Understanding Panic Disorder and Addiction
Understanding Panic Disorder
Panic disorder is a type of anxiety disorder characterized by recurring, unexpected panic attacks. These attacks involve intense periods of fear or discomfort, often accompanied by physical symptoms such as racing heartbeats, chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, and an overwhelming sense of doom. While it’s normal to feel anxiety or fear in certain circumstances, panic disorder can make everyday life feel unsafe, leading individuals to avoid places, people, or situations that they fear might trigger another attack.
For those struggling with panic disorder, addiction can quickly entangle itself in the equation. Many turn to drugs or alcohol as a way to self-medicate—to numb the fear or escape the feelings that come with these frequent episodes. Unfortunately, substances may provide temporary relief while deepening the problem, perpetuating unhealthy cycles of dependency and worsening anxiety symptoms. This is referred to as co-occurring disorders and requires professional care.

what to look out for
Risk Factors Contributing to Panic Disorder
Panic disorder is often misunderstood, leaving many individuals to wrestle with their symptoms alone. It’s essential to recognize that this disorder doesn’t stem from weakness or a failure to cope. There are real, identifiable risk factors associated with panic disorder, including:
If others in your family have a history of panic disorder or anxiety disorders, you may be at a heightened risk.
Imbalances in specific areas of the brain can contribute to panic attacks, influencing how your mind and body respond to stress.
Experiencing trauma, witnessing violence, or enduring prolonged stress increases vulnerability to panic disorder.
Drug and alcohol use can cause or worsen panic symptoms, triggering episodes or exacerbating pre-existing conditions.
Individuals who are more prone to intense feelings of uncertainty or fear may be predisposed to developing panic disorder over time.
These factors are not predictive of your future—they simply represent pieces of the puzzle. At Liberty House Recovery, we help individuals examine these risks and how they relate to their personal journeys, enabling us to create treatment strategies rooted in understanding, compassion, and effective care.
Recognizing the Signs and Symptoms of Panic Disorder
One of the most significant challenges with panic disorder is recognizing the symptoms for what they are. Many people mistake signs of the disorder for isolated experiences or even unrelated health concerns. Panic attacks, for instance, can feel strikingly similar to heart attacks or other serious medical emergencies, creating confusion and intense fear.
The symptoms of panic disorder often include:
Sudden bursts of overwhelming fear, often lasting between 5–20 minutes, but leaving emotional distress that lingers.
Sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, accelerated heart rate, nausea, dizziness, and chills.
A constant sense of dread about having another panic attack, which can lead to avoidance of specific places, people, or situations.
This may manifest as a feeling of disconnection from yourself or your surroundings.
Taking extreme measures to avoid scenarios you believe might provoke an attack.
These symptoms are not just uncomfortable—they are disruptive to daily life. They can prevent individuals from connecting with others, maintaining steady employment, or fully engaging in their communities. And when addiction is layered on top of panic disorder, it exacerbates these effects, creating an even heavier burden for individuals to carry alone.
If these signs resonate with your experience or that of a loved one, it may be time to take the next step toward healing.
When It’s Time to Seek Panic Disorder Treatment in Michigan
Deciding to seek professional care for panic disorder is a courageous and life-changing step. It often occurs after attempts to manage symptoms on your own prove unsuccessful or when daily living becomes increasingly complex. Know that seeking help isn’t a sign of failure; it’s a decision to invest in your health and future—a commitment to reclaiming peace and purpose.
Consider reaching out for treatment when:
- Panic attacks interfere with your ability to attend work, school, or social engagements.
- You find yourself avoiding an increasing number of places or situations.
- Anxiety symptoms persist despite efforts to manage them alone.
- You’ve begun relying on substances to cope with the emotional turmoil.
- Panic leads to feelings of hopelessness, depression, or self-isolation.
At Liberty House Recovery Center, we provide specialized treatment for individuals struggling with panic disorder and addiction. We believe in treating the whole person, not just the diagnosis.

Our Approach to Treatment
The Liberty House Approach to Healing
At Liberty House Recovery Center, our panic disorder treatment program integrates clinical expertise with heartfelt care. We use a combination of therapies proven to help ease the debilitating symptoms of panic disorder, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and mindfulness practices. These approaches help individuals confront their triggers, reframe their thinking patterns, and cultivate healthier responses to anxiety. In our peaceful and nurturing environment in Fenton, Michigan, you’ll have access to care that treats not just your symptoms but the underlying causes of your struggles.
Our inpatient program provides a structured, immersive environment for individuals experiencing severe or persistent panic disorder symptoms. This 24/7 care model is ideal for individuals who require stability, medical supervision, and a therapeutic respite from daily stressors. In this setting, clients can fully focus on their recovery while receiving support from experienced professionals in a safe and calming space.
For individuals who require flexibility or have already received higher-level care, our outpatient treatment options provide comprehensive support without the need for full-time residence. Clients can attend therapy sessions and group programs while continuing to live at home or in a supportive housing environment. This level of care enables continued progress while balancing responsibilities such as work, school, or family.
Our approach centers on individualized counseling services, including one-on-one therapy, group sessions, and trauma-informed care. Therapies such as CBT, exposure therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions are used to help clients understand their anxiety, change negative thought patterns, and regain a sense of control. Counseling is available at all levels of care and is tailored to each person’s specific needs and goals.
We know that many individuals face the dual challenge of addiction alongside panic disorder. For those struggling with both, we offer comprehensive dual diagnosis care, ensuring that substance use is addressed with the same care and attention as mental health concerns. By treating both conditions simultaneously, we help clients achieve more stable and sustainable outcomes.
Our location in Fenton offers a serene, distraction-free setting where individuals can focus entirely on their healing. Whether you’re participating in inpatient care or outpatient sessions, our peaceful surroundings and supportive team create the ideal space for transformation and recovery.
