Traumatic experiences can leave a deep imprint, regardless of when or how they occur. Initially, the response to trauma may be natural and short-term. However, in some cases, the impact of these events can extend far beyond the immediate aftermath, developing into PTSD. This disorder can disrupt daily life and linger over time, making professional treatment essential.
Rockland Recovery provides specialized PTSD treatment. We invite you to explore how our targeted approaches can help manage and heal from the effects of traumatic experiences, restoring balance and improving overall well-being.

What is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)?
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) describes post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a frightening, shocking, or dangerous event. Often, these situations involve a threat to life or personal safety.
PTSD can develop after various traumatic events, such as severe injuries, accidents, physical or sexual assaults, the sudden loss of a loved one, or military combat, though these examples do not cover all possible causes.
It is crucial to recognize that PTSD is a legitimate mental health issue, not a case of someone dwelling on the past, overreacting, or exaggerating their feelings. Individuals suffering from PTSD need and deserve compassion, understanding, and access to effective treatment programs tailored to help them recover.
Recognizing the Signs of PTSD
Identifying the signs of post-traumatic stress is a critical first step towards getting help. Diagnosing PTSD, however, is not always straightforward as the disorder can manifest in a variety of emotional, behavioral, and physical symptoms.
At Rockland Recovery, we understand the diverse ways in which PTSD can affect individuals. We start with a comprehensive assessment to ensure that each person receives the personalized treatment they need and deserve.
Some common signs of PTSD include:
- Flashbacks of the event
- Frightening or intrusive thoughts
- Continual fear that there will be a repeat event
- Sleep disturbances, nightmares
- Extreme reactions
- Anger
- Feelings of guilt or sadness
- Irritability
- Hyper-vigilance, especially about triggering events
- Avoidance of people, places, or activities that trigger memories of the traumatic event
- Aches and pains, headaches
- Digestive issues
- Changes in appetite
- Issues with memory and concentration
- Feelings of isolation
