Understanding Panic Disorder

Panic disorder is a type of anxiety disorder characterized by repeated and unexpected panic attacks—intense episodes of fear or discomfort that often mimic the symptoms of a heart attack or other medical emergencies. These attacks can make individuals avoid places or situations they fear might trigger another attack, leading to isolation and increased anxiety.

Common symptoms of a panic attack include:

Pounding or rapid heartbeat
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Sudden sweating or chills
Chest pain or tightness
Dizziness, feelings of faintness, or nausea
A sense of losing control or fear of dying

For many, these symptoms emerge without warning or a clear cause, leaving individuals feeling helpless or overly cautious about their environment. Without effective treatment, panic disorder can disrupt relationships, careers, and daily responsibilities, often leading to avoidance behaviors or additional mental health struggles.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Panic Disorder Treatment

At Agua Dulce Treatment Center, we offer an integrative approach to help individuals understand, manage, and overcome panic disorder. Our comprehensive treatment includes:

Take The First Step

Dual Diagnosis

Many individuals with panic disorder also struggle with co-occurring mental health disorders, such as depression or generalized anxiety disorder. Our dual diagnosis program treats both panic disorder and any underlying mental health issues simultaneously, ensuring a more effective and lasting recovery.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a highly effective psychotherapy that helps individuals identify and challenge irrational thoughts and beliefs contributing to panic attacks. By addressing these cognitive patterns, CBT aims to reduce the frequency and intensity of attacks.

Exposure Therapy

This therapeutic approach involves gradual and controlled exposure to feared situations or sensations, allowing individuals to build tolerance and reduce avoidance behaviors associated with panic attacks.

Holistic Therapies

Recognizing the importance of healing the whole person, we offer therapies like yoga, mindfulness, art therapy, and wellness activities to promote emotional and physical well-being.

Supportive Environment

Clients reside in a non-institutional, home-like setting with private individual bedrooms, providing a safe and secure healing environment conducive to recovery.

Relapse Prevention and Long-Term Strategies

Recovery from panic disorder goes beyond managing symptoms—it's about building emotional stability and confidence for the future. We focus on relapse prevention by identifying triggers, developing effective coping mechanisms, and offering continued support through aftercare services to ensure long-term success and well-being.
