Types of Therapy

Types of Therapy We Use to Treat Anxiety Disorder

Through our experience at our treatment center in working with individuals with generalized anxiety disorder we have learned that the best way to treat this disorder is to use a combination of medication management, therapeutic methods, and experiential programs.

Medication may be used initially while you are learning to better cope with your anxiety symptoms. By getting your symptoms under control you can better engage in your therapy. Once new coping skills have been learned many individuals are able to reduce or even omit the use of medication. Sometimes long-term medication use is required. Medication management will be determined by your treatment team.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps you to identify negative ways of thinking that may be contributing to your anxiety. By altering destructive thought patterns to more positive ways of thinking you can begin to alter your behaviors for the better.

During rehab, reality-based therapy (RT) is used to focus on issues that you are currently struggling with. You will be taught problem-solving techniques that will be practiced through exercises such as role playing. These techniques will help you to work through your current struggles and overcome your anxiety.

Individual therapy offers the opportunity to work through concerns about your anxiety in a more intimate setting. By working closely with a therapist you will learn to cope with your daily anxiety and become aware of what may trigger the anxiety.

Group therapy is an essential part of the treatment process at our center because it allows you to connect with others who are having anxiety problems of their own. Together you can work on coping strategies and identify potential anxiety triggers. Working closely with others helps you re-learn how to interact with other individuals while gaining support at the same time. Blue Ridge offers process and psycho-educational groups centered on a variety of topics.

Family is an important part of your rehab. Family sessions will be used to help identify and work through any problematic family dynamics that may have added to your anxiety. If you are not on good terms with your family we will try to help reconnect you and mend the damaged relationships. We also hold a two-day intensive family workshop at our treatment center in Georgia where your family members will learn about your anxiety disorder and how they can contribute to your recovery process.

We also provide additional non-traditional methods to assist with your recovery. These include:

  • Recreational programming
  • Guided meditation
  • A.A. and N.A.
  • Art programming
  • Spiritual therapy
  • Nutritional counseling
  • Role playing

After Treatment

Continuing Care – What Comes Next?

Once you have completed residential treatment and are ready to leave, our healing center you will work with your treatment team to establish an aftercare plan.

Together you will decided which aftercare option is best for you and we will make sure that everything is in place before discharge. This will allow the transition into outpatient services to be a smooth as possible.

For some individuals the next step in their recovery process is a highly-structured outpatient program such as a Partial Hospital Program (PHP) or an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). These types of programs provide less structure than residential programs, but still offer a variety of therapeutic services to help you continue to recover from GAD.

If you are returning home, we will connect you with a local outpatient provider in Georgia or elsewhere, set up an appointment time, and give you the name of the contact person so that there are no lapses in your recovery. We will also connect you with community services and support groups so that you are able to receive continuous support.

Recovery at Blue Ridge is amazing because you're surrounded by likeminded people who are so passionate about recovery.
