Depression Treatment Centers - Treatment for Depression

If you are experiencing feelings of hopelessness, fatigue, lack of interest in activities, a disruption in sleep patterns, difficulty making a decision, altered appetite, a sense of guilt, or the desire to harm yourself or commit suicide, you may have depression. Depression is a medical disorder of the brain that is sometimes not recognized if a person does not "feel depressed." People often believe they should be able to handle things themselves, if they could "just get their act together." However, if you exhibit signs of depression, we encourage you to seek help; your depression symptoms can be resolved with appropriate treatment.

A residential treatment center like Sierra Tucson has expertise in treating all types of depression. We address the issue with virtually every patient who comes into treatment because most are found to be depressed at some level. Depression often coexists with other diagnoses, such as alcoholism, drug abuse, eating disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma, sexual compulsivity, or chronic pain. One of the benefits of attending Sierra Tucson's depression treatment center is that we have the experts and programs necessary to treat both your depression and any coexisting disorders at the same time.

Sierra Tucson's depression treatment center recognizes that treatment for depression does not equate to medications alone. In addition to any necessary medications, we provide a number of modalities for depression treatment, including individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training. Integrative Therapies such as massage therapy, acupuncture, Somatic Experiencing®, yoga, and Zero Balancing are also used to enhance depression treatment. In most cases, a combination of several therapeutic interventions provides the most comprehensive, effective treatment for depression.

When you come to our depression treatment center, you will be assessed to determine your individual treatment needs so that you are provided with a personalized treatment plan that will work best for you. Patients learn to understand the underlying causes of their depression and recognize how to avoid subsequent addictions and dependencies during their treatment experience. Sierra Tucson takes a very holistic approach in applying whatever treatment is necessary to help each person treat depression.
