Understanding 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.

Symptoms of Anxiety

Symptoms of an anxiety disorder can become severe and affect your everyday life. Effective treatment options help manage symptoms such as:
  • Persistent fear or worry
  • Feelings of severe panic, impending death, or doom
  • Sweating
  • Feelings of fatigue or weakness
  • Rapid heart rate
  • Breathing rapidly 
  • Difficulty in focusing on day-to-day activities
Anxiety disorders can be treated with effective, evidence-based treatment by mental health clinicians.

How Our Program Differs

We know you’re different from anyone else, so we offer acute mental health care that meets your unique needs. With Ocean View, you’ll experience stabilization-focused care that provides structure and support without stigma. With your input, we build partnerships with medical and behavioral health services so you can transition from us to your daily life. We do this through providing comprehensive mental health services that are accessible to everyone. 

  • On-site Team of Psychiatrists: Our on-site psychiatrists provide medication stabilization, monitoring, and management. Your well-being is vital throughout your stay in our inpatient mental health crisis facility and our outpatient services. 
  • Case Management & Aftercare Support: Case management begins when you’re admitted to either our inpatient or outpatient program. Our case managers and social workers ensure you have a safe place to go, whether that’s housing or a facility, once you leave us.
  • Transportation Coordination Provided: We offer transportation services coordinated with a trusted provider that takes you to and from inpatient intake, discharge destinations, as well as transportation to/from our on-site outpatient programs. *Transportation is provided to patients within a 50-mile radius
  • Stabilization for Managing Psychiatric Symptoms: Ocean View provides 24/7 inpatient psychiatric care. We also have outpatient treatment programs.
  • Patient Resource Network: Transitioning from inpatient or outpatient treatment can be overwhelming. That’s why we have an opt-in patient follow-up option. You don’t have to be alone in managing your symptoms.

Our Levels of Care for Those Struggling With Anxiety

Understanding the different levels of care available can help you make informed decisions about your mental health treatment. At Ocean View, we offer comprehensive options tailored to meet varying needs, from intensive inpatient programs to supportive outpatient services. Our goal is to provide the appropriate level of care to promote recovery and stability.

Inpatient Psychiatric Care

Individuals presenting with psychiatric symptoms can be admitted to Ocean View’s inpatient unit. Because mental health challenges present in a variety of ways, some of the criteria for admission include:

  • Insomnia, racing thoughts, impulsivity, rapid or pressured speech
  • Abnormal bouts of euphoric energy 
  • Reckless behavior or making decisions that affect an individual’s safety or well-being 
  • Inability to provide shelter, food, and safety as a result of mental impairment
  • Helplessness, hopelessness
  • Suicidal or homicidal ideations 
  • Psychosis 
  • Self-harming behaviors

Once you’re admitted, your team will develop a treatment plan that includes aftercare planning. Your treatment plan will be evaluated daily to reflect clinical improvement and make adjustments as needed.

Personalized Care

Ocean View’s inpatient program provides personalized, empathetic, comprehensive care. Our care team provides:

  • Licensed psychiatric care
  • 24/7 nursing and monitoring
  • 6 daily group sessions
  • Psychoeducational groups that focus on understanding mental health disorders and their symptoms
  • Therapeutic recreation to develop skills that help you find inner peace (art, painting, music, and animals/pets)
  • Coping skills development to help with symptom management and quieting negative thoughts or feelings
  • Patients are placed in groups based on the severity of their symptoms

Medication Stabilization

Medication management is a key part of our inpatient crisis stabilization, where medications are carefully reviewed and prescribed based on each individual’s medical history, needs, and potential side effects. If a patient is experiencing agitation or other symptoms, appropriate medications may be used to help manage these issues safely. Continuous monitoring allows our healthcare team to make adjustments as needed to ensure optimal care and safety throughout treatment.

Outpatient Levels of Care

Ocean View’s outpatient levels of care follow an inpatient stay or when symptoms aren’t acute enough to warrant hospitalization. Once your symptoms are evaluated, you will be admitted to either our partial hospitalization program (PHP) or intensive outpatient program (IOP). Both levels of care provide a safe, structured care that supports your symptom management.

Partial Hospitalization Program

Our PHP is a more structured level of care than our IOP. While here, you will engage in care that increases your coping skills and independence. The structured care includes:
  • Four group sessions a day that meet five days a week
  • Sessions that include a psychoeducational group led by a social worker and a therapeutic recreation support session led by a recreation therapist
  • Case management
  • Snacks and lunch

Intensive Outpatient Program

While our IOP is a structured level of care, we focus on providing the same secure, enjoyable, and compassionate care found in our inpatient and PHP levels of care. However, we also include:
  • Focused coping skills
  • Community reintegration

Continued Medication Management Support With Our PHP and IOP

After your acute psychosis symptoms and medication are stabilized, you will transition to a lower level of care, and you will receive medication management services. Both our PHP and IOP provide continued medication management under the care of our psychiatric team.

Aftercare & Opt-In Patient Follow-Up

Your aftercare plan isn’t developed as you approach returning to your life away from us. When you first create your treatment plan, you start planning your transition back into the real world. Our treatment team understands the importance of an individualized aftercare plan that addresses issues you face in the real world. Our personalized approach includes:

  • Case manager support
  • Outpatient transitions
  • Housing or facility placements
  • Community support referrals

Our Opt-In Patient Follow-Up (Patient Resource Network) continues to provide support and encouragement after you transition back into your life.
