Types of Anxiety Disorders We Treat

Mind-U's anxiety disorder treatment covers generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia, social phobia, and specific phobias — each treated as part of an individualized psychiatric plan, not a one-size-fits-all anxiety protocol.

Treated Alongside Depression, Not Separately

Can anxiety and depression be treated at the same time? Yes — anxiety and depression frequently occur together, and Mind-U's psychiatric team treats both conditions as part of the same individualized care plan.

Is Residential Treatment Necessary for Severe Anxiety?

Residential care becomes the right level of support when anxiety is severe enough to significantly disrupt daily life — work, relationships, basic routines — and when it hasn't responded adequately to outpatient treatment. See how levels of care are determined →

How Long Does Treatment Take?

Program length depends on severity; Mind-U offers a 35-day intensive, a 90-day comprehensive, and extended 6-month or 1-year options depending on the individual's needs.

Cost and Insurance

Mind-U is a private-pay program; many PPO plans offer out-of-network reimbursement, and our admissions team can help you understand what that looks like for your plan. See pricing and financing →
