Acute Stress Disorder Treatment in Alberta

Acute Stress Disorder (ASD) can occur in the days and weeks following a traumatic experience, often appearing as overwhelming anxiety, emotional numbing, flashbacks, or detachment. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), up to 33% of individuals exposed to trauma, such as accidents, violence, or disasters, may develop ASD within the first month. Without timely intervention, as many as half of those individuals may later develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). (Source: American Psychiatric Association, DSM-5)

At Brick House Recovery Centre, we recognize how early trauma responses can also lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms, including substance use. That’s why our Acute Stress Disorder Treatment in Alberta is designed to address both the emotional impacts of trauma and the behaviours that can arise alongside it. With treatment available in Barrhead, Calgary, Edmonton, and virtually throughout the province, we meet you where you are at both physically and emotionally.
