Our whole-person care, backed by evidence-based approaches, has gained positive recognition from mental health professionals. Among treatment options, we can support those who are struggling with emotional trauma from assault.
At AMFM Mental Health Treatment Centers, you can receive personalized treatment for a range of mental health conditions. This includes depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and some dual-diagnosis conditions. We support those who are interested in breaking the silence on sexual abuse and finding ways to move forward.
Sexual abuse trauma is the emotional, psychological, and physical distress that you can experience after surviving sexual coercion or sexual violence. Sexual abuse can lead to long-term mental health difficulties including fear, shame, guilt, and disorders like Pots-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety.
Survivors recovering after sexual violence can include trauma responses like dissociation, hypervigilance, avoidance, and emotional numbness. There are several factors that contribute to the effects of sexual abuse trauma. As an example, childhood sexual abuse trauma can have different impacts because of a child’s development, dependence on others, and less access to resources. Adults can experience mild to severe distress after sexual abuse, though they often have an understanding of what happened, which can help them access the support they need. Treatment centers offering treatment can promote survivor recovery after sexual violence. This can include a combination of therapy, trauma-informed therapies, and support groups for abuse survivors.
Signs of sexual trauma abuse can vary widely and are based on several factors. You may experience physical, psychological, and emotional symptoms after sexual violence or coercion. Common challenges include depression, emotional numbness, and isolation or social withdrawal. Physical symptoms you may experience include chronic pain, digestive issues, and persistent headaches.
Those who experience mental health distress, such as PTSD from sexual abuse, may find themselves struggling with guilt and shame for what had happened to them. These feelings can be overwhelming, and challenging to cope with. They can also make it difficult to trust others or feel safe. This can lead to unhealthy coping strategies like self-harming behaviors, and substance misuse or abuse.
We accept most major insurance providers and can check your coverage levels for you.
If we are not an appropriate provider for care, we will assist in finding a care provider that can help.
Similarly, the long-term effects of sexual abuse can vary from person to person. The effects that you experience are dependent on the trauma you experience, including your social support and ability to cope with the symptoms you experience. Survivors of sexual abuse can struggle with PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
You may find that you experience intimacy challenges, trust difficulties, and struggle to form healthy relationships. Other long-term challenges include emotion regulation, emotional detachment, and eating disorders. The effects of sexual abuse can affect your personal, social, and professional functioning, which can exacerbate the challenges you experience.
Psychological effects of sexual abuse can impact your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It is not uncommon to struggle with shame, guilt, and feeling responsible for what happened to you. Persistent sadness and hopelessness can also occur. Post-traumatic stress disorder can develop, including flashbacks, hypervigilance, and persistently feeling on edge.
Some of the common psychological symptoms associated with sexual abuse include, and are not limited to:
If you are struggling with psychological effects, or other challenges, since being sexually assaulted, we invite you to speak with an AMFM admission counselor for a free and confidential mental health assessment. Our inpatient therapy clinics can help you learn various coping strategies for sexual abuse, allowing you to begin healing and rebuilding your life.
A sexual abuse trauma recovery program focuses on supporting survivors in their recovery after sexual violence. This can include trauma specialty treatment centers that provide structured support focused on healing from the emotional and psychological impacts of sexual abuse. Treatment within a medical treatment center can include therapy, support groups, and psychiatric care.
Trauma treatment centers can include an assortment of evidence-based and trauma-informed therapies in addition to holistic treatments for comprehensive care. Treatment programs are often available in varying intensities, allowing for personalized care tailored to your symptoms and other needs. Dual-diagnosis treatment centers can provide treatment for those struggling with more than one mental health condition, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD from sexual abuse. Treatment can provide you with the support and guidance needed for rebuilding trust after sexual trauma and learning effective coping strategies.

Sexual abuse therapy clinics can provide varying treatment options. The key difference between the following treatment programs is the intensity, frequency, and duration of programming. This allows you to receive care appropriate for your symptoms and overall level of functioning. Commonly used sexual abuse trauma treatment centers include:
A residential treatment facility can provide you with a safe and supportive live-in treatment experience. Here, you will have professional support around the clock, which is ideal for moderate to severe symptoms that cause significant distress and impairment. Treatment can focus on recovery from sexual abuse and mental health disorders with therapy, group support, psychiatric care, and holistic treatments.
Partial Hospitalization Programming (PHP) is a similar treatment option to residential care, with the key difference being that you’re able to return home for the evenings and weekends. PHPs provide you with a full day of structured care including therapy, group support, wellness programs, skill-building, and psychiatric care for specific mental health symptoms associated with surviving sexual abuse.
Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP) is an outpatient treatment option that falls between a PHP and traditional outpatient programming regarding its intensity. IOPs generally include a minimum of nine treatment hours each week, including group therapy and individual therapy. This may be recommended as a transition treatment option from higher levels of care to traditional outpatient care.
Outpatient treatment centers can provide you with flexible and supportive care, including therapy for sexual abuse survivors. This can include individual therapy, group therapy, and psychiatric care depending on your needs. Outpatient care can provide you with a consistent source of support as you’re healing from sexual trauma.

Inpatient and outpatient wellness centers can incorporate a range of evidence-based and trauma-informed therapies. This allows your clinical team to personalize your treatment based on your current symptoms, level of impairment, and mental health history. Common therapies used in behavioral health centers include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be used to help you recognize and modify negative beliefs and thought patterns that developed as a result of your sexual trauma. CBT can help you develop coping strategies for sexual abuse trauma, improve your relationships, and promote resilience while building your confidence and self-esteem. CBT is commonly used to treat depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is used to reprocess traumatic memories and reduce the psychological distress memories cause. EMDR focuses on a single traumatic memory at a time and can be used more than once for additional memories. This approach is especially effective for those struggling with severe traumatic responses and PTSD.
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a trauma-sensitive form of CBT intended for treating trauma, including sexual abuse. This approach can help you process painful memories, learn to regulate emotions and develop healthy coping strategies to manage the distress and impairment caused by your traumatic experiences.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) can help you learn to regulate emotions, tolerate distress, improve relationships, and use mindfulness skills. This approach is especially helpful for those who struggle with intense emotions, trust difficulties, and self-harm behaviors after trauma. With DBT, you can improve your emotional well-being in your healing journey.
Psychodynamic therapy is an approach that focuses on understanding how your experiences and unconscious patterns affect your current psychological distress. This approach can help you process your trauma, gain a deeper understanding of your behaviors, and work on rebuilding trust after sexual trauma.
Group therapy is commonly used in both inpatient and outpatient treatment centers. With this treatment method, you’ll meet with others who are facing similar mental health challenges. This can be a validating and healing experience, highlighting that you’re not alone in your struggles. Group therapy provides support, encouragement, and new perspectives.
Family therapy can be used to help you and your loved ones improve communication, establish healthy boundaries, and work to rebuild trust. This can be a helpful treatment option when family dynamics have shifted because of sexual abuse. Family therapy focuses on the family as a whole, which can lead to collective healing and developing resiliency.
The focus of somatic therapy is to recognize the connection between your mind and body. Somatic sessions can include breathwork, touch, and movement to increase awareness of and release stored trauma in the body. This can help you process the emotional pain that you’re holding on to physically, which can reduce stress and your overall emotional distress.
