Living with anxiety can be exhausting. When worry takes over your mind, body, and relationships, it’s hard to feel in control.
At Beach House Center for Recovery, we help individuals and families break free from debilitating anxiety diagnoses through personalized, evidence-based care in a calm and supportive setting.
Anxiety disorders are mental health conditions characterized by excessive and often uncontrollable feelings of worry, fear, or unease.
It can manifest in various forms and includes a range of sometimes debilitating symptoms.
People with anxiety disorders may experience physical and psychological effects that significantly impact daily life and functioning.
Treatment can help manage anxiety disorder symptoms and triggers of several types of anxiety disorders. The most common include:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
GAD is characterized by excessive, chronic worry and anxiety about various aspects of daily life, such as health, work, and relationships. People with GAD often struggle to control their fears and may experience physical symptoms like restlessness, muscle tension, and fatigue.
Panic Disorder
Individuals with panic disorder experience sudden and intense panic attacks and episodes of overwhelming fear or dread. These attacks can occur suddenly, including symptoms like rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, and a sense of impending doom.
Social Anxiety Disorder (Social Phobia)
Social anxiety disorder involves an intense fear of social situations and scrutiny by others. Individuals with this disorder may avoid social interactions and experience severe anxiety when faced with them.
Specific Phobias
Specific phobias are intense and irrational fears of particular objects, situations, or activities. Phobias are classified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) as follows:
Other common phobias include:
To be categorized as a phobia, the symptoms must last more than six months and cause life-altering behaviors in response. It is important to note that another physical or mental health disorder cannot be the cause of the symptoms.
Individuals may experience more than one type of anxiety disorder simultaneously, and the severity of symptoms can vary.
Anxiety disorders are complex conditions with multiple contributing factors.
The exact cause of anxiety disorders is not known, but they are believed to result from a combination of risk factors, including:
It’s important to note that anxiety disorders are complex and often result from a combination of these factors. Different individuals may have other risk factors. Not everyone exposed to risk factors will develop an anxiety disorder.
Anxiety disorder symptoms can vary depending on the specific type of anxiety disorder a person is experiencing. However, common physical and psychological symptoms shared among various anxiety disorders may include:
Anxiety can quietly erode your physical and mental health, negatively affect relationships, impact school or work performance, and increase your risk for isolation and loneliness.
If you or a loved one is struggling with the negative effects of anxiety, it’s important to seek help from a mental health professional to regain your confidence and control.
An anxiety attack is a symptom of anxiety disorder. It is a sudden, short-lived, and intense episode of fear that can lead to severe cognitive, emotional, and physical symptoms.
When experiencing an anxiety attack, it’s important to slow your breathing, bring your attention to the present moment, and remind yourself that the attack will pass.
Beach House Center for Recovery is a leading anxiety disorder treatment center in South Florida. Our licensed clinicians offer a range of evidence-based anxiety therapy programs, including:
MAT is often associated with substance use disorder treatment. However, combining certain medications with evidence-based therapies for mental health can help individuals manage the biological and psychological aspects of anxiety and improve their overall well-being. Common medications include:
As part of our integrated treatment approach, Beach House Center for Recovery offers several holistic and complementary approaches, including:
People who routinely feel anxious might self-medicate with alcohol or other mood-altering substances. While this can temporarily relieve anxiety symptoms, it often leads to a problematic cycle.
Sometimes, the medications prescribed to treat anxiety can become a concern due to their potential for addiction or misuse.
Unfortunately, misusing substances can significantly aggravate existing anxiety disorders, leading to cycles of substance misuse that can be challenging to break free from.
Anxiety disorders and substance use disorders often go hand in hand, creating a cycle that’s difficult to break without the right support. Research shows that, in many cases, one condition can worsen the other (especially for those with histories of chronic stress and trauma).
At Beach House Center for Recovery, we specialize in dual diagnosis treatment, effectively targeting both conditions at the same time.
This is an effective, whole-person approach that gives individuals the best chance at long-term recovery and wellness.
From admission to aftercare and beyond, here’s how we support your recovery every step of the way.
Our admissions team begins with a thorough assessment to understand your symptoms, medical history, and personal goals. This allows us to create a tailored treatment plan from the first day.
Each day includes evidence-based therapy, group sessions, and holistic services (e.g., yoga and meditation) to support whole-person wellness.
Before discharge, we develop a personalized aftercare plan that includes referrals for outpatient therapy, support groups, and ongoing care.
Here’s what to expect financially, so that you can focus on healing, recovery, and wellness.
Most major insurance plans cover some form of mental health treatment. Our admissions team will work directly with your insurance to verify your benefits and explain your coverage in clear, easy-to-understand terms.
Costs depend on your specific plan, level of care, and length of inpatient treatment for anxiety disorders. We’ll walk you through all available options and help you understand copays, deductibles, coinsurance, and out-of-pocket expenses, so there aren’t any surprises.
We combine clinical expertise and compassionate care in a healing environment in South Florida. Our licensed clinicians and skilled medical professionals create custom, evidence-based treatment plans based on your overall health, unique needs, symptoms, substance use history, and medical history.
We treat anxiety and other mental health disorders alongside substance use disorders to ensure we address both conditions at once, increasing your recovery outcome and reducing your risk of relapse.
Schedule a confidential consultation and begin your journey to lasting calm.
The length of anxiety treatment is different for everyone and largely depends on the type and severity of anxiety. However, a typical course of behavioral therapy can last 12-20 sessions.
Medication, if prescribed as part of anxiety treatment, could be used for at least a year or two after symptoms improve.
Anxiety disorder is not considered a curable condition. However, it is highly treatable and manageable with personalized behavioral therapies.
The 3-3-3 rule for anxiety is a technique to help shift focus away from anxious thoughts and feelings and ground you in the present moment. This helps people regain a sense of calm. Here’s how it works:
