OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) is a mental health condition characterized by recurring, uncontrollable thoughts or obsessions causing repetitive behaviors or compulsions. People with OCD feel compelled to perform certain routines or rituals to attempt to alleviate their distress or anxiety caused by the obsessive thoughts. These behaviors can interfere with daily activities and relationships, causing significant distress and impairing overall functioning.

Our OCD Treatment Programs
Our OCD treatment programs are designed to meet the varying needs and schedules of individuals seeking treatment by providing the following levels of care:
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): Our PHP offers a structured and intensive treatment program for individuals with OCD who require more support than traditional outpatient therapy but do not need 24-hour supervision.
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): Our IOP provides a step-down level of care that allows individuals with OCD to receive comprehensive treatment while still maintaining their daily responsibilities and family commitments.
- Evening IOP: Our Evening IOP is specially designed for those who require flexibility in scheduling due to work, school, or other daytime obligations. It provides evening sessions to accommodate busy lifestyles.
- Outpatient Program (OP): Our OP offers ongoing support and therapy for individuals with OCD who have completed higher levels of care but benefit from continued counseling and assistance in managing their symptoms on a less intensive basis.
Types of Therapies We Use to Treat OCD
Peachtree Recovery Solutions in Atlanta utilizes a variety of evidence-based and holistic therapies to effectively treat OCD, including:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors associated with obsessive thoughts and compulsions.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT helps individuals develop coping skills to manage intense emotions and improve interpersonal relationships, which is extremely beneficial for those with OCD.
- Individual Therapy: One-on-one therapy sessions provide personalized support and guidance from an experienced therapist, allowing clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a safe and secure environment.
- Group Therapy: Participating in group therapy sessions offers peer support from peers facing similar challenges with OCD, as well as opportunities to learn new coping strategies and build connections within a supportive community.
- Holistic Therapies: Integrative approaches such as mindfulness practices, relaxation techniques, art therapy, and yoga may be incorporated into our treatment plans to enhance overall well-being and reduce stress associated with OCD symptoms.
- Red Light Therapy: This non-invasive light therapy technique has been shown to have potential benefits for mood regulation and reducing anxiety or depression associated with OCD.
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): In some cases, medication may be used in conjunction with therapy to manage symptoms of OCD and improve treatment outcomes.
- Psychoeducational Groups: These groups provide information and education about OCD, its symptoms, causes, and treatment options to help clients better understand their condition and develop effective coping strategies.
How Long Does OCD Treatment in Atlanta Last?
The duration of OCD treatment in Atlanta at Peachtree Recovery Solutions varies depending on the individual’s unique needs, severity of symptoms, and progress during treatment. Typically, OCD treatment is considered a long-term process that often involves ongoing support to effectively manage symptoms and maintain recovery.
Some individuals with more intense symptoms can benefit from short-term treatment programs, such as our PHP or IOP. While others with less intense symptoms will benefit from our OP. Our PHPs and IOPs generally last for a few months, but treatment schedules are adjusted based on each client’s progress in their treatment program.
For ongoing support and treatment, our OP is normally where most of our clients begin before moving into aftercare support and treatment. The length and duration of these programs depend on individual needs, goals, and objectives. Often, our clients will maintain individual and group support sessions a few times a month once they have become more comfortable with effectively managing their OCD symptoms.
