Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health disorder characterized by excessive thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Obsessions may include unreasonable thoughts and fears, while compulsions refer to repetitive behaviors performed to ease the anxiety caused by obsessions. OCD often centers on themes such as cleanliness and fear of germs or the need to reorganize things in a certain manner. If you’ve been diagnosed with this disorder, our OCD residential treatment can help you understand your symptoms and learn how to manage them so you can have a fulfilling and happy life.

This program is designed for individuals with OCD or related disorders who may find that:

Their severity level is not suited for outpatient treatment.
Multiple treatments have been tried without symptom improvement.
They have a co-occurring mental health condition, such as a mood disorder, personality disorder, or substance use disorder.
They are seeking a consistent treatment environment away from home.

By addressing these specific needs, our program aims to provide a comprehensive and supportive environment that empowers you to regain control and thrive.

Facts About OCD

The acronym OCD stands for obsessive-compulsive disorder, with 2.3% of American adults experiencing it at some point in their lifetime. Symptoms typically begin when a person is a teenager or young adult and can range in severity.

OCD is not the kind of condition that can be isolated or diagnosed with a physical exam. Instead, a patient must be diagnosed by a licensed mental health professional like a psychologist or psychiatrist. No matter how it manifests, a treatment plan for OCD must encompass all the aspects of the condition that the person struggles with, so they have the best chance at healing possible.

OCD Subtypes

Another fact that may surprise people is that obsessive-compulsive disorder does not affect people in just one way. A person’s OCD rituals can affect them in many ways. For one person, they may feel the need to check they locked the door 3 times out of fear. Another person might be unable to hold a loved one’s hand without running to wash it.

Other subtypes of OCD include:

Relationship OCD – A person with this condition will struggle with obsessive and compulsive thoughts regarding a romantic relationship. The individual may experience intense doubts about their partnership, such as if their partner even likes them, or they might excessively worry about how to be a better partner.
False Memory OCD – These individuals will struggle with consistent doubting thoughts about themselves and their life. This person may worry about something they have done in the past and wonder if this memory occurred. For instance, they may worry they stole something from a store without realizing it and obsess about it their entire day.
Checking OCD – This is one of the most well-known subtypes and is categorized by a need to check something compulsively. This individual may feel that they will be the reason something bad happens if they are not continually checking to keep it from happening.
Counting OCD – There are people who struggle so severely that they will be stuck in a position until they count to a certain, personally specified number. Internal counting can begin to manifest as physical tapping or even lead the person to complete a compulsive action the specific number of times they have set as an absolute.

OCD Symptom Checklist: Does This Sound Like You?

While OCD usually includes both obsessions and compulsions, it’s also possible for people to experience just one or the other. You may or may not realize that your obsessions and compulsions are excessive or unreasonable, but they may still take up a great deal of time and interfere severely with your day-to-day routine and responsibilities.

Receiving professional OCD residential treatment can reduce the severity and frequency at which symptoms occur and help individuals regain control over their lifestyles. If you suspect that you or a loved one has OCD, below are some common signs and symptoms to look out for:

Common obsessions in OCD:

Fear of being contaminated by touching things others have touched, such as doorknobs in public places
Doubts about locking your door or turning the stove off
Intense stress when things aren’t organized or symmetrical
Images of driving your car into a crowd of people or injuring someone
Thoughts about shouting obscenities or acting inappropriately in public
Unpleasant sexual thoughts
Unpleasant thoughts about harming yourself
Avoidance of things that can trigger certain thoughts, such as not shaking hands with others or not watching certain shows or movies

Common compulsions in OCD:

Washing your hands until your skin is raw
Repeatedly counting the times you’ve turned the light switch on and off
Checking the stove repeatedly to make sure it’s off
Locking your car repeatedly to make sure it’s locked
Counting in certain patterns
Arranging your canned goods or things in the refrigerator to face a certain way
Silently repeating a prayer, word, or phrase

There are many intensities of OCD, including symptoms such as:

Hoarding items
Tapping or Ticks
Checking and rechecking locks
Irrational fears injuries or sickness
Cleaning rituals
Counting rituals
Excessive hand washing
Organizing rituals
A fear of germs

Compulsions are often actions that are done to alleviate the anxiety caused by obsessions. For instance, a person with religious OCD may recite a certain prayer repeatedly when they sin. On the other hand, a person with checking OCD might check their stove repeatedly to make sure it’s off before leaving the house or going to bed. If you or someone you care about has displayed signs of OCD, our OCD treatment is here to help.

Customized Session Frequency and Duration
