ANXIETY
Live your best life
Anxiety is a normal part of life, but intense levels can often signify an anxiety disorder. There are many types of anxiety disorders, from generalized anxiety and social anxiety to specific phobias. Anxiety disorders may also trigger substance use or repeated episodes of relapse. One of the most effective methods of treatment for anxiety is a combination of medication and therapy. In some cases, hospitalization may be necessary. At Spark Recovery, your individualized treatment plans may include goals to address your maladaptive behaviors and skills for managing your symptoms of anxiety. These will be addressed in your group therapy sessions and individual meetings with your therapist.

- Feeling nervous, restless or tense
- Having a sense of impending danger, panic or doom
- Having an increased heart rate
- Breathing rapidly (hyperventilation)
