Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) Treatment

Overcome Constant Worry and Reclaim a Sense of Balance

Living with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) often means being consumed by excessive worry, even when there’s no immediate threat. This persistent anxiety can make daily tasks feel overwhelming and drain your emotional energy. Over time, it can affect your health, career, and relationships—especially when paired with substance use.

At Innervisions Recovery Center, we offer personalized, dual diagnosis care for individuals struggling with both GAD and substance use disorders. Through evidence-based therapies, holistic interventions, and a supportive healing environment, we help you regain clarity, reduce anxiety, and rebuild your confidence.

"We treat these conditions in conjunction with substance use, not independently"

Understanding Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

When Worry Becomes Constant and Unmanageable
GAD is defined by persistent, uncontrollable worry about various areas of life, including health, finances, relationships, or daily responsibilities. Unlike typical anxiety that’s tied to specific stressors, GAD creates ongoing unease that may not have a clear cause.

Common symptoms of GAD include:

  • Frequent and excessive worry that’s hard to control

  • Restlessness, irritability, or feeling “on edge”

  • Difficulty focusing or making decisions

  • Trouble sleeping or staying asleep

  • Physical symptoms like muscle tension, fatigue, or digestive discomfort

When GAD coexists with substance use, it creates a cycle of distress and temporary escape. Individuals may turn to alcohol, drugs, or medications to ease their symptoms—only to find that the relief is short-lived and the anxiety worsens over time. That’s why we treat both conditions together for a more complete and lasting recovery.

Our Comprehensive Approach to GAD Treatment

Our treatment philosophy focuses on addressing the unique connection between anxiety and substance use. At Innervisions Recovery Center, we help clients understand how these conditions interact, while providing personalized support for both.

Our program includes:

Dual Diagnosis Care for Sustainable Anxiety Management

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

We treat GAD alongside co-occurring substance use disorders, recognizing that both must be addressed together for successful, long-term healing.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps clients recognize negative thinking patterns, reframe anxious thoughts, and develop more grounded, reality-based responses to stress.

Exposure-Based Therapy

When appropriate, we use gradual exposure to anxiety triggers to help clients build tolerance and reduce avoidant behaviors.

Medication Management

Some clients may benefit from carefully prescribed medications like SSRIs or SNRIs to manage overwhelming symptoms, with ongoing oversight from our medical team.

Holistic Wellness Therapies

Mindfulness, yoga, expressive arts, and movement therapy are used to calm the nervous system and support overall well-being.

Supportive Residential Setting

Our home-like environment offers a peaceful, private space where clients can relax, reflect, and recover without judgment or pressure.
