Generalized Anxiety
When treating Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Solara Health utilizes several therapeutic modalities simultaneously, creating a treatment program that is both individualized and comprehensive. By using individual psychotherapy, group therapy, and holistic therapies, our clinicians can help clients on a variety of levels, including helping clients explore the source of their anxiety and its symptoms (both emotional and physical), learn how to disrupt negative thought patterns, practice techniques to re-direct negative thoughts into positive ones, and take control of triggers and other stressors. The results of these practices are increased confidence and a greater feeling of control, security, and peace in day-to-day life.
Our immersive [timeframe] program means that clients can receive more focused, specialized treatment without the distractions of everyday life to hinder progress. As a result of working with our compassionate clinicians, clients at Solara find that they see rapid personal improvement in a short space of time, and that they leave our program better equipped to face their anxieties, find their inner sense of calm, and take control of their own lives.
Symptoms and Treatment
It is estimated that 3.1% of the population is affected by GAD, making it one of the most prevalent mental health disorders in the world. Although GAD is characterized by a general sense of stress and worry, specific symptoms vary, including (but not limited to) the following:
- Chronic and/or disproportionate worry
- Continual sense of apprehension
- Inability to relax
- Difficulty or inability to make decisions
- Disruptive, negative thoughts that create anxiety
- Avoiding situations that cause anxiety
- Physical symptoms, such as fatigue, sweating, shakiness, muscle aches, nausea, and headaches
In GAD, these symptoms are not necessarily tied to a particular event or situation; rather, they are open, unrestricted, broad anxieties that seem relentless. As a result, clients with GAD can feel inhibited in their ability to fully go about their day-to-day lives. If left unchecked, GAD can result in inhibited professional and social growth, damaging physical effects, loneliness, negative self-image, emotional distress, and a sense of losing control of one’s own life.
Solara Health seeks to free you from both the symptoms of GAD and its more severe consequences. In our comfortable, peaceful setting, clients can work with our expert, compassionate clinicians to develop methods for addressing their specific GAD—its sources, its symptoms, and its consequences. We also communicate with your outpatient care providers to generate an individualized, complete aftercare plan so you can continue to make great strides as you go about your day-to-day life—one that now feels secure and calm, and that you are ready to face head-on.
While our clients make considerable and rapid improvements, Generalized Anxiety Disorder is often a long-term condition. Understanding this through years of experience, Solara Health provides the entire spectrum of care from in-residence to outpatient to transitional living to continuing, customized case management of long-term aftercare planning to ensure maximum, long-term success. Solara Health is committed and dedicated to freeing our clients from the clutches of Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and each of our programs is created to ensure this.
