When worry starts deciding what you avoid and how you get through the day, it has moved past ordinary stress. Foundations Ohio offers anxiety treatment for adults through our mental health day treatment program in Hilliard, near Columbus, OH. You attend structured treatment during the day on a full-day or half-day schedule and go home each evening.
Anxiety is a normal response to stress, and it usually passes. An anxiety disorder is different. The worry or fear lasts, is hard to control, and starts to interfere with daily life. Common types include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and phobia-related disorders.
You might notice:
Anxiety looks different from one person to the next, and physical symptoms like chest pain deserve a medical check. A clinical assessment helps sort out what you’re dealing with and what level of support makes sense.
Anxiety treatment at Foundations Ohio takes place in our mental health day treatment program, which offers two levels of care:
Treatment focuses on the practical side of living with anxiety. Your plan reflects what drives your anxiety in particular, and day treatment can include building coping skills, working through problems as they come up, and learning how your symptoms work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely studied therapies for anxiety disorders. It centers on recognizing anxious thought patterns and practicing different ways to respond to them.
Anxiety treatment is one part of the broader mental health treatment we provide in Hilliard, so your care can shift if other concerns, such as depression, come up along the way.
Some people drink or use drugs to take the edge off anxiety. It can seem to help at first, but over time, alcohol can make anxiety worse. Benzodiazepines, a type of anti-anxiety medication, can also lead to physical dependence, and the FDA requires a boxed warning on them about the risks of misuse, addiction, and dependence. If you take a benzodiazepine, talk with your prescriber before changing how you take it.
When anxiety and substance use are tied together, dual diagnosis treatment addresses both at the same time, at the same Hilliard location.
