Is Inpatient PTSD An Effective Treatment Option?
Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a very real issue that many people cope with. In fact, more than 3.5% of Americans in a number of age groups suffer from this often debilitating condition. Most notably, those who are affected by PTSD tend to be those who work in high-risk jobs like firefighting, military ground positions, police work and nursing. However, anyone who has suffered from a traumatic experience ranging from abuse to sexual assault can develop this condition. Fortunately, residential PTSD treatment can provide relief and a long-term solution.
What Does Inpatient Treatment Offer?
Inpatient PTSD treatment programs help individuals with intense after effects of trauma and offer residential care for patients. This option provides 24/7 support and programs to help you face challenges and achieve a state of recovery. Most patients stay for 30 to 90 days in our care. We address common triggers that include:
- Assault as a child or adult
- Terrorize attacks
- Military combat
- Life-threatening accidents, injuries or illnesses
