What Is Anxiety Treatment?

Anxiety treatment centers are specialized facilities where individuals can receive comprehensive care for anxiety and co-occurring mental health conditions like substance use disorder in a structured, immersive environment. Unlike traditional outpatient therapy, residential and intensive outpatient programs provide a more intensive level of support, helping individuals develop the tools they need to manage anxiety in a safe and structured setting.

Understanding Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety disorders create an overwhelming sense of fear, worry, and unease that can make everyday life difficult.[1] While occasional stress is normal, chronic anxiety can be crippling, especially when combined with substance use disorder or past trauma.

Many turn to alcohol or drugs to self-medicate, using substances to numb anxious thoughts or avoid discomfort temporarily.[2] However, this coping mechanism often worsens symptoms over time, leading to addiction and further emotional distress. That’s why dual diagnosis treatment—which addresses both anxiety and substance use—is essential for long-term recovery.

At The Last Resort Recovery Center (TLR) in Texas, we specialize in comprehensive anxiety treatment for men, offering a structured environment where lasting healing begins.

Signs You Might Need Anxiety Treatment

It’s easy to convince yourself that you can handle your anxiety alone. But if any of these sound familiar, a more intensive anxiety treatment program may be the right step for you:

01

Constant Worry or Fear

Anxiety is interfering with your daily life, making it hard to focus on work, relationships, or personal goals.

02

Panic Attacks

You experience sudden, intense waves of anxiety with physical symptoms like sweating, rapid heartbeat, or dizziness.

03

Self-Medication

You rely on alcohol or drugs to numb anxious thoughts or manage stress.

04

Avoidance Behaviors

You avoid social situations, work responsibilities, and daily tasks because of overwhelming fear.

04

Previous Treatment Struggles

You’ve tried therapy or medication but haven’t found long-term relief.

Addressing these challenges requires specialized programs that understand the unique pressures faced by individuals struggling with anxiety and dual diagnosis and offer confidential, supportive care tailored to their needs.

Why Intensive Treatment Works for Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety is a complex mental health condition that affects your brain, body, and emotional well-being. If you’ve tried and failed to find relief from anxiety in an outpatient setting, it might be time to explore other options. Especially if past trauma or substance use are contributing factors.

At The Last Resort Recovery Center, our men’s-only residential and outpatient anxiety treatment programs provide:

01 A Structured Environment That Reduces Stress

Living with anxiety and addiction can feel unpredictable, but structure creates stability. Our residential and intensive outpatient levels of care provide a daily therapy routine, wellness activities, and recovery work—helping men regain control over their lives.

Since anxiety and substance use often go hand in hand, our dual diagnosis treatment ensures both are addressed simultaneously. This prevents relapse and provides long-term tools for managing symptoms.

Our 55-acre residential ranch in Smithville, TX, offers a peaceful, distraction-free setting where men can focus entirely on their recovery. Men can access equine therapy, fitness, experiential therapy, and other holistic treatment modalities through our residential and outpatient programs in Austin, TX. 

Treatment Modalities

Specialized Support for Veterans

Veterans face unique mental health challenges, often experiencing anxiety, PTSD, and co-occurring substance use disorders due to combat exposure, high-stress environments, and the difficulties of reintegration into civilian life. Studies have shown that veterans seeking support for PTSD are more likely to experience co-occurring anxiety and mood disorders alongside more severe PTSD symptoms.[3]  Ultimately, these conditions can make everyday activities feel overwhelming, and many turn to alcohol or drugs as a way to self-medicate. Unfortunately, this often leads to a cycle of dependence that worsens both anxiety and overall mental well-being.

At The Last Resort Recovery Center, we have seen Veterans thrive in our highly structured program, which mirrors the routine, accountability, and camaraderie many experienced during their service. Our Veteran-specific anxiety, substance use, and dual diagnosis treatment programs are designed to:

  • Process trauma in a structured, safe setting with experienced clinicians who understand military culture.
  • Develop emotional regulation skills to manage anxiety, stress, and PTSD symptoms effectively.
  • Break free from substance use and self-medication by replacing unhealthy coping mechanisms with evidence-based strategies.
  • Rebuild a sense of purpose and connection through group therapy, equine-assisted therapy, and experiential treatments emphasizing teamwork and resilience.

Our goal is to provide comprehensive support that not only helps with anxiety and PTSD but also empowers Veterans to build fulfilling, stable lives beyond treatment.
