Overview
What is anxiety & addiction treatment?
Anxiety disorders — including generalized anxiety, panic disorder, and social anxiety — are among the most common conditions co-occurring with addiction. Many people use alcohol or drugs to self-medicate anxiety symptoms, which over time worsens both conditions. Treating them together addresses the root cause, not just the substance use.
Psychiatric evaluation
A licensed psychiatrist assesses your specific anxiety presentation — GAD, panic, social anxiety, or another type.
CBT for anxiety
Cognitive behavioral therapy directly targets the thought patterns that fuel anxiety and the urge to self-medicate.
Coping skills training
Breathing techniques, grounding exercises, and distress tolerance skills replace substance use as a coping mechanism.
Non-habit-forming medication options
When appropriate, non-addictive anti-anxiety medications are used in place of benzodiazepines.
Who this program is for
This program is for anyone using alcohol or drugs to manage anxiety, panic attacks, or chronic worry — or whose substance use has triggered or worsened anxiety symptoms. It's appropriate whether or not you've been formally diagnosed with an anxiety disorder before.

Withdrawal worsens anxiety
The process
What to expect.
Anxiety treatment here means learning to feel calm without a substance — not just suppressing symptoms.
Anxiety & substance assessment
Your psychiatrist evaluates your anxiety symptoms alongside your substance use history to understand how the two interact.
Individual therapy
CBT and exposure-based techniques help you face anxiety triggers without turning to substances.
Skills-based groups
Group sessions teach grounding, breathing, and distress tolerance skills you can use in real moments of anxiety.
Medication review
If medication is appropriate, your psychiatrist prioritizes non-habit-forming options and monitors their effectiveness.
Why self-medicating backfires
Self-medicating anxiety makes it worse over time.
Alcohol and sedatives provide short-term relief but disrupt the brain chemistry that regulates anxiety long-term — creating a cycle that's hard to break alone.
~20%
Of people with an anxiety disorder also have a substance use disorder
Anxiety and addiction frequently co-occur, often because substances are used to manage symptoms.
Rebound
Anxiety often worsens after substance use wears off
Alcohol and sedatives create a rebound effect, intensifying anxiety hours or days later.

Conditions treated in one coordinated plan
Your psychiatrist and therapist work together rather than treating anxiety and addiction separately.

Call nowCan anxiety cause addiction?
Anxiety itself doesn't cause addiction, but many people use alcohol or drugs to self-medicate anxiety symptoms, which can lead to dependence over time. Treating the underlying anxiety reduces the urge to self-medicate.
Will I be prescribed benzodiazepines for anxiety?
We prioritize non-habit-forming medications and therapy-based approaches for anxiety, especially given the addictive potential of benzodiazepines. Your psychiatrist will discuss the safest options for your situation.
How is anxiety treated alongside addiction?
Through integrated care — a licensed psychiatrist and your addiction treatment team work together, combining therapy, coping skills, and medication management when appropriate.
Is anxiety treatment covered by insurance?
Yes — mental health treatment is an essential health benefit under federal law. We verify your specific PPO benefits before admission, at no cost.
What therapy works best for anxiety?
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the most evidence-supported approach for anxiety disorders. We combine it with practical coping skills and, when needed, psychiatric medication management.
What if my anxiety started before my substance use?
That's common and important context for your treatment plan. Whether anxiety came first or substance use came first, our integrated approach addresses both as they exist now.
