Each type of anxiety disorder is treated differently, and it is therefore important to conduct a thorough evaluation in order to arrive at an accurate diagnosis. In response to the high prevalence of anxiety disorders in the general population, UPC-Warren has developed and introduced the Anxiety Disorders Clinic. We conduct evaluations, make treatment recommendations, and provide cost-effective treatment to individuals who live in southeastern Michigan and elsewhere. Our expertise in diagnosis and evaluation allows us to provide treatment recommendations to therapists who would like their patients to be evaluated for an anxiety disorder. Clients may also have the opportunity to participate in research trials utilizing medications which have been demonstrated as effective treatments for anxiety.
Persons participating in research studies receive free assessment, treatment, and follow-up.
Clients who attend the Anxiety Disorders Clinic are not required to participate in research in order to receive treatment. Group Therapy Clients will be offered the opportunity to participate in group therapy sessions for specific anxiety disorders, such as agoraphobia and social phobia. These groups will be conducted in accordance with standardized objectives and procedures, and will be based on the cognitive-behavior model. Client progress will be measured by objective evaluation, to ensure that the treatment is effective in reducing anxiety. Group therapy offers clients the possibility of receiving treatment at a reduced cost.
