OCD Treatment at Oak Hills Behavioral Health Solutions

Finding Freedom from Intrusive Thoughts and Compulsive Behaviors

At Oak Hills Behavioral Health Solutions, we understand that Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can be a debilitating condition that affects every aspect of life. Individuals with OCD experience persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) that drive them to engage in repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) in an attempt to alleviate anxiety. Our dedicated team is here to provide compassionate, evidence-based treatment that empowers you to regain control and improve your quality of life.

What is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)?

OCD is a chronic mental health condition characterized by two main components:

Obsessions: Intrusive and distressing thoughts, images, or urges that repeatedly enter a person’s mind. These may involve fears of contamination, harm, or the need for symmetry and order.

Compulsions: Repetitive behaviors or mental rituals performed in response to obsessions. Common compulsions include excessive handwashing, counting, checking, or organizing items in a specific way.

People with OCD often recognize that their obsessions and compulsions are irrational, yet they feel unable to stop the cycle, leading to significant distress and impairment in daily functioning.

Signs and Symptoms of OCD

The symptoms of OCD can vary widely but often include:

Recurrent, intrusive thoughts that cause anxiety or distress

Compulsive behaviors aimed at reducing anxiety or preventing perceived harm

Avoidance of situations that trigger obsessions or compulsions

Significant time spent on compulsions, impacting daily life

(e.g., excessive time spent washing hands or checking locks)

Our Comprehensive Approach to Treatment

At Oak Hills, we take a holistic and individualized approach to treating OCD. Our evidence-based therapies are designed to address both the psychological and emotional aspects of the disorder. Our services include:

Comprehensive Assessment: Our team conducts a thorough evaluation to understand your specific symptoms, history, and how OCD impacts your daily life. This assessment informs your personalized treatment plan.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT, particularly Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), is a cornerstone of OCD treatment. This approach helps you confront your fears gradually while reducing the compulsive behaviors associated with them.

Medication Management: In some cases, medication may be prescribed to help manage symptoms. Our psychiatric team will work closely with you to determine the most effective medications with minimal side effects.

Supportive Therapy: Individual therapy sessions provide a safe space to explore feelings, develop coping strategies, and build resilience. Our therapists are trained in various therapeutic techniques tailored to your unique needs.

Family Involvement: We believe in the importance of family support in the recovery process. Family therapy can improve communication, reduce stigma, and enhance understanding of OCD among loved ones.
