Understanding Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
PTSD treatment in an inpatient setting offers round-the-clock support, structure, and an environment free from the triggers that can exacerbate trauma-related symptoms. PTSD or Post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental health condition that can grip individuals long after traumatic events have passed. At Prisma Recovery Center, our approach to residential PTSD treatment centers on addressing the trauma in a safe and constructive environment, allowing the individual suffering to learn how to cope with stressors and triggers in a way that allows them to utilize healthy coping techniques and begin healing from the trauma.
The Need for Inpatient PTSD Treatment
PTSD is not a one-size-fits-all condition; two people who experienced the same traumatic event can have different manifestations of symptoms. Common symptoms of PTSD include
- Flashbacks
- Nightmares
- Severe anxiety
- Uncontrollable thoughts about the event.
For some, these symptoms can be managed with the help of a strong support system and regular therapy, while for others, they become overwhelming obstacles to daily life. What remains consistent is the necessity for a safe space and professional guidance to work through the complexities of PTSD.
Residential PTSD Treatment
Our inpatient treatment for PTSD is an intensive, all-encompassing, holistic approach to mental health treatment. We create a treatment plan that is as unique as each patient is to meet the patient’s needs while addressing the underlying traumas and equipping patients with coping mechanisms to manage their symptoms. Our serene and safe environment allows for deep immersion in the recovery process, often the catalyst for meaningful change. The structured nature of inpatient treatment ensures that each day is filled with therapeutic activities designed to bring understanding and relief to the patient.
Immersive Therapy
Our residential program incorporates multiple forms of therapy, including individual counseling, group sessions, and specialized trauma-centered approaches. Each of these modalities offers a distinct approach to processing trauma and healing.
Individual Counseling
One-on-one sessions with a primary therapist provide the opportunity to explore the patient’s unique trauma in-depth. The focus is on creating a safe and trusting environment where individuals can open up without fear of judgment. Creating a trusting relationship between the patient and our staff allows for effective healing.
Group Therapy
In group settings, patients share their experiences, which can foster a sense of community and reduce isolation. Group therapy also provides critical interpersonal skills practice and the chance to learn and support others facing similar challenges and learn how to interact with others in a safe environment.
Holistic Approach
Residential treatment encompasses more than just therapy sessions. It takes a holistic approach, considering the patient’s physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This includes exercise, nutrition, and complementary therapies like yoga and meditation, which have been shown to reduce symptoms of PTSD and improve overall mental health.
Nutrition
Eating a balanced diet is vital for managing stress. Our on-site chefs supply patients with three nutrient-dense meals a day that are enjoyed in our community dining area. A healthy diet is a largely overlooked part of mental health, and it has numerous benefits.
Complimentary Therapies
Yoga, meditation, and other relaxation techniques are integrated into the treatment plan to help patients develop stress-management skills. These practices provide a space for individuals to quiet their minds and find moments of peace, which is crucial for those managing PTSD symptoms.
