What Is PTSD?
PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. While it’s natural to feel afraid or shaken after something distressing, those with PTSD experience ongoing symptoms that disrupt their daily life. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, around 6% of U.S. adults will experience PTSD at some point in their lives.
Common Symptoms of PTSD
These symptoms can vary widely from person to person and may appear shortly after the trauma or months—even years—later. Left untreated, PTSD can lead to serious consequences like depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and suicidal thoughts. Symptoms include:
Intrusive memories or flashbacks
Nightmares and sleep disturbances
Avoidance of reminders of the trauma
Emotional numbness or detachment
Heightened reactivity (e.g., irritability, being easily startled)
Trouble concentrating or feeling on edge
What Causes PTSD?
Not everyone who experiences trauma will develop PTSD, but certain factors can increase your risk. Common causes of PTSD include:
- Military combat
- Physical or sexual assault
- Serious accidents or injuries
- Natural disasters
- Childhood abuse or neglect
- Witnessing violence or death
Repeated exposure to trauma or a lack of support after a traumatic event can increase the likelihood of developing PTSD. At Rebuilt Treatment and Recovery, we recognize that your trauma is valid—no matter the circumstances—and we’re here to meet you with compassion and clinical expertise.
Our Approach to PTSD Inpatient Treatment in Washington
At Rebuilt Treatment and Recovery, we offer a comprehensive inpatient treatment program tailored specifically for individuals living with PTSD. Our goal is to help you not only manage your symptoms but also begin a deeper process of healing that addresses the root of your trauma. Our PTSD inpatient treatment includes a variety of evidence-based therapies, personalized to fit your unique history and needs:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the most researched and effective treatments for PTSD. At Rebuilt Treatment and Recovery, we use CBT to help clients identify and challenge the negative thought patterns that often result from trauma—like guilt, shame, or a constant sense of danger. These thoughts don’t just live in your mind; they shape how you see the world and respond to it. Through structured sessions, clients learn practical skills to reframe harmful beliefs, reduce avoidance behaviors, and regain a sense of control over their lives. CBT helps anchor recovery in tangible, manageable steps, which can be especially comforting for those who feel overwhelmed by the weight of their trauma.
EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based therapy specifically designed to help people process traumatic memories without having to talk about the experience in detail. During EMDR sessions, clients are guided to recall distressing events while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as side-to-side eye movements or tapping. This process helps the brain “unstick” traumatic memories and integrate them in a healthier way, reducing their emotional charge. Many individuals report that EMDR helps them finally move past memories that once felt all-consuming. At Rebuilt, EMDR is offered in a safe, supportive setting by licensed clinicians trained in trauma-informed care.
For individuals who struggle with intense emotions, suicidal thoughts, or a history of self-harm—common challenges among those with PTSD—Dialectical Behavior Therapy can be life-changing. DBT blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness principles to help clients regulate emotions, tolerate distress, and build healthier relationships. At Rebuilt, we offer DBT skills training in both individual and group settings. Clients learn how to stay grounded during emotional storms, respond instead of react, and create a life that feels more balanced and worth living. DBT is especially effective for those whose trauma has led to chronic feelings of emptiness, impulsivity, or self-criticism.
Healing from trauma can feel incredibly isolating, especially if you believe no one else could possibly understand what you’ve been through. Group Therapy at Rebuilt creates a sense of shared experience and belonging that’s crucial for recovery. In these therapist-led sessions, clients meet others who are also working through PTSD and learn that they’re not alone. Group therapy offers a space to give and receive support, practice new communication skills, and experience trust in a safe environment. Over time, this helps rebuild confidence in social connection and reduces feelings of shame or alienation. Many clients find that group therapy becomes one of the most affirming parts of their recovery journey.
PTSD and Co-Occurring Conditions
Many individuals living with PTSD also struggle with substance use or other mental health disorders. This is known as a dual diagnosis. According to SAMHSA, nearly half of those with a mental health disorder will also experience a substance use disorder in their lifetime.
People may turn to drugs or alcohol as a way to self-medicate their PTSD symptoms, leading to a dangerous cycle of dependency and avoidance. That’s why our PTSD inpatient treatment in Washington State includes integrated dual diagnosis treatment—so we can address both conditions at the same time, improving long-term outcomes.
By combining trauma-focused therapy with addiction recovery strategies, we help clients achieve not just sobriety, but holistic emotional wellness.
