Anxiety Disorder Treatment

A common complication of anxiety disorder treatment is when the individual also suffers from substance abuse. In this case, the individual is said to have a dual diagnosis wherein the substance abuse and anxiety disorder will be treated simultaneously. Any quality treatment center such as Lakeview Health Systems, provides an initial clinical assessment followed by a comprehensive physical examination to identify any pre-existing medical or psychiatric problems.

Anxiety Treatment Program Options

Anxiety is one of the most common side effects of drug or alcohol abuse or addiction. As such, it is important that a quality addiction treatment program offer anxiety disorder treatment as part of their curriculum of care. Common therapy options for this mental disorder include:

• Individual cognitive-behavioral therapy
• Support therapy / family therapy
• Anti-anxiety medication
• Exercise and nutritional treatment programs
