Panic Disorder Treatment

Break Free from Panic and Reclaim Peace of Mind

Living with panic disorder can feel like you’re always waiting for the next wave of fear to strike. Sudden, intense panic attacks disrupt daily routines, relationships, and your ability to feel safe in your own body. At Heartland Recovery Center, we offer specialized treatment for panic disorder in the context of co-occurring substance use—because healing both is essential for lasting relief.

If panic has taken hold of your life, we’re here to help you restore emotional balance and build a calmer, more confident future.

 

"We treat these conditions in conjunction with substance use, not independently."

When Fear Takes Over Without Warning

Understanding Panic Disorder

Panic disorder is a form of anxiety characterized by recurrent, unexpected panic attacks. These episodes can mimic heart attacks or other medical emergencies and often lead individuals to avoid places or activities out of fear of another attack.

Common symptoms include:

  • Rapid heartbeat and chest tightness

  • Shortness of breath or choking sensations

  • Sweating, shaking, or chills

  • Nausea, dizziness, or lightheadedness

  • Fear of losing control, dying, or going crazy

Over time, panic disorder can create a cycle of fear, avoidance, and self-medication with drugs or alcohol—intensifying both conditions. That’s why at Heartland, we treat panic disorder within a dual diagnosis model, targeting both mental health and substance use at the same time.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Panic Disorder Treatment

At Heartland Recovery Center, our outpatient treatment combines evidence-based therapy, holistic support, and a nurturing environment to help you heal the mind, body, and nervous system.

Targeted, Compassionate Care for Long-Term Recovery

Dual Diagnosis Support

We treat panic disorder alongside substance use and co-occurring conditions like depression or generalized anxiety for full-spectrum care.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Our therapists use CBT to help reframe anxious thought patterns and reduce the intensity and frequency of panic attacks.

Exposure-Based Therapy

In safe, guided sessions, clients face feared situations gradually—helping reduce avoidance behaviors and restore confidence.
