What Is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)?

PTSD is a mental health condition that can develop in individuals who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event.

Such events can include life-threatening situations, physical or sexual assault, serious accidents, natural disasters or combat exposure. Individuals with PTSD may experience persistent and distressing symptoms, including intrusive memories, flashbacks, nightmares, heightened arousal and emotional numbing. PTSD can significantly impact a person's daily life, relationships and overall well-being. PTSD treatment often involves a combination of psychotherapy, medication and support to help individuals cope with and overcome the effects of trauma.

The inpatient program at The Healing Institute begins with a collaborative assessment conducted by our team.

Together, we will consider your unique history and the complexities of your experience with trauma. This will build the foundation of a personalized treatment plan to support your recovery.
