What is PTSD?
PTSD may last for months or years after multiple traumatic events such as natural disasters. Not everyone experiences this level of trauma from the same type of events. However, people with PTSD suffer:
- Ongoing anxiety
- Agitation
- Depression
Our expert team can assist individuals in overcoming trauma, anxiety, and depression through our treatment programs.
- Nightmares
- Memory loss
- Flashbacks
The symptoms of PTSD can be very severe and can severely affect a person’s quality of everyday life. A study by the National Institutes of Mental Health found that nearly 5 million Americans suffer from PTSD. This number is disproportionately higher in military veterans at 10%–17% compared to 1%–3% in the general population.
The symptoms of PTSD are categorized into these four main groups:
- Re-experiencing
- Avoidance/Emotional Numbness
- Arousal
- Cognition (Thought Processes/Intrusive Thoughts)
People with PTSD will often focus on re-experiencing symptoms since they are often the most visible. Some individuals with PTSD have been known to have hallucinations or delusions regarding these symptoms. In addition, there may be physical symptoms such as a headache or stomach ache.
Those who experience PTSD will often try to avoid triggers that lead them to think about their traumatic events. In addition, they may often feel angry and/or anxious in response to triggers that cause them to relive their traumatic experiences. Cognitive behavioral therapy can assist with overcoming trauma through treatment.

Crestview Recovery offers a PTSD Treatment Center in Portland
PTSD treatment at Crestview Recovery begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine the best course of trauma treatment. We offer both inpatient and outpatient treatment programs, depending on the needs of the patient. Inpatient treatment is typically recommended for those who are struggling with more severe symptoms or who have not been successful in previous attempts at outpatient treatment.
Our inpatient program includes individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy to involve family members, as well as medication management and other services. The goal of treatment is to help patients develop the skills they need to cope with their symptoms and triggers and to experience healing. We also work with patients to address any underlying issues that may be contributing to their disorder.
Outpatient treatment is typically recommended for those who are struggling with less severe symptoms. Our outpatient program includes individual psychotherapy and group therapy, as well as medication management and other services. The goal of treatment is to help patients develop the skills they need to cope with their symptoms and triggers and to experience healing. We also work with patients to address any underlying issues that may be contributing to their disorder, such as co-occurring disorders like trauma and depression.
