Standard Sleep and PTSD Treatments

Sleep Treatments

At our center, we do not treat your sleep problems with exposure therapy or talk therapy, and we do not focus on medication as a first line of treatment. Our treatments are evidence-based from the field of sleep medicine.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

A hands-on practical approach to understanding and solving insomnia

Imagery Rehearsal Therapy

An innovative and non-threatening technique to reduce insomnia and eliminate nightmares

Positive Airway Pressure

A physiological therapy to open up the human airway while you sleep to maximize the flow of air and improve oxygen levels

Medications

Our main focus is to teach our patients how to sleep without medications

In some instances, patients with leg movement disorders require prescription medications; however, some patients may respond to vitamin and mineral supplements

PTSD Treatments*

The most common, evidence-based PTSD treatments by therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists include:

• Exposure Therapy
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Group Therapy
• Individual Therapy
• Medications: Some drugs may interfere with REM sleep

*Notice how these PTSD treatments may not target sleep problems.
