Understanding Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by recurring, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). These compulsions are performed in an attempt to relieve distress caused by the obsessions, often disrupting daily life. OCD affects people of all ages, making specialized treatment critical for long-term recovery and well-being.

What is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)?

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by intrusive, unwanted thoughts, images, or urges (obsessions) that cause distress or anxiety. To relieve this anxiety, individuals often engage in repetitive behaviors or rituals (compulsions). While many people have occasional worrisome thoughts or habits, OCD takes these thoughts and behaviors to an extreme, often interfering with daily life, relationships, and personal well-being.

OCD exists on a spectrum, with some individuals experiencing mild symptoms while others struggle with debilitating obsessions and compulsions. Without proper treatment, these symptoms can worsen over time, leading to increased stress, depression, or difficulties in personal and professional life. However, with the right therapeutic interventions, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) people with OCD can learn to manage their symptoms and lead fulfilling lives.

Symptoms of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

OCD presents in various ways, with individuals experiencing different types of obsessions and compulsions. Common symptoms include:

  • Fear of contamination or germs
  • Unwanted, taboo thoughts (aggressive, sexual, or religious)
  • Extreme need for symmetry or exactness
  • Excessive concern with order, neatness, or rules

The symptoms associated compulsions include:

  • Repeated handwashing or cleaning
  • Checking locks, appliances, or safety measures excessively
  • Counting rituals or repeating actions multiple times
  • Arranging objects until they feel "just right"

If left untreated, OCD can interfere with relationships, work, and overall quality of life. The good news is that treatment is available and effective.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

This type of programming provides a high level of structure and support in a nurturing environment. Individuals in our PHP go to treatment five days a week for approximately four hours a day. They then return to their home or a sober living facility.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Often used as a step-down from a PHP, this level of care allows individuals to maintain responsibilities while attending treatment. Participants attend therapy sessions three to five days a week for a few hours at a time.

Additionally, Thoroughbred Wellness and Recovery offers an extensive equine-assisted therapy program. While participation is optional, equine-assisted therapy provides clients with the opportunity to connect with and care for horses. This calming, holistic approach can be particularly beneficial for individuals with OCD, as it promotes emotional regulation, builds trust, fosters self-awareness, enhances social skills, and encourages letting go of perfectionism and rigid thought patterns. Engaging with horses in this way can help clients develop healthier coping mechanisms, improving their overall well-being.

How Do We Treat OCD?

We recognize that OCD and addiction often co-occur, as the two conditions aggravate one another. Through professional mental health and addiction treatment, individuals can achieve long-term recovery from chemical dependency and learn to manage the symptoms of co-occurring OCD. Thoroughbred Wellness and Recovery offers a supportive environment where individuals can work closely with experienced professionals to address the disruption caused by Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. While in treatment, clients will experience both therapies and holistic modalities. Each personalized treatment plan will involve a combination of the following:
