FAQs about anxiety treatment
What are the symptoms of anxiety?
Anxiety symptoms range from psychological to physical. Persistent worry, difficulty making decisions, and a tendency to avoid situations that feel overwhelming are among the most common. Physically, anxiety often shows up as a racing heart, disrupted sleep, muscle tension, and fatigue. For many people, symptoms build gradually and become part of daily life before they recognise them as anxiety.
Is residential treatment necessary for anxiety, or only in certain cases?
Residential treatment is not the first step for most people with anxiety. It tends to make sense when outpatient therapy and medication haven’t been enough, when anxiety has become severe enough to significantly affect daily functioning, or when something else, such as alcohol or another substance, has become part of managing it. If any of those apply, rehab for anxiety in a residential setting offers a level of intensive, structured support that outpatient care can’t match.
What therapies are used in anxiety treatment at Charterhouse Clinic?
The therapeutic programme draws primarily on cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, both evidence-based approaches recommended by NICE for anxiety disorders. Sessions focus on identifying the thought patterns and avoidance behaviours driving anxiety, and building the skills to manage them long-term.
How long does residential anxiety treatment take?
Twenty-eight days is the clinical standard at Charterhouse Clinic. That gives enough time to move through the initial adjustment period, begin structured therapy, and leave with a practical plan for managing anxiety beyond the residential stay. Extended stays are available for clients who need more time.
Can anxiety be treated alongside substance use?
Yes, when anxiety and substance use occur together, it’s known as dual diagnosis, and Charterhouse Clinic treats both conditions at the same time. Treating one without the other rarely holds, since each tends to reinforce the other if left unaddressed.
Do I need a referral to start anxiety treatment?
No, you can contact Charterhouse Clinic directly, and the clinical team handles everything from there. There is no need for a GP referral unless you would like us to liaise with your doctor.
