Have you or a loved one lived through a traumatic situation recently or in the past? If so, it’s important to get some professional help to process that trauma in a healthy way. Living through trauma can be devastating. And without treatment, there’s a risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with a mental health problem that can have long-lasting effects. At our mental health treatment center, you can learn more about trauma and PTSD and learn how to get help at a PTSD treatment center.
Trauma is a psychological reaction people have in certain intensely stressful situations.
Some examples of traumatic situations include:
It starts with acute stress disorder. When someone experiences trauma, they have an immediate reaction called acute stress disorder. It lasts between three days and three weeks after the event.
A person’s reaction to trauma is unique. Everyone deals differently with what happened.
Some possible reactions to trauma include:
If a person gets professional treatment after living through trauma, they are less likely to have persistent symptoms. But without treatment, the trauma can have long-term effects. One possible consequence is PTSD.
Not everyone who lives through trauma develops PTSD. However, it is common in people who don’t get professional help after experiencing trauma. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 7% to 8% of people develop PTSD in their lives.
There are four different categories of symptoms of PTSD. To be diagnosed with PTSD, a person must have symptoms from each of the categories.
For example, the categories include:
People can develop complex PTSD if they live through ongoing trauma. For instance, if someone is neglected or abused over time, then they might develop complex PTSD. Complex PTSD causes the above symptoms, plus some others.
For example, these can include:
If you’re living with PTSD, you may feel like you are drowning in intrusive thoughts and memories – and other symptoms you can’t control. Our mental health treatment resources can help you deal with the trauma, to leave it in the past and start to look forward to your future.
Getting treatment is also integral for your long-term physical and mental health. Your quality of life isn’t the only thing that’s at stake. People with PTSD have a higher risk of developing other mental health problems. For instance, some people may turn to alcohol or drugs as a way of trying to cope with the trauma. Others turn to self-harm or may develop an eating disorder.
PTSD treatment can help you start to deal with your trauma and learn healthy coping skills. With treatment, you can reduce your long-term risk of other mental health issues. And as you learn how to manage your PTSD, you benefit from a better quality of life, too.
Our PTSD treatment center in Lantana, Florida, typically includes an individual therapy program to explore and process trauma. For some people, treatment may also include medication. Many people benefit from antidepressant medication or mood stabilizers.
Treatment is sometimes a multistep process. For people with co-occurring substance addiction, their treatment might start with a medical detox at our drug detox center to help them withdraw safely. Then, they might go to a residential PTSD treatment center for intensive treatment. Residential treatment is helpful because it offers a safe place to explore trauma.
For some, drug withdrawal carries a risk of harm because when someone is physically dependent, their body adapts in certain ways. The sudden withdrawal leaves the brain and body without the substances on which it has come to rely leading to dangerous symptoms such as seizures. Medical supervision helps keep the person safe during detox.
In a residential PTSD treatment program, you live-in at a treatment center. You spend most of your time every day in a group therapy program or solo therapy or on activities that support your recovery. It’s a structured schedule that allows you to explore your trauma safely.
If residential PTSD treatment doesn’t work for you, then an outpatient option might. These involve spending a set number of hours at a treatment center each week. Some programs allow you to attend sessions at night, allowing you to continue with work or college while getting treatment.
In a PHP, you spend up to five days a week at a treatment center for therapy and support activities. These programs are like residential programs but without the live-in element.
In an intensive outpatient program (IOP), you spend around 10 hours a week at a treatment center. You attend therapy sessions and other activities that help support your mental health.
Up to 80% of people with PTSD have a co-occurring disorder. Some common co-occurring disorders are alcohol or drug addiction, depression, anxiety disorder or eating disorders. If you have PTSD and a co-occurring disorder, then treatment at our Lantana addiction treatment center should address both. Addressing both is important because having a co-occurring disorder makes it harder for you to process your trauma and move forward in recovery.
At Lucida, we provide every client with a personal treatment plan to address their specific needs. Treatment includes a combination of therapy and support activities, with medication when appropriate.
