Talking with a therapist is essential for veterans to process the trauma experienced while in activity duty and relieve the PTSD symptoms.
Different kinds of therapies can be used as treatments for PTSD:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a goal-oriented therapy that helps patients accept the things they cannot change and change the things that are in their control. CBT helps the client replace negative thought patterns with healthy and constructive thoughts.
Prolonged Exposure (PE)
PE is a form of CBT that focuses on helping people face their fears by slowly introducing the patient to traumatic events with the help of a licensed trauma therapist.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a therapeutic modality that helps patients reprocess their traumatic experience by using dialogue, memories and eye movements. This process helps clients desensitize themselves from the trauma and the triggers to relive the memory of the trauma.
Transportation, Housing, & Accommodations for Vets
Solara Mental Health is able to provide transportation to and from its facilities in San Diego, CA for most of the TriWest covered states.
Along with transportation, Solara can provide long-term housing at its beautiful Pacific Beach, San Diego residences that are close to the treatment center. These housing accommodations can be provided for both inpatient and outpatient treatment that may follow inpatient treatment.
Veteran clients may remain in housing for as many weeks or months as the VA insurance authorizes. We often find that the VA authorizes a considerable length of stay, allowing us the ability to provide quality treatment for the amount of time needed to heal and recover.
Our Residences at Pacific Beach in San Diego
At Solara Mental Health Care in San Diego, CA, we provide offsite housing in a luxurious facility right next door to our psychiatric treatment center. This allows those suffering from mental health disorders to move seamlessly between their appointments and their comfortable accommodations. The safety, comfort, and compassion provided by our expert team are the hallmarks of our mental health center.
Pet-Friendly Environment
Solara has created an environment where patients can bring their pets, recognizing the critical role they play in mental wellness. The presence of a pet can provide a sense of home, reducing stress and fostering a sense of calm and comfort.
