For individuals experiencing severe PTSD symptoms or those at risk of self-harm, inpatient treatment offers a safe, structured environment for intensive healing.

Key elements of inpatient care include:

• 24/7 supervision and support from trained professionals.
• Crisis stabilization.
• Daily individual therapy, group sessions, and skills-building workshops.
• Removal from the external triggers and stressors of daily life.

Inpatient care provides clients with the time and space needed to focus intensely on recovery in a fully supportive setting.

The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) at Wellness Hills is ideal for individuals whose symptoms require a high level of care but who do not need 24/7 supervision. Clients participate in structured treatment during the day and return home in the evenings.

PHP programming includes:

• Regular individual and group therapy.
• Trauma-focused skill-building sessions.
• Education on managing symptoms and rebuilding resilience.

This option allows individuals to engage in intensive therapy while maintaining everyday responsibilities.

For those needing flexibility, the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) combines structured care with the ability to continue everyday activities. Clients typically attend therapy sessions several times a week.

IOP offers a supportive environment for individuals who require structure to maintain progress but do not need intensive daily treatment.

For individuals with mild PTSD symptoms or those who have completed higher levels of care, outpatient therapy provides ongoing support to sustain healing. Clients meet with a therapist on a weekly or biweekly basis to discuss challenges, refine coping strategies, and address triggers as they arise.

For many individuals, medication can be a valuable tool in managing anxiety. At Wellness Hills Recovery Center, our licensed psychiatrists work closely with clients to develop personalized medication plans that complement therapy. Commonly prescribed medications for anxiety include:

• Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs): Often used for long-term relief of anxiety symptoms.
• Beta-Blockers: Address physical symptoms such as rapid heartbeat.
• Benzodiazepines: Offer quick symptom relief for acute episodes.

Our psychiatrists provide careful monitoring and adjustments to ensure medication is effective and side effects are minimized.

Therapy is the cornerstone of trauma treatment. At Wellness Hills, we use a variety of evidence-based treatments, including:

• Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT): Helps clients identify and change negative thought patterns tied to the trauma.
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): A specialized technique that helps reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their intensity.
• Prolonged Exposure Therapy: Gradual confrontation of trauma-related memories and emotions in a safe, controlled setting.
• Narrative Therapy: Encourages clients to tell their trauma story and reauthor the narrative in a way that encourages emotional healing.
• Group Therapy: Creates a shared space for individuals with similar experiences to connect, share, and support one another.

These therapies provide a framework for processing trauma, reducing symptoms, and rebuilding resilience.
