Coping with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Take medication as directed. Even if you're feeling well, resist any temptation to skip your medications. If you stop, OCD symptoms are likely to return.
Join support groups and other healthy outlets! Support groups for people with OCD can help you reach out to others facing similar challenge.
Learn relaxation & stress management skills. Try stress management techniques such as meditation, muscle relaxation, deep breathing, yoga tai chi or qi gong.
OCD Treatment
All of our OCD treatments are evidence-based and backed by scientific research. An individualized, integrated plan created by your personal case manager may include:
Medication
The goal of medication is to effectively control symptoms of OCD using the right combination of medication. Our psychiatrists are industry-leading pharmacologists who have effectively treated thousands of patients using commonly used as well as combinations of medications. They have deep understanding of interactions, side effects, and risks of each combination.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy using CBT focused approaches hinges on two key methods scientifically proven to transform a person's behavior and thoughts. The first is called exposure and response prevention (ERP), and the second is cognitive therapy. Our therapists are specially trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy, providing expert care for those dealing with OCD.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
This is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. The magnetic stimulation is generated using a FDA-approved device that treats OCD. An electromagnetic coil is placed against the scalp near the forehead to deliver magnetic pulse to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. When traditional treatments have not been effective, this is a good option.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT is a therapeutic approach rooted in cognitive behavior therapy principles. It emphasizes mindfulness, acceptance, validation, and trust-building. It stands apart from other therapies by emphasizing the concept of acceptance, where thoughts are neither deemed good nor bad.
Based on your specific needs and diagnosis, we offer comprehensive and effective programs to help you find relief now and into the future. They include a continuum of care from outpatient to intensive patient, partial hospitalization programming to supportive housing.
