OCD Treatment Center

Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) impacts the lives of millions of people. Over 50% of people with the condition experience severe and long-term OCD. Obsessive compulsive disorder can be debilitating. If you suffer from OCD thought patterns and repetitive behavior, you may realize that your actions or thoughts are irrational, but you also may feel hopeless about stopping them.

Unfortunately, OCD often occurs in people with substance use or other mental health disorders. When OCD is diagnosed with another condition, it is called a co-occurring disorder. It is important to get treatment for a co-occurring obsessive compulsive disorder. Inpatient and residential mental health treatment programs at The Ranch are designed to help you with the management of co-occurring OCD symptoms. Our mental health professionals provide effective treatments for people struggling with addiction, mental health, and co-occurring OCD.

Getting the Right Diagnosis

The first step to healing for people with co-occurring OCD is to understand the scope of the problem. We do a medical assessment as well as a full psychological assessment so that we can identify all the issues you are facing. Research shows that around one-quarter of people treated for OCD also have a substance use disorder. This is something we will address during treatment. Many people with OCD have other emotional issues. Common co-occurring conditions include:

• Other anxiety disorders, such as social anxiety disorder
• Depression
• Personality disorders
• Body dysmorphic disorder
• Alcohol or drug addiction
• Other forms of mental illness

Why Inpatient Treatment Helps

Inpatient treatment for co-occurring obsessive compulsive disorders offers space away from triggers that fuel OCD and substance use. You’ll benefit from 24/7 support. We’ll help you address issues that drive destructive behaviors and thoughts. Our mental health professionals can also ensure that you’re getting the full benefit of the latest research-backed addiction and psychiatric medications.

Facing Past Trauma

No one knows the exact causes of obsessive compulsive disorder. It is believed early trauma may play a role. This is why it’s important to explore childhood trauma within the safe, healing space we offer at The Ranch. Research has shown that people sometimes use alcohol and drugs to quell the symptoms of OCD. We support you in acknowledging ways you may have self-medicated yourself to numb the pain and offer dual diagnosis treatment that targets OCD symptoms as well as any drug or alcohol addiction.

Therapies for Co-Occurring OCD

Co-occurring OCD therapy with our mental health professionals may include some of the following:

• Individual therapy and counseling
• Group therapy sessions
• Cognitive-behavioral therapy (talk therapy) to change damaging thought patterns and learn healthy coping skills
• EMDR therapy to treat trauma
• Exposure Response Prevention (ERP therapy)
• Family counseling and therapy programs

Our medical professionals may prescribe medication such as paroxetine (Paxil), clomipramine (Anafranil), fluoxetine (Prozac), fluvoxamine (Luvox), sertraline (Zoloft) or another antidepressant. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is further complicated when substance abuse compounds the problem. At The Ranch, we treat co-occurring alcohol and drug abuse.
