Upon your arrival at our facility, we will evaluate you to ensure we offer you the most effective methods of treatment – the distressing event you have experienced will be at the center of the assessment but we also need to learn more about your mental health prior to the event as well as about the symptoms you have barely registered. Here is what you can expect at Dallas Mental Health:
Instead of applying the same methods of treatment again and again regardless of who the patient is, what caused their condition, and what therapy goals they may have, we are committed to offering you customized mental health care that suits just you. We can also adjust the treatment plan at any point in the future if your condition demands it or suggest you to undergo residential treatment if traditional talking therapy is not enough.
The location of a mental health clinic plays a crucial role – if you do not have to travel for hours to get psychological assistance, the chances you can continue undergoing therapy for weeks and months are much higher. Besides, residential care at a facility nearby will allow your family to visit you during your stay. The map below shows where our centers are situated – make the right choice.
Acute Stress Disorder will occur three or four days after the traumatic event, and the symptoms may be of a psychological and physical nature – anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, derealization, and intrusive thoughts all indicate the presence of a serious issue you should discuss with a therapist.
If left untreated, Acute Stress Disorder may lead to mental and physical health complications – depression, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, and severe anxiety are just the most frequent issues individuals struggle with. Moreover, many people turn to alcohol or illicit drugs in their attempts to feel better and to temporarily forget what happened – instead, you should seek Acute Stress Disorder therapy as soon as possible.
Despite the fact that Acute Stress Disorder can be treated within a short period of time, medication can still be prescribed to a patient who cannot sleep well or cannot stop thinking about the distressing event that harmed them or others. With careful dosage calculation, our patients will not have to worry about the consequences of the medication treatment.
We accept most insurance plans – our goal is to accommodate the clients whose insurance providers are willing to cover mental health therapy. Still, in order to learn more about your treatment options, you should reach out to us right away and talk about other methods of payment just in case.
While residential treatment is one of the options we offer, outpatient care may be enough to deal with the consequences of a traumatic incident. However, the final decision is yours after you hear a professional opinion of a counselor whose aim is to find the best way to help you with the disorder. You may also transition from outpatient care to an residential program if your symptoms get worse at any time.
