Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Treatment

For a person living with obsessive compulsive disorder, treatment may be an afterthought. But, the reality is, with the right OCD treatment, recovery is possible. Some of the signs that may indicate the need for obsessive compulsive disorder treatment include:

  • An overwhelming need for order
  • Ritualistic hand washing, showering, brushing teeth, etc.
  • Unshakable feeling that certain items cannot be washed thoroughly enough to be clean
  • Hoarding or saving useless things
  • Repeating routines for no reason
  • Superstitions
  • Compulsive checking of certain things, such a locked door or repeatedly looking for mistakes in a checkbook
  • Excessive list making

What is Included in OCD Treatment?

When an individual is suffering from OCD, they are assaulted by thoughts (obsessions) that they believe they can control by performing certain repeated (compulsive) actions. At its core, OCD is an anxiety disorder. Obsessive compulsive disorder treatment typically includes cognitive-behavioral therapy, exposure and response prevention (ERP) and medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).

Testimonials

I can't believe I am even writing this letter but my sponsor urged me to. I need to tell you that if it wasn't for the Freedom Rings program I never would have stayed in treatment. The staff and other patients provided me with unconditional love which made it easier for me to come out and my parents to accept my sexuality. Special thanks to Christie.
Bradley H., 15 months clean and sober, Towson, Md.

Well I went into treatment kicking and screaming. I didn't want to be there but behind all this acting out, I was just plain scared. I just couldn't imagine a life without drugs or alcohol. Today I can't imagine going back to it.
Juan Q., Miami, Fl.

I'm not sure I can get across how grateful I am to Priscilla, my therapist. She helped me deal with a past that stole everything from me. Today my relationship with my family is great and I am accomplishing things I never thought possible. Never give up on yourself.
