OCD Treatment Center

Obsessive-compulsive disorder, more commonly referred to as OCD, can cause devastation in the lives of those who are afflicted by its symptoms. For people with OCD, their days are filled with obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that can become so overwhelming and all-consuming that it negatively impacts their ability to function on a daily basis. Even the most mundane of tasks can be monumentally difficult for people who have obsessive-compulsive disorder because they are unable to escape from the trap of their own minds. They may feel compelled to perform ritualistic acts that they know are irrational but are incapable of ceasing. They may experience intrusive, disturbing thought patterns that they want to be rid of but cannot find relief from. The powerlessness that people with OCD feel over their minds can be debilitating and leave them feeling hopeless about their futures. But life does not have to continue to be this way. With proper treatment, the symptoms of OCD can be successfully overcome.

At Kansas Drug Rehabilitation, we understand how troubling it can be to face each day when it is tainted by the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder, so we have developed specialized programming that is tailored to meet the needs of men and women who need assistance in overcoming the detrimental effects that this disorder can elicit.

Helping a Loved One or Family Member Get Treatment

Having a family member or loved one who is suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder can be extremely distressing as you watch him or her participate in behaviors that are perplexing and seem foreign to you. Your loved one may perform ritualistic behaviors that seem senseless or demonstrate irrational concerns over such things as cleanliness or symmetry. Your loved one may also be presenting with symptoms of severe distress over the presence of disturbing thoughts that he or she is incapable of getting rid of. You want to help your loved one, but you are unsure as to what, if anything, you can do. The following are some suggestions for ways that you may be able to offer support:

  • Become educated on obsessive-compulsive disorder. By gaining an understanding of the illness, the easier it will be to convey a sense of empathy towards your loved one.
  • Provide your loved one with an opportunity to fully express what he or she is experiencing. Just having an open forum to talk about his or her distress can offer your loved one some sense of relief in feeling less alone.
  • Research the various treatment options that are available for OCD sufferers. Discuss those options with your loved one to see what seems to be the best fit to meet his or her particular needs.
  • Offer to go with your loved one to any appointments that may be scheduled for evaluations or tours of treatment centers.
  • Remain unconditionally supportive throughout the treatment process. The more involved you are, the greater your loved one’s chances are for success.

Why Consider Treatment at Kansas Drug Rehabilitation

Going through life plagued by the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder can be utterly devastating and demoralizing for individuals. It can hinder their abilities to perform adequately at work. It can elicit feelings of loneliness, resulting in the desire to isolate themselves. Relationships can become disturbed. Activities that were once enjoyed can suddenly seem troublesome. In some cases, people with OCD may begin to experience suicidal ideation as they feel hopeless to ever find relief from their symptoms. But while you may feel as though there is no end to your suffering, there can be. Through the implementation of appropriate treatment, people can win the fight against obsessive-compulsive disorder and regain a sense of empowerment over their lives and their futures.

If you feel that you are in crisis, or are having thoughts about hurting yourself or others, please call 9-1-1 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately.

Medication management: Patients engaged in the Mood and Anxiety Program are seen by a psychiatrist or attending physician on a weekly basis in order to determine the need for medication, monitor medication, and adjust any medication prescribed in order to ensure optimal alleviation of mental health symptoms, including those associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Registered nurses and clinical technicians also assist in monitoring a patient’s medication needs.

All individual sessions are conducted by Master’s level clinicians and licensed psychologists and are designed to afford patients the opportunity to discuss his or her progress in treatment, address any concerns that may arise, and process through various feelings that he or she is experiencing.

Group therapy: At the time that patients are admitted into the Mood and Anxiety Program, they are assigned to a small group of peers, all of whom are engaged in the same program.

In addition to serving as a general process group, topics that are covered during these group sessions may include, but are not limited to:

  • Relapse prevention

Family members and loved ones can attend psychoeducational lectures, process groups, and a family dinner that can unify a family unit in a powerful way. Lastly, loved ones can remain in contact with a patient’s primary therapist should questions or concerns arise during the course of treatment.

Continuing Care and Levels of Treatment

Kansas Drug Rehabilitation’s method for providing all-encompassing care for every patient who comes for treatment includes thorough discharge planning and continuing care services that are second-to-none. Once a patient engages in services to treat OCD at Kansas Drug Rehabilitation, a comprehensive continued care plan is devised so that they can remain successful once treatment is complete. Those partaking in the services at Desert Flower Hospital meet with continued care staff to assess each individual’s needs and plan for discharge. Those engaged in the residential programming at Kansas Drug Rehabilitation meet with the same continued care staff and regional outreach specialists and partake in lectures and one-on-one planning sessions to ensure quality referrals and to establish any follow-up appointments that may be required once they have been discharged.

Furthermore, patients exiting the residential programming, along with their family members, can benefit from The Connections Program. This program includes 12-month-long case management services that are in place to offer ongoing and substantial support to former patients. A representative from this program contacts patients 48 hours after they are discharged and is available to assist these individuals in seeking and receiving the additional services they need in order to remain successful in the process of healing and recovery.

Lastly, former patients can take part in the Alumni Relations affiliated with Kansas Drug Rehabilitation. These services include groups offered through outpatient centers, which are located across the United States.

If you or a loved one wishes to receive the superior care that has improved the lives of many individuals who have struggled with OCD, look no further than Kansas Drug Rehabilitation. The life you have envisioned can begin here.
