Finding the Right Level of Care
Seeking treatment for PTSD is a brave, important first step in processing your trauma and managing your symptoms. When you start your search, you’ll find that there are several different types of treatment, levels of care, and providers who can provide support. The most important thing to look for is the right level of care.
Different levels of care will require different commitments on your part as far as the amount of time, energy, and resources you’ll need to put in. Outpatient treatment—including partial hospitalization (PHPs), intensive outpatient (IOPs), and outpatient programs (OPs)—are more flexible but won’t have the same level of treatment intensity. Residential or inpatient programs will provide 24/7 support from trained professionals but will require you to live at a treatment center.
What to Look For in Residential PTSD Treatment
Your best option might be residential treatment if your PTSD symptoms are intense and difficult to manage, if you have tried other types of treatment without success, or if you could benefit from being in a different environment for a while. Not all residential treatment programs are the same, so be sure to weigh your options carefully.
Psychiatric Assessment
Even if you’ve been diagnosed with PTSD before, enrolling in a program that will provide you with a psychiatric assessment prior to treatment is a good idea. The treatment team will have a better understanding of your current symptoms, medical history, and any co-occurring conditions that will affect the type of treatment you need.

+18442884672 Personalized Therapy Plans
Your experience with PTSD—including the events you experienced, your daily symptoms, and how you view the future—is unique. Your PTSD treatment should be, too. What works for someone else might not be effective for you. A personalized therapy plan will take your individual needs into account and be tailored to help you manage your symptoms. It might include:
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) – CBT—especially trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT)—helps you identify and challenge negative thoughts and beliefs related to your trauma, as well as develop healthy coping mechanisms.
- Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) – EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to help you process traumatic memories and reduce their impact on your life.
- Medication management – Medication can help you manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances that often accompany PTSD.
Dual Diagnosis Options
If you’ve turned to drugs or alcohol to try and cope with your PTSD, you’re not alone. Dual diagnosis treatment addresses both addiction and mental health conditions at the same time. By learning more about your substance use, mental health, and the feelings and triggers surrounding both, you’ll be better equipped to maintain sobriety and manage your symptoms.
Aftercare and Alumni Support
PTSD is a chronic condition, and it’s important to have resources in place to support your journey after you complete treatment. Look for programs that offer aftercare services like therapy or support groups, as well as alumni networks to stay connected with others who have similar experiences.
Comfortable Accommodations
Your time in treatment shouldn’t be uncomfortable or stressful. Receiving treatment in a calming, comfortable environment can help you better focus on your recovery. Look for programs that offer amenities like private rooms, nutritious meals, and opportunities for relaxation and self-care.
