It’s normal to feel afraid or nervous during and after a traumatic experience. In time, most people recover. However, for some, the traumatic event causes a variety of symptoms that affect their quality of life, leading to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The experienced team at Creative Care offers an inpatient treatment program for the management of PTSD to help you regain control over your symptoms and your life. For help, call us today.

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental health condition that develops after a traumatic event. It’s normal to develop feelings of fear or unease after experiencing something terrifying.
While most people recover from a traumatic event without it interfering with their everyday lives, some people have a more difficult time and develop symptoms that affect their mood and behavior. With this disorder, you may feel stress or fear even when there is no danger.
Your Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder symptoms may develop soon after the incident or years later. For a diagnosis, your symptoms must last a month or more and interfere with your relationships and responsibilities. Symptoms include:
- Flashbacks and nightmares
- Avoiding triggers
- An exaggerated startle response
- A quickness to anger or emotional outbursts
- Impaired memory of the traumatic event
- Low self-esteem
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder doesn’t occur in everyone who goes through something traumatic. For example, you’re more at risk of the mental health condition if:
- You lived through a traumatic, life-altering event
- The trauma occurred during your childhood
- You were injured or you saw someone else injured
- There has been little emotional support
Treatment for your PTSD includes medication and psychotherapy. The experienced team at Creative Care offers a comprehensive inpatient treatment program to provide the ongoing care you need to recover from your PTSD. Your treatment may include:
- Psychotherapy
- Professional observation
- Nutrition therapy
- Equine-assisted psychotherapy
- Yoga
- Expressive art therapy
