To achieve long-term healing from OCD, young adults need treatment that provides relief from obsessions and compulsions, while addressing underlying causes and co-occurring mental health conditions. Without this full-spectrum care, young adults are vulnerable to relapse.
Newport Institute’s specialized OCD treatment incorporates Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, considered the gold standard of care for OCD. In addition, clients’ treatment plans include psychiatric care, medication management, other evidence-based modalities (such as EMDR and Attachment-Based Family Therapy), experiential activities, and academics/life skills education.
It’s not unusual to experience some degree of obsessive thinking, or a strong desire for things to be a certain way. In fact, people sometimes describe themselves as OCD when they really mean that they like to be neat and organized. But if you suffer from OCD, you know that this disorder is deeply painful and upsetting.
If you or a loved one have any of the OCD obsessions or compulsions listed above, a full assessment by a mental health professional is the first step to take. An assessment will likely include a physical exam to rule out physiological issues that might be causing OCD symptoms. An OCD screening will also include a psychological evaluation in which you will answer questions about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so the doctor can gauge the severity of your symptoms.
