Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Treatment

Release the Cycle of Obsessions and Compulsions
"We treat these conditions in conjunction with substance use, not independently."

When Anxiety Becomes a Cycle

Understanding OCD and Its Impact

OCD is an anxiety-related condition defined by two interwoven components:

  • Obsessions → Unwanted, distressing thoughts, fears, or mental images

  • Compulsions → Rituals or repetitive behaviors like checking, cleaning, or counting that temporarily reduce distress

While compulsions may provide brief relief, they often become time-consuming and disruptive, leaving individuals feeling trapped and powerless.

Factors contributing to OCD may include:

  • Genetics: Family history can increase risk

  • Neurochemistry: Imbalances in serotonin and heightened brain activity are linked to OCD

  • Life Events: Trauma, stress, or early adversity can trigger or worsen symptoms

When substance use is present, alcohol or drugs may be used to dull anxiety or obsessive thoughts, creating a cycle that reinforces both conditions. That’s why integrated outpatient treatment is essential for lasting recovery.
