As experts in addiction anxiety therapy, our licensed professionals at NorthStar Regional understand that mental health problems are difficult to face.

About 40 million adults will experience an anxiety disorder in any given year, which is commonly treated with anxiety therapy. Everyone gets anxious, worried, and has occasional fears. Anxiety disorders are different. Anxiety disorders refer to a wide range of difficulties characterized by disabling levels of dread, worry, and anxiety that is not brief or passing. In co-occurring disorders, as anxiety increases, the need to escape the discomfort propels the addict to use alcohol or drugs to reduce the tension and stress and cope with the anxiety.

The primary traits of all anxiety disorders include subjective feelings of anxiety, stress, worry, fear, emotional distress, negative thinking, muscle tension, sleep disturbance, feeling out of control, avoidance patterns, and interruptions in daily life. Negative thought patterns continue the cycle of distress, followed by attempts to avoid the anxiety-producing situation or circumstance.
