PTSD Treatment
Post-Traumatic Stress Isn’t Just About the Past—It’s About What You’re Still Carrying Today
If you’re living with PTSD, you know it’s not just about what happened.
It’s about how your nervous system learned to survive.
How you shut down—or explode—without warning.
How you constantly feel unsafe, even when you’re not in danger anymore.
At Metro Recovery Center, we offer trauma-informed PTSD treatment designed for real people who are tired of being told to “move on” from experiences they never asked for.
Whether your trauma comes from abuse, loss, violence, betrayal, or years of emotional neglect—we meet you with respect, not re-traumatization.
What PTSD Can Look Like
Flashbacks, nightmares, or constant intrusive memories
Hypervigilance or startle response in daily life
Emotional numbness, detachment, or feeling “unreal”
Irritability, outbursts, or panic that feels out of your control
Avoiding people, places, or thoughts that remind you of the trauma
Using substances to cope, sleep, or shut your mind off
Feeling broken, unsafe, or like you’ll never be “normal” again
