What is the first-line treatment for insomnia?

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) as the first-line treatment — more effective than sleep medication long-term. Valley Vista can coordinate CBT-I referrals while also addressing any underlying psychiatric conditions contributing to your insomnia.

Will I receive a prescription for sleeping pills at my first appointment?

Our approach prioritizes non-habit-forming treatments and addressing root causes (anxiety, depression, ADHD) before prescribing sedative-hypnotics. When medication is appropriate, we prefer evidence-based options with minimal dependency risk.
