Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) Treatment

Relieve Constant Worry and Regain Emotional Balance

"We treat these conditions in conjunction with substance use, not independently."

When Everyday Life Feels Consumed by Worry

Understanding Generalized Anxiety Disorder

GAD is a chronic condition marked by excessive worry about a wide range of daily concerns. This constant tension interferes with focus, drains energy, and impacts overall well-being.

Common symptoms include:

Ongoing, uncontrollable worry about multiple areas of life
Restlessness, irritability, or a constant sense of being “on edge”
Difficulty concentrating or making everyday decisions
Insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns
Physical symptoms like fatigue, muscle tension, or digestive issues

Many turn to drugs or alcohol to self-medicate, hoping to quiet racing thoughts. Unfortunately, this often worsens anxiety over time—creating a cycle that requires integrated care to truly heal.

Outpatient Care Designed for GAD and Recovery

At Pristine Recovery, we combine therapeutic guidance, clinical oversight, and holistic practices to help clients overcome GAD while addressing co-occurring substance use in a safe and flexible outpatient setting.

Take The First Step

Dual Diagnosis Care for Lasting Relief

Integrated Treatment for GAD and Addiction

We design coordinated plans that target both GAD symptoms and substance use, ensuring progress is balanced and sustainable.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT provides tools to identify negative thought patterns and build healthier responses to daily stressors.

Exposure-Based Therapy

Gradual, guided exposure to anxious thoughts or situations can reduce avoidance and strengthen emotional tolerance.

Medication Management

When clinically appropriate, SSRIs, SNRIs, or other medications may be used to reduce symptoms, always under careful supervision.
