Rehab for Anxiety

We all deal with stress in different ways and it’s perfectly normal to feel anxious and worried in certain situations. But when these anxious feelings happen all, or most of, the time you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder which can feel debilitating.

Anxiety treatment at Delamere

At Delamere residential rehab, we help you get on top of your anxiety no matter the cause. We are here to listen and support you in a comfortable, non-judgmental environment.

At Delamere, we have a unique approach to anxiety treatment. Instead of just treating the symptoms of anxiety, we help our guests to identify the cause of their problems and heal from them. We ensure every guest feels safe and comfortable in relaxed surroundings before embarking on our 4-phase anxiety treatment model that has been crafted using the latest research.

During our anxiety rehab programme, guests will partake in a range of traditional psychotherapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), group therapy, and 1-1 counselling, as well as more holistic therapies.

Amongst these is breathwork, one of the disruptive tools we use to help our guests conquer anxiety and any associated addiction, and journaling. Writing a daily journal can play an integral part in coping with anxiety. It can help you to process your thoughts and emotions and reduce stressful feelings. At Delamere, we actively encourage regular journalling throughout your anxiety rehab programme to help you regain control and improve your overall mental health. Guests are invited to complete a range of written assignments to help them explore the reason for their anxiety and inform their future-proof care plan.

Why go to rehab for anxiety?

People dealing with anxiety will often experience restlessness, irritability, muscle tension, difficulty concentrating and sleep problems. They excessively worry about everyday life, their health, work or relationships. Rehab for anxiety allows people struggling with anxiety disorders to press pause and reset their harmful thought processes and behaviours. It also encourages people to open up and talk about their feelings, sharing their thoughts, worries, and experiences with other people who are also living with anxiety. Similarly, anxiety and addiction often go hand in hand. A person may try to self-medicate to help them overcome anxious emotions, cope with stressful events, or avoid panic attacks, with substance abuse or alcohol and anxiety becoming inextricably linked.

On the other hand, certain addictive drugs that alter the pleasure receptors in the brain can also cause anxiety, such as cocaine, amphetamines, hallucinogens, and painkillers. Delamere is an addiction treatment and behavioural health clinic with clinical resources and expertise that exceeds what is often found at more traditional anxiety rehab centres, and as such we are able to manage dual-diagnosis, treating a guest’s anxiety disorder alongside addiction whether that be an alcohol addiction, drug addiction, or any type of behavioural addiction.
