Anxiety Treatment Overview

Anxiety treatment plans need to be customized to each client according to their disorder. The term “anxiety disorders” refers broadly to all anxiety-related illnesses. There are many kinds of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder and various phobias. Though each of these illnesses is different in its symptoms, all are alike in the apprehension and fear that they cause.

At Solara Mental Health, we know how disruptive anxiety disorders can be in our clients’ everyday lives.  They can keep them from doing as much as they want, attaining professional or social goals and coping with day-to-day life—anxiety disorders can even alter their entire worldview. These emotional symptoms are sometimes also coupled with physical ones, ranging from minor discomfort to debilitating panic attacks. As such, our psychiatric facility’s clinicians are prepared and ready to help clients with all symptoms, both emotional and physical.

Solara Mental Health also knows that anxiety disorders can be caused by a wide range of potential triggers, whether it’s something unknown or a specific event. This can be especially frustrating for clients who know that their anxieties, as well as their responses to those anxieties, may be illogical, but they still cannot overcome them. It is our goal to help clients of our pinpoint the cause of their anxieties and manage them accordingly so that they can find greater security and peace in their lives.

At Solara Mental Health, we tailor our anxiety treatment plans to the individual, helping each client work through his/her own specific anxieties and create a plan to manage those anxieties in their day-to-day lives. Our expert clinicians begin by respectfully and compassionately working with clients to discover or better understand the cause of their anxiety and how it manifests itself. Then, clinicians and clients collaborate to create methods for clients to respond to their anxieties and triggers, fostering greater feelings of protection, security and peace in the clients’ lives.

Our psychiatric center’s clinicians work is aided by the peaceful atmosphere our facilities provide. Solara’s mental health treatment center’s soothing environment will allow you to explore your anxieties, triggers and treatments in a setting that is quiet and calm.  We are an oasis from the hectic worries of day-to-day life.

Individual psychotherapy is Solara Mental Health Treatment Center’s first line of defense when it comes to anxiety treatment. Specifically, our clinicians use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is regarded as one of the most successful treatments for anxiety disorders. CBT is effective because it focuses on thought patterns.  Clients are taught to interrupt their own negative thought patterns and turn that energy to healthy, positive methods for coping with anxieties.

At Solara Mental Health, we also pair CBT with psychodynamic therapy. This type of therapy allows clients to more deeply examine their lives, helping them determine the roots and triggers of their anxieties, identify methods for managing both, and ultimately find a greater sense of peace in their lives.

Group therapy may sound daunting to many clients with anxiety, especially social anxiety.  To some, the whole concept of group therapy may even seem counter-productive to the mental health treatment process. However, at Solara’s Psychiatric facility we believe that our small group therapy sessions can actually be highly beneficial. Because we cap our group therapy program at [number] clients, those participating in group therapy can be assured a small, caring, judgment-free space where they can feel comfortable and safe sharing their anxieties with people who understand their daily struggles. For clients with social anxiety specifically, this can be especially beneficial, allowing clients to find ways to work through their own social anxiety in a supportive environment, free from the stresses of home or work life.

As needed, Solara Mental Health can provide patients with anti-anxiety medications for both chronic and acute symptoms. Medications will be coupled with other treatments, such as individual psychotherapy and group therapy, to provide a comprehensive care experience. The experienced clinicians at out Mental Health Treatment Facility will thoughtfully prescribe the right medication for each client, as well as help each client find the best medication regiment for their own unique needs.

At Solara Mental Health, we understand that treating anxiety disorders means understanding that there are uncomfortable, sometimes even painful physical symptoms that come with anxiety. Sweating, dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath, a racing heart and other physical effects are all common symptoms. To help clients manage their physical symptoms, our mental health treatment center takes a holistic approach to healing.  This includes physical treatments like acupuncture, massages and yoga classes as part of its regular treatment regimen. These physical, rather than emotional, therapies help clients relax and take control of their bodies, helping foster a sense of security and peace.

While our clients make considerable and rapid improvements, anxiety disorders are often long-term conditions. Understanding this through years of experience, Solara Mental Health provides the entire spectrum of care from inpatient to outpatient to transitional living to continuing, customized case management of long-term aftercare planning to ensure maximum, long-term success. Our Mental Health Treatment Center is committed to freeing our clients from the clutches of anxiety disorders and each of our programs is created to ensure this.
