Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition that can develop after exposure to a trauma or traumatic event. Historically, this mental health condition was referred to as “shell shock” and “combat fatigue.” PTSD is an individualized condition that can include a variety of symptoms, including flashbacks and nightmares, in varying intensities.
PTSD can occur when you’re exposed to a life-threatening, emotionally, or physically harmful situation. There are three responses that we can have after experiencing trauma. You can experience trauma without developing lasting symptoms that cause clinically significant distress. Another response includes the development of PTSD symptoms that resolve on their own over time. The third option includes the development of persistent and invasive PTSD symptoms that make it challenging to maintain your daily routine. PTSD occurs when these symptoms continue and you’re experiencing clinically significant distress that requires mental health support and treatment.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is caused by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. These are frightening, stressful, and disturbing events that can be life-threatening and dangerous. Traumas are often individualized and are different for each person living with PTSD.
Traumas are quite common, occurring for 60% of women and 50% of men. However, experiencing trauma does not mean that you are guaranteed to develop PTSD. Many experience trauma and don’t experience lingering symptoms and concerns.
Characteristics present before a trauma that can increase your risk of PTSD include a genetic risk for mental health conditions and previous traumas or psychiatric conditions. Risk factors that can occur at the time of a trauma that can increase your risk of developing PTSD include:
PTSD symptoms can be divided into four categories: re-experiencing, avoidance, arousal or reactivity, and cognition and mood. To be diagnosed with PTSD, you must experience at least one re-experiencing symptom, a minimum of three avoidance symptoms, at least two hyperarousal symptoms, and at least two symptoms of negative mood and cognitive changes. These must persist for at least one month.
Re-experiencing symptoms can include flashbacks, nightmares, distressing thoughts, and recurrent memories of the trauma. These can be triggered by thoughts, feelings, words, situations, and objects around you. Some of these triggers can be controlled or avoided, whereas others cannot.
Avoidance symptoms involve going out of your way to avoid places, situations, and things that remind you of your trauma. You may also avoid the thoughts and emotions related to your trauma, often in an attempt to protect yourself from becoming overwhelmed. These symptoms can create a variety of challenges in your life and make it challenging to manage your responsibilities.
Reactivity and arousal symptoms are similar and commonly include hypervigilance and being easily startled. You may also find it difficult to concentrate and pay attention in various settings, have trouble sleeping, struggle with anger, and engage in uncharacteristic risky or reckless behaviors.
Lastly, mood symptoms can appear similar to mood disorders like depression. You may find it difficult to sit with positive emotions like happiness and carry significant guilt and shame related to the trauma. Cognition symptoms can make it challenging to remember details of your trauma.
PTSD symptoms can occur in a range of severities and contribute to various challenges in your life. If any of the symptoms mentioned resonate with you, we want you to know that you’re not alone. AMFM is here to support you. Contact us today to explore psychotherapy techniques and treatment programs that can be tailored to your needs.
PTSD assessments can provide valuable information that guides your search for related treatment providers. The cost of PTSD assessments can range in price based on several factors, including the length of your assessment and the clinical background of the professional you’re working with. If your assessment is incorporated into an individual session, it may cost $100 to $200.
If you partake in an extensive PTSD assessment with a professional who has specialized training in trauma-informed care, you may find that your assessment costs up to $1,500. Keep in mind that these prices do not reflect the use of health insurance, so in most cases, the out-of-pocket cost for a PTSD assessment is much more manageable.
Some mental health treatment providers, like A Mission For Michael (AMFM), provide free and confidential assessments for various mental health conditions. Committed to mental health treatment affordability, our free assessments can evaluate for PTSD and its related symptoms. This allows us to provide you with a personalized referral for treatment.
Our free assessment is intended to help you and others like you receive professional insights into your mental health needs so that you can make an educated treatment decision. We will also help you understand the costs of PTSD treatments and the full scope of your insurance. You do not need to suffer alone or find a treatment provider on your own. We invite you to call A Mission For Michael today to explore our available PTSD treatment options!
Post traumatic stress disorder is an individualized mental health condition with varying manifestations. It can present differently from one individual to the next. The following list includes some of the more common types of PTSD, though this is not an inclusive list:
Acute stress disorder can be a precursor for PTSD for some. Symptoms associated with ASD resemble those of PTSD, but they haven’t been present for four weeks. When someone experiences ASD symptoms for four or more weeks, their diagnosis is then adjusted to PTSD to reflect the severity of their symptoms.
Complex PTSD is the result of long-term trauma, including childhood abuse, domestic violence, war, living in a violent community, and being a victim of sex or human trafficking. A notable difference with C-PTSD is that individuals tend to struggle with emotion regulation, interpersonal skills, and their own identity.
Delayed-onset PTSD is not common, but it can happen. With this condition, individuals begin experiencing PTSD symptoms six months or more after the trauma or traumatic event. Research estimates that 6% of those living with PTSD are living with delayed-onset PTSD.
Comorbid PTSD refers to individuals who are living with co-occurring disorders. This can include anxiety and depressive disorders. Those who are living with comorbid PTSD often require specialized treatment to address the complex nature of these co-occurring mental health symptoms.
Secondary traumatic stress is common among physicians, psychotherapists, emergency workers, first responders, and teachers. Professionals can be exposed to vivid and personal details of another person’s trauma, which can lead to symptoms similar to PTSD. Historically, this has been referred to as compassion fatigue.
Developmental trauma disorder can affect children and adults who have a history of adverse childhood experiences. It involves struggles with emotion regulation and self-esteem. Social settings are particularly challenging for adults who have never received the proper treatment. This condition also includes a range of physical symptoms like headaches and stomachaches.

PTSD treatment programs can be tailored to your needs to ensure you receive comprehensive care. Because PTSD symptoms can range in severity, it is understandable that treatment programs range in intensity. Some of the commonly used PTSD treatment programs include:
PTSD mental health treatment costs often vary because of the individualized care included in treatment. The cost of PTSD therapy sessions can range from $100 to $200. Influential factors include the treatment type, frequency of sessions, duration of care, and access to specialized approaches and therapeutic modalities.
The use of psychotropic medications can also have an impact on PTSD treatment costs. While the cost of medications can be reduced with health insurance, there may still be out-of-pocket expenses in the form of copayments and deductibles.
A 2020 research study indicated that the cost of PTSD treatment can range from $10,960 to $18,753 or more. The cost of residential programming can vary greatly because of differences in the available treatments, access to high-end amenities, living arrangements, and the duration of care.
Additional treatments, such as medication management services and treatment for comorbid PTSD, may incur higher treatment costs. Contact AMFM Mental Health Treatment Center for a personalized estimate of a PTSD therapy residential program.
Similar to other treatment programs, the cost of PTSD partial hospitalization programs can fluctuate due to the variations in program features and available amenities. Private mental health rehab facilities cost, on average, between $350 to $750 per day. This cost can be affected by the location of the treatment facility, the clinical background of the professionals, and more.
To receive a personalized quote, we encourage you to contact A Mission for Michael to explore pricing for PTSD treatment programs. Our admission counselors are available to review your personal needs and provide you with a breakdown of treatment costs.
Treatment fees for PTSD therapy delivered in an intensive outpatient treatment setting vary significantly. While often more affordable than PHPs or inpatient care, expenses will depend on the location, duration of treatment, services provided, the health professional’s qualifications, and insurance coverage.
IOPs tend to be a short-term treatment option, lasting about three months. An added benefit to an IOP is that you’re often able to continue working. This can decrease some of the financial concerns that arise with PTSD therapy costs.
Outpatient treatment facilities offer a range of customizable options, including group therapy, individual therapy, and medication management services. Because of the significant variations, outpatient mental healthcare costs are often determined on a case-by-case basis due to individual needs. Individual PTSD therapy sessions average between $100 to $200.
If you would like a personalized estimate of your PTSD outpatient program costs, we encourage you to contact A Mission For Michael (AMFM). Our admission counselors will assess your current symptoms and goals to determine which treatment programs are a good fit for you.

Insurance companies provide coverage options for PTSD therapy and treatment. This can help you access affordable options for PTSD therapy and treatment, decreasing some of the worries you may experience regarding the cost of treatment. Insurance rates do vary by carrier and individual policy, so it’s important to verify your coverage to understand the details.
A Mission For Michael (AMFM) has simplified this process by offering an insurance verification form that allows us to contact your insurance provider and inquire about the details associated with your insurance policy. With this information, we can then help you access budget-friendly PTSD support options.
To provide you with a personalized quote for PTSD treatment costs with your insurance, complete our insurance verification form. We’ll contact your provider to inquire about the details of your insurance coverage. Insurance companies don’t generally use a “one size fits all” approach, which means that there are variations in coverage that can affect out-of-pocket fees.
Copayments average between $20 and $50 for a single individual therapy session, while generic medications are typically more affordable than and just as effective as name-brand. Another detail to be mindful of is the variations in coverage that can occur between in-network and out-of-network providers. You’re able to get the most out of your insurance policy when you choose an in-network treatment provider.
Several insurance companies cover PTSD treatment. Well-known insurance providers who offer PTSD treatment coverage include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Carelon, ComPsych, Magellan Health, and UnitedHealthcare. These companies have varying rates of coverage for PTSD therapy and other treatments related to psychological health and emotional well-being.
If you have specific questions about PTSD therapy expenses or how to verify your insurance coverage, call AMFM today. Our admission counselors can walk you through the insurance verification process and help you understand how your benefits will affect your out-of-pocket costs for PTSD treatment.
Health insurance companies often provide prescription drug coverage for some of the costs associated with PTSD medications. Medications can be an important part of your treatment by decreasing the frequency and intensity of your symptoms so that you can fully engage in therapy sessions. Medications are generally used with behavioral therapy and other treatment interventions.
Similar to coverage options for therapy and counseling, there are variations in prescription drug coverage plans. This can include limitations or exclusions for name-brand medications, as well as required copayments and deductibles.
Without insurance, rates for PTSD counseling in the United States vary based on the location, intensity, and frequency of treatment. Inpatient treatment programs tend to range from $10,000 to $18,000 but can fluctuate significantly. Outpatient treatment is typically more affordable, but this is contingent on several factors, including the required treatments.

The average cost of counseling for PTSD will vary from one treatment provider to the next. PTSD counseling costs tend to be higher for military personnel and veterans due to the severity of this demographic’s symptoms and the frequent need for long-term treatment. However, civilians account for 82% of the nation’s PTSD expenses, while military personnel and veterans contribute 18%.
In addition, there are notable price differences in different areas of the country, which can have a direct effect on the average cost of PTSD treatment in that area. As an example, rural areas tend to have lower costs for treatment, whereas urban areas are known for having higher costs of living, including mental health treatment expenses.
