Compassionate Care for Anxiety in a Private, Healing Environment

When anxiety begins to interfere with your ability to enjoy life, connect with others, or carry out daily tasks, it’s time to seek help. Ocean View Psychiatric Health Facility provides compassionate anxiety treatment in Long Beach—a safe space to stabilize your symptoms and begin your journey toward lasting peace.

What is an Anxiety Disorder?

Everyone feels worried from time to time, but when anxiety becomes persistent, overwhelming, and affects your daily life, it may be a sign of an anxiety disorder. These disorders involve more than temporary worry or fear. Without treatment, they can escalate and impact your emotional and physical well-being.

Signs and Symptoms of Different Types of Anxiety Disorders

Ocean View offers expert anxiety treatment in Long Beach for a range of anxiety disorders, including:

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

  • Persistent worry
  • Restlessness or irritability
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Fatigue or nausea
  • Difficulty concentrating
If untreated, GAD can contribute to depression, cardiovascular strain, and reduced quality of life.

Panic Disorder

Panic disorder is characterized by sudden, intense panic attacks that may include:
  • Chest pain or shortness of breath
  • Rapid heart rate
  • Fear of losing control
  • Chills, nausea, or dizziness
These attacks may come on unexpectedly and create a fear of recurrence, leading to further isolation and stress.

Social Anxiety Disorder

Social anxiety disorder causes intense fear in social settings, interfering with work, school, and relationships. Symptoms can include:
  • Fear of embarrassment or judgment
  • Avoidance of social events
  • Nausea or shaking
  • Difficulty making eye contact
With professional support, social anxiety is highly treatable—allowing you to regain confidence and connection.

  • Daily team-based treatment planning led by psychiatrists, nurses, and social workers
  • One-on-one daily sessions with a social worker to track progress and provide personalized support
  • Psychoeducational groups that focus on understanding symptoms, identifying triggers, developing coping skills, and planning for life after discharge
  • Therapeutic recreation including art, music, games, and skill-building to promote emotional expression and social connection
  • A culture of kindness, empathy, and attentiveness that helps patients feel seen, heard, and supported
Every element of care at Ocean View is designed to provide structure, safety, and hope for those experiencing acute anxiety symptoms.

Levels of Care for Anxiety Treatment

At Ocean View, we match each patient to the appropriate level of care based on symptom severity and clinical need. Our goal is to provide the right environment for stabilization and skill-building, whether you need 24/7 support or a flexible outpatient option.

Inpatient Psychiatric Care (Psych Unit)

Our inpatient unit is designed for individuals who meet acute criteria and are experiencing severe psychiatric symptoms such as suicidal ideation, psychosis, or inability to care for themselves safely. Inpatient care includes:
  • 24/7 medical oversight
  • Private and shared rooms
  • Daily psychiatric oversight and medication stabilization
  • 6 Groups Daily
    • Psychoeducation with social workers
    • Recreational therapy led by a certified therapist (art, music, games)
    • Coping skills and emotional regulation
    • Patients are grouped by how severe their condition is, not by their age or specific diagnosis
  • Typical length of stay: 7–10 days (may vary)
  • Transportation coordination available
  • Medication Stabilization
To qualify for inpatient admission, patients must meet insurance-defined criteria for acuity, such as active risk of self-harm or significant psychiatric impairment.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

PHP is a structured outpatient option for individuals who no longer require 24-hour care but still benefit from a high level of clinical support. PHP includes:
  • Attendance five days per week from 10:00am – 2:30pm
  • 4 engaging group sessions per day focused on:
    • Symptom education
    • Trigger identification
    • Coping skills and relapse prevention
    • Medication compliance and life planning
  • Medication management and psychiatric oversight
  • Catered lunch and snacks
  • Transportation available upon request

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

IOP is ideal for patients stepping down from PHP or those needing flexible care while maintaining responsibilities outside treatment. The primary difference between PHP and IOP is the number of days attended per week.
  • Attendance 2 to 4 days per week from 10:00am – 2:30pm
  • Focused group sessions on symptom stabilization, coping mechanisms, and community reintegration
  • Continued medication management and support
  • Catered lunch and snacks included
