A residential treatment center (RTC), sometimes called a rehab, is a live-in health care facility providing therapy for substance abuse, mental illness, or other behavioral problems. Please note that there are very few in-patient residential treatment centers that focus on anxiety and depression. Most centers focus on substance abuse. ADAA has compiled a list of those in-patient treatment centers that focus on anxiety disorders and depression.

ADAA also recommends reaching out to support groups, such as ADAA's free online peer-to-peer support groups and suggest that you engage your peers for recommendations about a specific facility. There are also therapy and medication options that might be appropriate for you/your family to explore prior to seeking out in-patient residential treatment centers.
