When beginning treatment for a mental health disorder or co-occurring addiction, individuals can benefit from a variety of therapeutic modalities. Two widely utilized approaches include behavioral therapies and psychoanalysis. While both offer effective support, each is designed to address specific needs and circumstances.

How is behavior therapy different than psychoanalysis? At American Detox and Treatment, we can help you understand the differences and pick the best one for your needs.

At American Detox and Treatment, we specialize in treatment programs specifically for military veterans and first responders. While we offer treatment for anyone in need, we also provide separate treatment pathways for those who serve their country. With these separate pathways, clients receive detox and inpatient services designed from a trauma-informed perspective. These therapies can help address PTSD and hallucinations.

At American Detox and Treatment, we can help answer questions like "Can PTSD cause hallucinations?" and "What treatment is best for veterans with PTSD?"

If you’ve experienced trauma and now struggle with your memory, you are not alone. Yes, PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) can directly affect your memory, causing a range of issues from memory loss and “brain fog” to having intensely vivid, intrusive memories of the traumatic event.

This happens because intense trauma can alter brain function, particularly in areas responsible for memory processing and emotional regulation, like the hippocampus and amygdala. Understanding this connection is a key part of healing from trauma.

PTSD often disrupts how memories are formed, stored, and recalled Learn why this happens and how treatment helps.

What to Expect from Our Residential Addiction Treatment Services

Our residential treatment program includes group counseling, individual counseling, next step preparation, and discharge planning. Counseling plays a crucial role in our program, as it helps to understand the root cause of the addiction, develop coping mechanisms, and acquire the skills needed for long-term recovery. We will empower each client to overcome their addiction and build a foundation for sustained recovery.
