Feeling anxious from time to time is part of being human. But when fear, panic, or constant worry take over your day-to-day life, it can be a sign of an anxiety disorder — especially when it coexists with substance use. At Amity Palm Beach, we provide professional, judgment-free treatment for individuals struggling with anxiety and related mental health conditions, including those with dual diagnoses.
Our outpatient programs offer structure, expert guidance, and evidence-based therapy to help you manage anxiety and move toward long-term stability.
Recognizing the Signs of an Anxiety Disorder
Everyone experiences anxiety differently, but symptoms often include:
Persistent, excessive worry that feels uncontrollable
Trouble sleeping or frequent fatigue
Difficulty focusing or racing thoughts
Irritability or restlessness
Panic attacks (rapid heart rate, chest tightness, shortness of breath)
Avoidance of social situations or responsibilities
Using substances like alcohol, marijuana, or prescription drugs to “take the edge off”
For many individuals, anxiety doesn’t exist in isolation — it’s often tied to past trauma, chronic stress, or co-occurring substance use. That’s why our dual diagnosis treatment is designed to address the full picture.
Types of Anxiety We Treat
Our clinical team specializes in treating a range of anxiety-related conditions, including:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Panic Disorder
Social Anxiety Disorder
Phobias and specific fears
Obsessive-Compulsive features or trauma-related anxiety
Substance-induced anxiety or withdrawal-related panic
We provide both psychiatric care and therapeutic support in a setting that respects your pace and your goals.
Anxiety and Addiction: Understanding the Connection
It’s common for individuals with anxiety to turn to substances to calm their nerves, reduce racing thoughts, or feel more socially at ease. But over time, this pattern can make symptoms worse — creating a cycle where anxiety fuels substance use, and substance use fuels anxiety.
At Amity Palm Beach, we break this cycle with dual diagnosis treatment that targets both the emotional root and the behavioral coping pattern. We don’t just help you stop using — we help you heal from what made escape feel necessary in the first place.
What Anxiety Treatment Looks Like at Amity
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) include:
Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and medication support
Individual therapy focused on anxiety reduction and emotional regulation
Group therapy using CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based techniques
Stress management and lifestyle coaching
Trauma-informed care for clients with PTSD or complex trauma
Family support and education, when appropriate
Continued care planning and alumni support after discharge
You’ll work with a licensed team that understands how anxiety shows up in the body, mind, and behaviors — and how to help you manage it safely, without relying on substances.

All services at Amity Palm Beach are delivered in a comfortable outpatient setting. We provide flexible scheduling to accommodate work, school, or transitional living programs.
