Anxiety

Because anxiety disorders impact everyone differently, there are a wide variety of effects people may experience. If you don’t seek professional support, the effects of anxiety can be debilitating.  

Common anxiety disorder effects include:  

• Trouble keeping up at work or in school  

• Social isolation  

• Headaches and chronic pain  

• Insomnia  

• Onset or worsening of other mental health concerns  

• Substance use or abuse  

• Suicidal ideation  

• Difficulty forming or maintaining relationships  

• Frequent doctor visits and significant medical bills 

It is important to know that anxiety is treatable. By receiving appropriate care at an anxiety treatment center, you can decrease your risk for experiencing long-term effects.  

When you seek professional treatment for an anxiety disorder, you can learn how to manage your symptoms. Working with experts can help you develop coping skills that will allow you to navigate the emotions and behaviors that have kept you from being your best self.  

The therapies and interventions you participate in during the anxiety disorder treatment process can help lessen the severity of your anxiety symptoms. Our goal is to help you leave anxiety treatment feeling like you have an increased sense of control.  

Feelings of isolation and hopelessness are common for those who suffer from anxiety. By receiving treatment, you can connect with others who are facing similar struggles and discover a network of support that can be critical to the healing process.  

Additional benefits of receiving anxiety treatment can include: 

• Reduced symptom severity 

• Improved sleep 

• Stronger relationships 

• Greater ability to perform at work or in school 

• Healthier coping strategies 

• Reduced physical health risks 

• Restored sense of control 

• Improved overall quality of life 

At our inpatient anxiety treatment center, we provide a structured, supportive environment where patients receive continuous care and clinical oversight 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Every person who is admitted to our Apopka hospital is assigned a dedicated multidisciplinary team that develops a personalized plan of care based on their specific symptoms, clinical history and treatment needs. While no two plans look exactly alike, anxiety treatment at our hospital may include: 

• Medication management services: When medication is part of a patient’s anxiety treatment plan, a psychiatrist oversees daily medication management services, while registered nurses and licensed practical nurses assist with administering the medication and monitoring the patient’s response to ensure that the medication is both safe and effective. 

• Individual therapy: Each patient at our Apopka anxiety treatment center meets with a therapist for an individual therapy session during their evaluation. Additional one-on-one sessions are available throughout their stay on an as-needed or as-requested basis, providing dedicated time to work through personal challenges in a private, focused setting. 

• Family therapy: A patient’s loved ones can play a powerful role in their healing process. When clinically appropriate, family therapy sessions are offered to help family members better understand anxiety, improve communication with their loved one and build the kind of supportive home environment that reinforces the progress that is made during the inpatient stay. 

• Group therapy: Group therapy is the main therapy method we use at our anxiety treatment center, with sessions taking place multiple times each day. These sessions are led by qualified, compassionate staff and may cover a range of topics relevant to anxiety, including coping skills, stress management, self-esteem, boundary-setting and trauma processing. Group formats include process groups, psychoeducation groups, recreation groups and self-care groups, all of which are designed to help patients build practical skills while connecting with others who have an understanding of what they are going through.
