What Is PTSD?
Post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. It affects mood, concentration, and overall quality of life.
Common symptoms include:
- Intrusions like flashbacks, nightmares, or repeated unwanted trauma memories
- Avoidance of reminders that bring distress or recall the traumatic event
- Negative mood changes, including guilt, numbness, sadness, or social withdrawal
- Heightened arousal, such as irritability, poor sleep, vigilance, or easy startle
Effective care is gradual and skills-based. At Brook, you’ll work with licensed professionals who use therapies designed to help you process trauma safely and steadily.

PTSD responds well to structured, evidence-based care. At Brook Addiction Treatment, we use:
- Cognitive processing therapy (CPT)
- Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)
