24 Hour Crisis Stabilization

PTSD Treatment

You are not alone, as many people may develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following a traumatic occasion. Approximately 6% of the U.S. population will be diagnosed with PTSD at some point, according to the National Center for PTSD. The good news is that with proper treatment, many find recovery. At SUN Behavioral Health Delaware, we solve unmet needs by providing PTSD treatment. Sometimes, when PTSD symptoms exist, it can feel like a crisis, which is why we offer crisis care that has 24/7 admission.

What We Treat: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Some people may develop PTSD after experiencing a scary or dangerous event. People can expect fear following a traumatic event, but sometimes, these emotions continue or worsen with time. People with PTSD may continue to feel anxious or stressed even when danger is no longer present. 

How We Treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder at SUN Behavioral Health Delaware

The best way to improve PTSD symptoms is by receiving treatment. This treatment often includes psychotherapy, medications, or a combination of both, and a mental health professional can find the best treatment plan for an individual's unique needs and symptoms. At SUN Behavioral Health Delaware, we offer no-cost care assessments that allow you to meet with a representative as they develop your treatment plan. We will work with you, your doctors, and any assessments you have had to determine the best course of action for your individual needs. Our mental health services include inpatient and outpatient programming for PTSD. 

Inpatient at SUN Behavioral Health Delaware

Our mental health inpatient is available for adults and adolescents, and people typically stay at our facility for 7-14 days. 

Outpatient at SUN Behavioral Health Delaware

When it comes to our outpatient programming, we offer mental health partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) for adults Monday through Friday. At this time, we only provide mental health PHP for adolescents.

Veteran PTSD Treatment

Many veterans find a combination of therapy and medication to be effective in treating PTSD symptoms. Psychotherapy options often include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), as they can help change thoughts and beliefs that may be related to PTSD symptoms.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Causes

Any traumatic experience can result in the development of PTSD. These events may include war, sexual assault, abuse, natural disasters, or a car accident. They can also develop at any point after the event, and many people develop symptoms months or years afterward.
