What are the most common symptoms of anxiety?

Common symptoms of anxiety include excessive worry, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, irritability, muscle tension, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and panic attacks. Symptoms can vary from person to person and may interfere with daily life if left untreated.

When should I seek treatment for anxiety?

You should consider professional treatment when anxiety begins affecting your relationships, work, school performance, physical health, or overall quality of life. Early intervention can help prevent symptoms from becoming more severe and improve long-term outcomes.

What types of therapy are used to treat anxiety?

Anxiety is commonly treated using evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based approaches, and trauma-informed therapy. Treatment plans are tailored to each individual's unique needs and goals.

Can anxiety occur alongside substance abuse?

Yes. Anxiety disorders frequently occur alongside drug or alcohol addiction. Many individuals use substances to cope with anxiety symptoms, which can lead to dependency over time. Treating both conditions together often leads to better recovery outcomes.

Can anxiety be treated during addiction recovery?

Absolutely. At Decision Point Center, we understand that anxiety and substance use disorders often go hand in hand. Our integrated treatment approach addresses both conditions simultaneously, helping clients build healthier coping skills and achieve lasting recovery.

We Help You Overcome Anxiety, Addiction, and Co-Occurring Disorders

If you are suffering from anxiety, you are not alone. More than 40 million adults in the United States have an anxiety disorder – that’s 19.1% of the population. As the most common mental health concern in the country, anxiety also affects 7% of children and young adults ages 3 to 17. Further, people with anxiety are almost twice as likely to develop a substance use disorder, and 43% of people seeking treatment have a diagnosis or symptoms of anxiety, depression, or another mental health disorder.

Not only can anti-anxiety medications be addictive, but many people use drugs and alcohol as a way to self-medicate or cope with anxiety disorders.

Identifying an Anxiety Disorder

Anxiety is part of life, and it can be useful in certain situations. For example, a bit of anxiety before a test can make you more likely to study. When fear, worry, and distress take over your life, however, you might be looking at an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders manifest in many ways, but they all share some common symptoms. Most notably, “persistent or excessive fear or worry in situations that are non-threatening.”

Other common symptoms include:

Feelings of apprehension or dread
Being tense or jumpy
Restlessness
Irritability
Anticipating the worst
Being watchful for signs of danger
Pounding or racing heart
Shortness of breath
Sweating, tremors, and twitches
Headaches
Fatigue and insomnia
Upset stomach or diarrhea
Frequent urination

Many times, doctors prescribe benzodiazepines and other drugs to help alleviate these symptoms. But if the root of your anxiety disorder isn’t addressed, as well, you could easily develop a drug dependency.

If untreated anxiety has led to addiction, an inpatient program can help you deal with both problems at once in a safe, non-judgmental environment.

Anxiety Diagnosis and Treatment

At Decision Point Center, we want to get to the root of your substance use and mental health disorders. As such, we will work hard to identify what kind of anxiety disorder you are facing and exactly how that plays into your addiction.

You might be suffering from:

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Social anxiety disorder
Panic disorder
Phobias
Agoraphobia
Selective mutism
Separation anxiety disorder
Substance-induced anxiety disorder

While the physical symptoms of anxiety are sometimes misdiagnosed, dual diagnoses can be easier to identify. Additionally, the treatments for anxiety and substance use disorder can be very similar, especially when facilities like ours focus on holistic wellbeing and treat you as a whole person.

When you choose treatment at Decision Point Center, you will have access to a variety of proven therapies, countless enrichment activities, life skills development, and beneficial support programs.

All of our clients participate in 12-step programs, but unlike other treatment centers, we let individuals choose the program that works best for them.
