Millions of people have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Unfortunately, doctors do not always spot PTSD symptoms in men. Until men can get a diagnosis and realize that they have PTSD, it is impossible to get proper treatment at a PTSD treatment center in North Carolina for this disorder. At Red Oak Recovery, we are committed to helping men between the ages of 18-and 25 who are suffering from PTSD and addiction. We offer a range of treatment options that we can tailor to the needs of each patient. For more information about our PTSD treatment center in North Carolina, please contact Red Oak Recovery today at 866.457.7590 or use our convenient online form.

What Is PTSD?

Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is an anxiety disorder that can develop after a person experiences or witnesses a traumatic event. This event can include:

  • Military combat
  • A natural disaster
  • A car accident
  • Sexual assault
  • Abuse
  • A mugging
  • A terrorist attack

While it is normal to have some anxiety after a traumatic event, people with PTSD continue to feel anxious and have symptoms that interfere with their daily lives long after the event is over. Anyone can get PTSD at any age. However, men are particularly susceptible to PTSD due to the fact that they are less likely to seek help for mental health issues. This is due to the societal expectation that men should be tough and not show emotion. As a result, men are more likely to internalize their feelings and turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms like alcohol or drugs.

What Are PTSD Symptoms in Men?

When men undergo some form of trauma, they may not get treatment for it right away. Often, men do not realize that they have PTSD. They internalize their symptoms and assume that something is wrong with them. Once men understand that their symptoms are from an external experience or trauma, they can get help for it. The symptoms may include:

  • Feeling extremely lonely or isolated
  • Having intense emotions and being unable to regulate them
  • Being hyper-vigilant
  • Experiencing flashbacks
  • Dissociating
  • Constantly bracing for further potential trauma
  • Feeling helpless or ashamed

Being able to realize that there is a problem is hard enough. They may avoid activities and situations that remind them of the traumatic experience. Men are more likely to use alcohol or drugs to cope.

Men may also struggle to get treatment because they want to be perfect. By admitting they have PTSD, they may feel like they are admitting imperfections. While these feelings are unfair and unrealistic, they can still prevent men from getting the help they need. At Red Oak Recovery, we believe that there is no shame in seeking help. If you’re experiencing any of the symptoms of PTSD, please reach out to our team of caring and compassionate clinicians by calling 866.457.7590.

What Kind of Treatment Works for PTSD?

Each person is unique, so the right therapy may vary. Often, men will benefit from some form of cognitive-behavioral therapy. This kind of therapy helps men evaluate the way their thoughts and feelings affect their actions. More importantly, it gives men a chance to determine if their emotions and thoughts are logical. If their feelings do not make rational sense, men have a chance to change them.

Exposure therapy helps people confront problems so that they can overcome their fears and anxieties. Group therapy can help men gain peer support, advice, and feedback from people who are going through a similar experience. In addition, men may also benefit from options like yoga, mindfulness meditation, individual therapy, and family counseling. Other treatments that may support men in their recovery may include:

  • Dialectical behavior therapy
  • Experiential therapy
  • Wilderness therapy
  • Family therapy
  • Nutritional therapy

Our goal is to help the men we treat manage their PTSD. If you’re struggling with this mental health condition, Red Oak Recovery can help.
