excessive worry, and frequent muscle aches, tension, and pain.
- Social Anxiety Disorder: Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is characterized by extreme worry and fear of being judged by others or being embarrassed in social situations.
- Panic Disorder: Panic disorder features a sudden period of intense fear, trembling, shaking, elevated heart rate, shortness of breath, shaking, and a general sense of doom.
- Specific phobias: Phobias are a type of anxiety where one experiences intense fear of a situation or object, such as a fear of heights, a fear of flying, or a fear of spiders.
Our Anxiety Treatment Programs in Atlanta
Peachtree Wellness Solutions offers several different programs for anxiety treatment in Atlanta. Each level of care is based on the severity of the anxiety disorder and the specific treatment needs of the individual.
- Residential: Our residential treatment is for individuals with severe anxiety disorders where they are unable to function normally. Inpatient treatment provides 24/7 monitoring and support with highly structured and intensive treatment.
- PHP: Our PHP (partial hospitalization program) is for individuals who do not need 24/7 monitoring but require intensive and structured treatment. Clients attend daily sessions while returning home in the evenings.
- IOP: Our IOP (intensive outpatient treatment) is a step-down level of care from our PHP for individuals who need continued support and intensive treatment for their anxiety disorder. Sessions are held multiple times weekly but for fewer hours each day than our PHP. IOPs offer more flexibility so individuals can work, attend school, and manage other responsibilities while still receiving the treatment they need.
- OP: Our OP (outpatient program) is the least intensive level of care. Sessions are scheduled at times that work best for individuals based on their responsibilities. Sessions are normally several times weekly for a few hours initially but can become weekly or less frequent as one progresses in their treatment.
Therapies Utilized in Anxiety Treatment
One of the many benefits of our anxiety treatment in Atlanta is the ability to customize and personalize your treatment and care plan with a variety of different therapies to suit your unique needs. Your individualized care plan could include any of the following:
- Biosound therapy: Biosound therapy uses vibrational sounds and patterns to help you learn to relax and achieve a restful state.
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT): Various FDA-approved medications may be prescribed to help alleviate anxiety symptoms.
- Neurofeedback therapy: This non-invasive therapy helps you gain control over your brainwaves and reduce anxiety symptoms by better understanding how brainwave patterns contribute to your anxiety symptoms.
- Red light therapy: Red light therapy is another non-invasive therapy that uses red light wavelengths targeted at specific brain regions responsible for mood regulation to help alleviate anxiety symptoms.
- Music therapy: Various forms of music are used to help individuals with anxiety improve their mood and reduce related symptoms.
- Genetic testing: Genetic testing can help determine which medications are most effective for treating anxiety.
- Pet therapy: Pet therapy can effectively treat anxiety because pets require unconditional love and support. This diversion can provide a calming effect and reduce anxiety levels.
- Holistic therapies: Other holistic therapies, such as art therapy and yoga, can help reduce stress and anxiety while promoting healing and improving mental well-being.
- Individual therapy: One-on-one therapy sessions with a licensed therapist can help people explore the underlying causes of their anxiety disorder while developing effective coping skills.
- Group therapy: Group therapy provides educational opportunities, gaining knowledge through shared experiences and developing a strong peer support network.
- Family therapy: Anxiety does not just affect the individual but their loved ones as well. Family therapy helps family members better understand anxiety, how they can support their loved ones, and addresses any other family-related issues or problems.
How Long Does Anxiety Treatment in Atlanta Last?
The duration of anxiety treatment in Atlanta depends on the severity of your anxiety, the progress you make, your specific needs, and the level of care required initially. Generally, most people require several weeks to several months in a residential program or PHP before transitioning to a lower level of care.
People in our IOP can require several months of treatment before transitioning to our OP. Once you reach our OP level of care, it should be viewed as ongoing maintenance and care to help you maintain your improved mental well-being. OP treatment can last several months or longer.
