Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Treatment in San Diego

Crownview Medical Group takes a comprehensive and holistic approach to the treatment of trauma-related conditions, like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Many people with PTSD also suffer with associated conditions such as addictions or mental illness, which require a specialist assessment and treatment planning.

Our treatment for PTSD focuses on these co-existing issues and the underlying core issues, trauma, and family dynamics which may have fueled the symptoms.

Known as post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD is a legitimate mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event.

You might be most familiar with this condition in the framework of individuals who served in the military and wrestle with trauma experienced during their time of service —sometimes long after their term of duty is over. Other traumatic events that may trigger PTSD can include domestic violence, being a victim of a violent crime, or witnessing or experiencing a traumatic accident, just to name a few examples.

But PTSD does not discriminate.  This condition can arise in civilians, the young, the old, and people of any gender or any social status. PTSD impacts 1 in 11 Americans within their lifetimes, making daily activities incredibly challenging and wreaking havoc in individual lives.

Symptoms can include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts about the event. As mentioned, this condition may also coincide with other mental health conditions, like depression or addictive disorders.

PTSD affects individuals differently. It can emerge shortly after the trauma took place, or symptoms can surface years after the event.

Since it was officially recognized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) in 1980, PTSD has continued to be researched, and treatments for this condition have evolved drastically over time. Through clinical research, mental health professionals are able to extend lasting, effective treatment to individuals suffering from the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder.

This is where the mental health experts at Crownview Medical Group stand out. If you or someone you care about is seeking PTSD treatment, San Diego-based Crownview Medical can offer personalized care, innovative treatments, and cutting-edge mental health solutions.

PTSD changes brain chemistry in much the same way substance abuse and addiction do. Often, these disorders form at the same time and feed off one another. The same trauma that caused PTSD can also trigger a substance use disorder.

We offer specific dual diagnosis treatment for PTSD and the co-occurring disorders that are typically experienced by people with PTSD. We understand the critical importance for treating all aspects of trauma and addictions in the recovery process. Our multidisciplinary team are experienced in assessing, diagnosing and treating both PTSD and co-occurring disorders.
