Why New Found Life Stands Out

Evidence-Based Mental Health Care in Southern California

Mental health treatment assists people in developing healthy coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage stressors. Effective treatment significantly improves your mental health and overall wellness. 

Mental health services at New Found Life include: 

  • Psychotherapy 
  • Experiential therapy 
  • 12-Step immersion 
  • Family therapy 
  • Skills development 

Treatment programs offer multiple levels of care and tailored services to ensure you receive the help you need to successfully overcome challenges in recovery. Many people with anxiety may also have mood disorders, self-harm behaviors, or a personality disorder. Treatment options address all issues simultaneously using evidence-based therapies. 

Personalized Treatment Plans for Your Unique Needs

Clinicians conduct comprehensive assessments and use screening tools to ensure an accurate diagnosis. The information gathered during the initial intake interview and following check-ins allows the care team to personalize treatment plans to address the specific triggers, symptoms, side effects, and underlying causes of anxiety. Our treatment center offers multiple levels of care, increasing flexibility and individualization of each program.

A Supportive Environment for Lasting Well-Being

Each level of care provides support, guidance, and tailored treatment for lasting mental and physical wellness. Care plans address the specific needs of each person by determining what approach will give the best outcome. New Found Life also encourages people to participate in 12-Step immersion to prepare them for lasting sobriety if they struggle with co-occurring anxiety and SUD.

Programs and Levels of Care

In-Person Residential Programs for Intensive Support

In-person residential treatment gives families and their loved ones the peace of mind that comes from being cared for by a team of expert healthcare providers. 

Some other programs you may benefit from if you experience clinical anxiety include: 

  • Intensive outpatient program (IOP) for added flexibility 
  • Outpatient therapy for managing daily life
  • Aftercare referrals and support services 

The clinical team collaborates with your social worker, primary care doctor, or other professionals to ensure you have a strong support network available to help you recover and heal. 

Medication Management and Psychiatry Services

Many people with anxiety have co-occurring mental health disorders like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Some mental health issues, including PTSD or anxiety, may require psychiatric support and prescription medications. New Found Life offers medication management and regular check-ins with a psychiatrist.

Proven Therapies for Anxiety Disorders

A few of the evidence-based and holistic therapies used to treat anxiety disorders include: 

  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to challenge unhealthy thought patterns 
  • Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation 
  • Other forms of talk therapy and psychotherapy 
  • Family therapy 
  • Group therapy for peer support

Clinicians at New Found Life use the information gathered during the intake interview to create a detailed care plan that may include multiple types of therapy and other forms of support. 

Specialized Interventions for OCD, Social Anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, and Personality Disorders

Many mental health disorders have anxiety symptoms that may require treatment. New Found Life uses specialized interventions tailored to each condition. For example, people with social anxiety may benefit from a combination of therapies, including experiential, exposure, or talk therapy. Peer support also plays a critical role in helping people heal. 

People with SUD may have more severe anxiety symptoms. Chronic substance abuse reduces stress tolerance. Rehabilitation programs treat anxiety symptoms, mental health disorders, and addiction simultaneously to ensure a strong foundation for a healthy future. 

What to Expect From Treatment

Initial Assessment and Personalized Treatment Plans

The intake interview and initial assessments ensure you receive tailored treatment that meets your unique needs and personal preferences. You will be asked to provide medically relevant information, including: 

  • Any current medications 
  • What substances you take regularly 
  • Contact information for your doctor, social worker, case manager, or family
  • Emergency contact information 
  • Family history of mental health and substance use 
  • A list of any adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)
  • Your goals for treatment 
  • The symptoms you have experienced 
  • List of any clinically diagnosed conditions 

You should bring contact information for anyone involved in your health care, a complete list of your current medications, and your family medical history. The information will provide the clinical team with many relevant details to create a tailored treatment plan. 

Structured Daily Life and Skill-Building

In-person residential care provides you with a secure daily routine and a controlled environment where you can build essential life skills to manage stressors. Anxiety often causes people to avoid necessary responsibilities. New Found Life helps you feel confident in your ability to overcome challenges and manage your anxiety. 

Coping Strategies for Panic Attacks and Anxiety

Some of the classic coping skills you will learn for avoiding panic attacks and managing anxiety include:

  • Grounding techniques
  • Positive self-talk
  • Challenging negative or unrealistic thoughts 
  • Using your support system
  • Setting clear boundaries
  • Communicating effectively 
  • Gradual muscle relaxation 
  • Deep breathing exercises 
  • Meditation and mindfulness techniques 

New Found Life uses evidence-based, holistic wellness approaches to foster a calm environment and teach healthy coping skills. 

Family Support and Involvement

Helping Loved Ones Understand and Support Treatment

Stigma and misinformation may cause some families to misunderstand the causes and effects of mental health disorders. Clinicians educate families on their loved one’s condition and potential treatment outcomes to ensure everyone sets realistic expectations. Family therapy educates families and gives everyone in the family unit space to repair relationships.

Family Sessions and Education

Therapy sessions often include education on what anxiety is and how it can impact your ability to function. Misinformation frequently leads family members to think loved ones with anxiety just need to “get over it” or “try harder.” However, anxiety causes physical changes in the brain and thought patterns that make it difficult to change behaviors. 

Therapy sessions show family members how to support their loved ones in a healthy way. You will also learn how to express yourself and ask for help when you need it during high-stress situations. 

Additional Features for Your Recovery

Relapse Prevention and Long-Term Wellness

Relapse prevention supports long-term wellness by providing life skills education and support for daily functioning. Recovering from an anxiety disorder or dual diagnosis takes time and resources. Relapse prevention uses safety planning and crisis management strategies to ensure you feel confident in your ability to manage your condition independently. 

When to Seek Professional Help

Signs Anxiety Requires Evidence-Based Treatment

Anxiety disorders vary in intensity from mild to severe. Stress levels often directly impact how you feel at any given time. Evidence-based treatment allows you to address symptoms and side effects through skill development.

Healing from the effects of anxiety gives you greater freedom to explore your interests and build a low-stress future. Treatment programs facilitate emotional stabilization, stress reduction, and skill development.

Yes, you can work, take on responsibilities at home, or attend school while in outpatient treatment programs. However, you may get better results if you dedicate the majority of your time to treatment during IOP. Distractions may cause stress or interfere with your ability to implement the skills you learn in treatment.

If you require medications for your anxiety or a co-occurring condition, the clinical team facilitates medication management. Your prescription medications will be kept safe by the care team and provided to you as recommended by the prescriber. Medication management ensures appropriate and effective medication use during in-person treatment.

Yes! We encourage supportive family members to play an active role in the treatment process by engaging in family therapy. Mental health and addiction issues impact all family members. Family therapy allows each family member to address how it has affected them. A trained therapist or counselor guides each session to ensure progress in healing and recovery.

Support from family also plays a vital role in aftercare and ongoing recovery. Your loved ones can help you maintain the positive routines and healthy coping skills you learn in treatment to avoid triggering anxiety attacks or other symptoms. The family unit also has a unique impact on mental health and stress.

New Found Life uses a wide range of evidence-based therapies, including psychotherapy, experiential therapy, family engagement, peer support, group therapy, 12-Step immersion, and trauma therapy. Many people with anxiety disorders have a history of trauma. All clinicians have trauma training to facilitate a trusting professional relationship.

Experts at New Found Life collaborate with clients to develop a tailored treatment plan that addresses any underlying issues or co-occurring conditions impacting anxiety. You will learn how to successfully manage anxiety and overcome challenges in your life without falling back on maladaptive coping techniques.

Some people have mild symptoms, a nurturing home environment, and a strong support system to help them through the recovery process. Those people may benefit from intensive outpatient or outpatient programs. However, people with severe symptoms, co-occurring conditions with a history of relapse, no support system, and a chaotic home environment may do better with the structure of in-person care.

Most people transition through multiple levels of care before completing treatment. Residential treatment provides you with a safe and comfortable space to address the underlying causes of your anxiety before returning to your everyday life.

Many common insurance providers offer complete or partial coverage for addiction and mental health treatment in Long Beach, CA. The intake specialists at New Found Life can help you determine whether specific insurance plans provide the coverage you need. We also offer payment plans if you choose to pay out of pocket.
