Mental Health Rehabilitation
Comprehensive anxiety disorder treatment
Treatment for anxiety
Anxiety affects people in different ways. For some, it appears during stressful moments and passes. For others, anxiety becomes persistent, overwhelming, and difficult to manage, interfering with daily life, relationships, sleep, and overall wellbeing.
Many people who come to Ibiza Calm say they waited longer than they needed to before seeking help, often because they felt their anxiety was something they should be able to manage alone. Over time, however, anxiety can become exhausting and isolating, especially when symptoms begin to affect physical health or emotional stability.
Ibiza Calm offers residential anxiety disorder treatment in northern Ibiza, providing personalised, full-time care in a calm, private setting with small client numbers and a highly experienced multidisciplinary team.
What are anxiety disorders?
Anxiety disorders are mental health conditions characterised by persistent and excessive worry, fear, or nervous system arousal that does not resolve once a stressor has passed. While anxiety is a normal response to perceived threat, anxiety disorders involve symptoms that are disproportionate, long-lasting, and disruptive.
Anxiety disorders affect both the mind and body. Many people experience physical symptoms alongside emotional distress, often without realising anxiety is the underlying cause.
Common anxiety disorders include:
→ Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD)
→ Panic disorder
→ Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
→ Social anxiety disorder
→ Specific phobias
→ Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
Anxiety disorders are common, treatable conditions, but they often require professional support when symptoms persist or escalate.
Signs and symptoms of anxiety disorders
Anxiety disorders can present differently from person to person, but commonly include a combination of physical, emotional, and behavioural symptoms.
If anxiety is affecting your quality of life, you are not alone, and support is available.

Why it’s hard to face anxiety alone
Living with an anxiety disorder can feel like a constant battle against one’s own nervous system. Many people minimise symptoms, push through exhaustion, or adapt their lives around anxiety rather than addressing it directly.
Residential treatment may be particularly appropriate when:
→ Anxiety is persistent or worsening
→ Panic attacks or sleep disturbance are present
→ Daily functioning, work, or relationships are affected
→ Anxiety co-occurs with depression, burnout, trauma, or substance use
A structured, supportive environment allows space to stabilise symptoms and address underlying drivers without the pressures of everyday life.
THE PATH TO RECOVERY STARTS WITH A SMALL FIRST STEP
Treatment for anxiety at Ibiza Calm
Treatment at Ibiza Calm begins with a comprehensive medical and psychological assessment to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate care.
Each client receives an individualised treatment plan, typically recommending a residential stay of several weeks, depending on clinical needs. Care is tailored and adaptive, balancing evidence-based psychological therapy with holistic support.
Our approach includes:
→ Psychiatric assessment and medication management where appropriate
→ Individual therapy focused on anxiety regulation and emotional resilience
→ Group therapy to reduce isolation and build coping skills
→ Nervous system regulation through mindfulness and body-based practices
→ 24/7 medical and clinical oversight
We regularly support individuals with co-occurring anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, and substance-related issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between general anxiety and an anxiety disorder?
Anxiety becomes a disorder when it is persistent, excessive, and begins to interfere with daily life, relationships, work, or sleep. Unlike situational anxiety, it does not resolve once a stressor passes.
Can anxiety disorders cause physical symptoms?
Yes. Anxiety frequently causes physical symptoms such as chest tightness, palpitations, gastrointestinal discomfort, headaches, muscle tension, dizziness, and fatigue. These symptoms are real and can be distressing, even when medical tests appear normal.
What is a panic attack, and are they dangerous?
Panic attacks are sudden episodes of intense fear accompanied by physical symptoms such as rapid heart rate, breathlessness, dizziness, and a sense of impending doom. While extremely uncomfortable, panic attacks themselves are not dangerous. Treatment focuses on reducing frequency and fear of recurrence.
Can anxiety exist without obvious triggers?
Yes. Many people experience anxiety that feels constant or “free-floating,” particularly in generalised anxiety disorder. Anxiety does not always require an identifiable external cause.
Is residential treatment necessary for anxiety disorders?
Residential treatment may be helpful when anxiety is severe, long-standing, linked to panic attacks, or combined with depression, burnout, trauma, or substance use. It provides space, structure, and intensive support away from daily pressures.
How long should I stay in residential treatment for anxiety?
Many clients benefit from a stay of four or more weeks. Your recommended length will depend on symptom severity, clinical history, and your goals.
Can anxiety be treated without medication?
In some cases, yes. Psychological therapies, nervous system regulation, and lifestyle interventions can be effective. For others, medication may play a supportive role. Treatment decisions are made collaboratively and individually.
Will medication be forced during treatment?
No. Any medication recommendations are discussed carefully with the client. Decisions are based on clinical need, personal preference, and safety, with ongoing psychiatric oversight.
Can anxiety be linked to trauma or burnout?
Yes. Anxiety often develops in response to prolonged stress, trauma, or emotional overload. Treatment addresses both current symptoms and underlying contributors.
Does anxiety ever fully go away?
Many people experience significant and lasting improvement with treatment. While anxiety may recur during times of stress, learning how to manage it effectively reduces its impact and intensity.
Can you help if I also struggle with alcohol or drugs?
Yes. We regularly support clients with co-occurring substance use alongside anxiety.
What if I’ve tried therapy or medication before and it didn’t help?
Many clients come to Ibiza Calm after previous treatments that brought limited relief. Residential care allows for deeper assessment, integrated therapies, and closer psychiatric oversight, which can make a significant difference.
Will I have to talk in group therapy if I don’t feel ready?
Group participation is guided and supported. Clients are never pressured to share beyond what feels safe, and some programmes place greater emphasis on individual therapy.
What happens during the admissions process?
After a confidential conversation, we gather any relevant medical and psychological information. On arrival, you receive a full psychiatric and medical assessment to shape your personalised treatment plan.
How private is the treatment for anxiety?
Our estate is secluded and fully private, with a limited number of clients to ensure confidentiality and space.
Can I work remotely while in treatment?
We encourage clients to prioritise their recovery while at Ibiza Calm. In certain programmes, remote work may be possible.
Will I be able to contact my family?
Yes. Family contact is arranged in a way that supports recovery and emotional stability. Family therapy can also be included when appropriate. In addition, family members are welcome to join a weekly online family support group from the beginning of treatment.
What therapies will I receive?
Your programme is tailored, but typically includes individual therapy, group therapy, medical care, and holistic modalities.
Do you accept insurance?
We accept some international insurances, such as Cigma International and Bupa Global. We can also provide documentation for clients seeking reimbursement, though coverage is subject to individual policies.
Can I receive treatment for anxiety if I also take prescription medication?
Yes. Our medical team reviews all current medications and adjusts plans safely.
What happens after I leave Ibiza Calm?
Before discharge, you will be introduced to the aftercare support group, and you will receive a detailed aftercare plan tailored to your needs. This may include ongoing therapy, psychiatric support, community-based groups, or outpatient treatment. We also coordinate with trusted professionals to ensure continuity of care once you return home.

Outcomes and aftercare
Effective treatment for anxiety disorders is not about eliminating all anxiety, but about restoring balance, confidence, and the ability to manage stress effectively.
Before discharge, each client receives a personalised aftercare plan, including therapy referrals and ongoing support recommendations to maintain progress beyond residential treatment.
