Icarus Behavioral Health Provides Information on Complex Trauma and PTSD Inpatient Treatment

April 17, 2023 - /PressAdvantage/ - Icarus Behavioral Health, which is based in Albuquerque, NM, has released new content on effective programs for CPTSD treatment, the best trauma residential programs, and the connections between PTSD and substance abuse. Icarus is capable of providing help to patients suffering from complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) through residential treatment based on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) that provides the individual with a safe environment to explore what occurred and to find relief via a wide range of holistic therapies.

A key component of CTPSD inpatient treatment is medication-assisted therapy to minimize the symptoms. Thus, it is important for the treatment center to have mental health professionals who are experienced and knowledgeable about the use of FDA-approved medications such as sertraline and paroxetine HCl including drugs being used off-label. Other components of the CPTSD treatment program are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), DBT, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, exposure therapy, group therapy for peer support, and family therapy.

CBT can help with PTSD by helping in making changes to thoughts, feelings, and actions. This can also be very useful for patients who are both dealing with substance abuse in addition to trauma. Meanwhile, DBT is necessary for developing mindfulness and coping skills with the goal to learn how to cope with unpleasant emotions. EMDR therapy is designed to help the brain reprocess the traumatic memories, making them easier to handle and minimizing the long-term effects. Exposure therapy helps the patients examine their actions and relearn how to engage with their daily life.

Meanwhile, the second article explains what to look for in a trauma treatment center or the qualities of top inpatient trauma offerings. These include therapeutic services such as DBT for mindfulness and coping skills, traditional talk therapy to process and unpack, group therapy for peer-to-peer support, and family therapy; addiction treatment provided by professionals; medication for difficult-to-manage symptoms; and step-down programs to help patients reintegrate into daily life. Icarus Behavioral Health offers all of the above-mentioned treatments, thus providing patients with easy access to what they require for recovering from PTSD.

Icarus Behavioral Health is also equipped and accredited to serve both mental health primary clients and also dual diagnosis. It is important to note that there is an overlap between PTSD and substance abuse. Many individuals suffering from traumatic events have co-occurring diagnoses, including substance abuse. Icarus Behavioral Health understands the connection between substance abuse and PTSD. Thus, they offer patients the structure and the framework to deal with a substance use disorder and PTSD. Whether they choose to go for a residential treatment program or a type of partial hospitalization, clients are able to learn how to cope with a traumatic event without having to resort to drugs or alcohol.

Unfortunately, drugs or alcohol don’t provide the lasting effects that PTSD patients want.
