Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can feel like you’re stuck in survival mode — long after the danger has passed. At Amity Palm Beach, we provide expert, trauma-informed outpatient care for individuals struggling with PTSD and co-occurring conditions like addiction, depression, or anxiety.
Whether your trauma stems from childhood abuse, a recent event, military service, or years of chronic stress, we’re here to help you process what happened without judgment. Healing is possible, and it begins with compassionate care tailored to your story.
What Is PTSD?
PTSD is a mental health condition that can develop after a person experiences or witnesses a traumatic event. It’s not a sign of weakness — it’s a natural response to overwhelming stress. When your nervous system doesn’t fully recover from the shock, it can stay locked in a pattern of hypervigilance, avoidance, or emotional numbness.
You may be living with PTSD if you experience:
Nightmares, flashbacks, or intrusive memories
Feeling constantly on edge or easily startled
Avoidance of people, places, or conversations tied to the trauma
Emotional detachment or numbness
Intense guilt, shame, or anger
Panic attacks or overwhelming anxiety
Substance use to escape thoughts or memories
If these symptoms are disrupting your life or keeping you from feeling safe in your own body, it’s time to get help.
PTSD and Substance Use: Breaking the Cycle
It’s common for individuals with PTSD to use drugs or alcohol to numb distressing memories or cope with emotional overwhelm. But over time, substance use can deepen trauma symptoms and delay the healing process. This is where dual diagnosis treatment becomes essential.
At Amity Palm Beach, we specialize in treating PTSD and addiction together — not separately. Our integrated approach helps clients reduce emotional reactivity, develop healthier coping skills, and build stability without the use of substances.
