Acute Stress Disorder Treatment at Auburn Rehab

Trauma Can Be Overwhelming. Recovery Starts with Support.

🌪️ Panic Disorder Treatment at Auburn Rehab

If you’ve experienced a traumatic event and feel emotionally paralyzed, you’re not alone. Acute Stress Disorder (ASD) is a short-term psychological response to trauma that can feel disorienting, exhausting, and scary. At Auburn Rehab, we provide trauma-informed treatment that helps you process the experience, manage symptoms, and prevent long-term complications like PTSD.

🧠 What Is Acute Stress Disorder?

Acute Stress Disorder typically develops within three days to one month after a traumatic experience — such as an accident, assault, natural disaster, or sudden loss. It is the mind and body’s intense reaction to shock or fear and may interfere with daily functioning.
Symptoms of Acute Stress Disorder may include:
  • Flashbacks or intrusive memories
  • Nightmares and difficulty sleeping
  • Intense anxiety or panic attacks
  • Dissociation or emotional numbness
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Avoidance of people, places, or thoughts linked to the trauma
  • Irritability, hypervigilance, or exaggerated startle response
If left untreated, ASD can evolve into Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Early intervention is crucial for healing and long-term recovery.

🩺 Initial Assessment: A Safe Space to Begin

At Auburn Rehab, we start with a comprehensive trauma-informed assessment. Our licensed clinicians will work with you to understand:
  • The nature and timing of the traumatic event
  • Your emotional and physical symptoms
  • Risk factors for developing PTSD
  • Co-occurring conditions such as depression, substance use, or anxiety
  • Your preferences for care
Your individualized care plan will reflect your experiences, strengths, and recovery goals.
