Learn About Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Treatment
Treatment for co-occurring obsessive-compulsive disorder at Bradford Recovery Center in Millerton, PA
Some people who struggle with addiction also suffer from a mental illness. These individuals may turn to drugs or alcohol to manage symptoms they are already experiencing, but the use of those substances can quickly become addictive. Conversely, others may develop symptoms of a mental illness while struggling with addiction concerns. When someone suffers from a mental illness at the same time as an addiction, clinically known as a substance use disorder, it is referred to as co-occurring disorders. When this is the case, it is not enough for a person to receive treatment for only one concern. Because one disorder can amplify the symptoms of the other, it is imperative that an individual receive professional treatment for both conditions.
One type of mental illness that can co-occur with addiction is obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). OCD manifests itself in obsessive thoughts and/or compulsive behaviors. The thoughts associated with OCD are typically anxiety-driven and can become so intrusive and persistent that an individual practices compulsions, or rituals, in hopes of alleviating their distress.
Sometimes a person who suffers from OCD has thoughts that are violent, graphic, or disturbing in nature, experiences that can threaten their peace and general well-being. These experiences can also prevent an individual from being fully present in their activities and enjoying life’s greatest moments. Unfortunately, the compulsions that follow rarely restore peace of mind and often increase nervousness, which leads to the return of distressing thoughts.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder might make a person exceedingly concerned with cleanliness, tidiness, or orderliness. An individual who suffers from OCD may be preoccupied with rules, organization, moral righteousness, religious piety, justice, or perfectionism to the point of paralysis. Furthermore, anxious thoughts might lead a person to be obsessive or compulsive in other areas of their life, such as within relationships, during work, or while participating in hobbies. An individual who suffers from OCD may consistently struggle with self-doubt, low self-esteem, and have trouble making decisions. The symptoms of OCD can be so distressing that they may lead some people to wrestle with various addictive behaviors.
Why Consider Treatment at Bradford
Why consider getting co-occurring obsessive-compulsive disorder treatment at Bradford Recovery Center in Millerton, PA
Left untreated, a person who suffers from addiction and co-occurring obsessive-compulsive disorder may experience a number of challenges. Obsessions, compulsions, and addictive behaviors can steal a person’s time and rob them of their ability to enjoy daily life. An individual who struggles with untreated OCD alongside addiction may have difficulty focusing at work, leading to poor job performance and possible unemployment. Both conditions, if left unaddressed, can lead to financial difficulties, debt, and possible homelessness.
Those who suffer from untreated addiction that coexists with OCD may engage in impulsive or reckless behaviors to cope with distressing feelings or in an attempt to ease anxiety. Individuals with these challenges may self-harm, or struggle with suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
