Villa Healing Center runs a residential anxiety program for adults 18 and older in Woodland Hills, staffed 24 hours a day. The residence gives adults whose anxiety no longer responds to weekly therapy a structured setting with onsite clinical staff and daily treatment. Behavioral health staff are present around the clock, including licensed therapists, a psychiatric medication prescriber, registered nurses, and behavioral health technicians.
The program treats the four anxiety presentations most common in adults. Generalized anxiety disorder shows up as persistent worry across work, health, and relationships, often with muscle tension and disrupted sleep. Panic disorder brings recurrent panic attacks and ongoing worry about the next one. Social anxiety disorder centers on intense fear of social judgment and avoidance. Trauma-related anxiety, including PTSD, carries hyperarousal, intrusive memories, and avoidance following a traumatic event.
Residential anxiety treatment is the right level when outpatient therapy has not resolved symptoms. That point usually arrives when daily functioning breaks down, when panic or avoidance keeps someone from work or from leaving the house, or when anxiety runs alongside depression, trauma, or self-harm urges that need 24-hour clinical contact. Level-of-care decisions follow the LOCUS framework from the American Association of Community Psychiatrists, the adult mental-health assessment standard, so placement is a clinical judgment. Adults who are stable at home step into PHP, IOP, or continued care instead, decided after assessment.
A week in residential anxiety treatment combines individual therapy, group therapy, family sessions, and integrative wellness programming. Treatment opens with a clinical assessment by a licensed therapist shortly after admission, establishing the specific anxiety disorder, its severity, any co-occurring conditions, and the correct level of care. Your treatment team builds a plan from there and reviews it weekly as the clinical picture changes. Alongside individual sessions, the schedule includes group work, scheduled family therapy, and mindfulness, yoga, art therapy with credentialed art therapists, and movement therapy. Suicidal ideation and self-harm risk are screened at admission using the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale, with heightened monitoring and safety planning maintained as clinically indicated.
Villa Healing Center treats anxiety with cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure and response prevention, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, and psychiatric medication management. CBT is the first-line psychotherapy for anxiety and drives much of the daily work, pairing cognitive restructuring with structured exposure across individual and group sessions. Exposure and response prevention targets panic disorder, social anxiety, and phobia features through gradual, clinically supervised exposure. DBT is integrated for adults whose anxiety comes with emotional dysregulation or self-harm urges, teaching distress tolerance and emotional regulation. EMDR, delivered by EMDRIA-certified clinicians, addresses trauma-related anxiety and PTSD, which is also why the program is reached through trauma counseling and EMDR therapy searches across Woodland Hills. Medication management, handled by a psychiatric prescriber, commonly uses SSRIs such as sertraline, escitalopram, and fluoxetine, and SNRIs such as venlafaxine and duloxetine, with benzodiazepines reserved for cautious short-term use.
Our residential program treats anxiety together with the conditions that accompany it, including major depression, PTSD, ADHD, stress-related presentations, suicidal ideation, and self-harm, when mental health is the primary condition. Treating these together in one setting produces better outcomes than treating each in isolation, which is why the same program adults reach for depression treatment, PTSD treatment, and stress treatment in Woodland Hills is the one treating their anxiety. Villa Healing Center does not provide primary substance use disorder treatment. For adults whose situation falls outside our scope, the SAMHSA locator at findtreatment.gov lists state-licensed programs nationwide.
Villa Healing Center accepts most major commercial insurance for anxiety treatment, and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act requires plans that cover mental health to do so at parity with medical benefits. Most commercial plans cover residential anxiety treatment with prior authorization, with continued-stay reviews based on medical necessity under the LOCUS framework. Out-of-pocket cost depends on your plan deductible and coinsurance. If your plan is out-of-network, we work through out-of-network reimbursement, single-case agreements, and self-pay options. Admission usually completes within a short window of finished insurance verification and clinical assessment, and same-day admission is possible in some situations. Call (888) 669-0661 to start.
