OCD and Addiction Treatment

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a complex mental health condition that can significantly impact thoughts, behaviors, and daily functioning. At Asana Recovery, we understand that OCD often co-occurs with substance use disorders, as individuals may turn to drugs or alcohol to manage overwhelming OCD symptoms.

OCD is characterized by a cycle of persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) performed to alleviate anxiety.

This cycle can be debilitating, interfering with work, relationships, and overall quality of life. Many individuals with OCD turn to substances as a way to cope with their symptoms, leading to a complex interplay between OCD and addiction.


At Asana Recovery, we recognize the intricate relationship between OCD and substance use disorders. Our integrated care approach addresses both conditions simultaneously, providing comprehensive treatment for lasting recovery.

Common Symptoms of OCD

Recognizing the symptoms of OCD is crucial for seeking appropriate treatment. Common signs include:



Repeated, intrusive thoughts about contamination, harm, or symmetry



Compulsive actions like excessive hand washing, checking, or arranging objects



Ritualistic behaviors that interfere with daily activities



Persistent feelings of doubt or fear



Avoidance of certain situations that trigger obsessions



Co-occurring symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and substance misuse


Identifying these symptoms is the first step toward getting the help you need. At Asana Recovery, we provide comprehensive assessments to develop tailored treatment plans for your unique needs.

OCD and Addiction Treatment

Treating OCD is crucial for maintaining long-term sobriety as both conditions often reinforce each other. Untreated OCD symptoms can trigger substance use as a coping mechanism, creating a destructive cycle. Integrated treatment addressing both conditions simultaneously leads to better outcomes, including reduced relapse rates, longer engagement in recovery, and higher abstinence rates at follow-up appointments.

At Asana Recovery, we use a Comprehensive Healing Strategy:

Medical Detox

If you’re currently struggling with drugs or alcohol, that addiction is life threatening. Drug and alcohol detox gets you clean or sober, using either a social approach where you quit and go through withdrawal, or a medication assisted treatment program.

Asana Recovery uses both options, which will be recommended based on the amount of substance you’re using, which substances you’re using, and your mental and physical health.

Detox normally involves staying at our clinic where you can be monitored and given the medical attention to move through withdrawal safely.

Common Detox Timelines Include

In addition, if you’re addicted to a benzodiazepine, you may be asked to go onto a tapering schedule. This can significantly extend the detox period, because you will sometimes spend several weeks on detox instead of the standard 7-14 days.

Inpatient Care

Asana Recovery provides intimate residential treatment in Orange County, California, with no more than 6 clients per facility to ensure highly personalized care. Our comprehensive treatment approach combines evidence-based therapies with holistic healing methods to address addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders

Our program utilizes multiple therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), group therapy, and family therapy sessions. These core treatments are enhanced by holistic therapies such as art therapy, yoga, mindfulness practices, and recreational activities. Their biological, psychological, and social (BPS) approach creates an integrated healing environment where clients can develop essential recovery skills while receiving individualized attention from the clinical team.

 
 

 

 

Mind, Body, and Spirit Recovery

Research shows that approximately 50% of individuals with substance use disorders have co-occurring mental health conditions. This high rate of comorbidity requires an integrated treatment approach, as both conditions significantly impact each other. When mental health issues go untreated, substance abuse typically worsens, and conversely, substance use can exacerbate mental health problems.

 

Many individuals develop substance use problems while attempting to self-medicate symptoms of depression, anxiety, or trauma. Studies indicate that only 8.3% of adults with co-occurring disorders receive integrated treatment for both conditions

 

The most effective approach is concurrent treatment of both mental health and addiction by the same clinical team, which leads to better outcomes, reduced relapse rates, and improved long-term recovery success.

Research shows that addressing physical health and nutrition during substance use disorder treatment is crucial for recovery success. Poor nutrition and physical health issues can lead to treatment dropout and increased relapse risk, while improvements in physical health enhance motivation and quality of life during addiction treatment.

 

Substance use typically leads to nutrient deficiencies, damaged organs, decreased immunity, and poor eating patterns. These issues can threaten both physical and mental health, impacting vital organs and the nervous system. Additionally, different substances affect nutrition and metabolism differently – opioids impact gastrointestinal function, stimulants reduce appetite, and alcohol can cause severe nutritional deficiencies.

 

Treatment at Asana Recovery includes a nutritional assessment, balanced meals, and physical health monitoring to support healing and maintain long-term recovery.

Research shows that addressing spiritual health during substance use disorder treatment is a significant factor in recovery success. Studies indicate that spirituality can be approached through various pathways, including traditional 12-step programs like AA, secular programs like SMART Recovery, or holistic approaches that integrate mind, body, and spirit connections.

While AA emphasizes spiritual awakening as a key recovery mechanism, SMART Recovery offers a science-based alternative that allows individuals to incorporate their own spiritual beliefs as they see fit. Holistic approaches acknowledge that spiritual wellness, alongside physical and mental health, plays a vital role in comprehensive healing

Studies demonstrate that individuals who engage in spiritual practices during treatment show better outcomes, regardless of their chosen spiritual path. The key is providing options that respect individual beliefs.

Outpatient Treatment

A mental health disorder will almost always mean that you need long-term care and treatment to stay in recovery. At Asana Recovery, we understand that you should always have someone to talk to in case things go wrong. Mental health disorders will always mean that you will have bad days, you are more vulnerable to relapse, and you need ongoing mental healthcare and counseling. Asana Recovery can help you on this journey, offering support, ongoing counseling, and help finding local support groups.

Every aspect of dual diagnosis treatment has to be personalized to treat your specific mental health problems, as they impact you when you move into treatment and as you progress through treatment. At Asana Recovery, we take that seriously.

Partial Hospitalization (PHP)

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is an intensive outpatient treatment option that bridges the gap between inpatient care and traditional outpatient services. The program typically operates 5-7 days per week, with sessions lasting 4-6 hours daily, providing a minimum of 20 hours of weekly treatment.

During PHP, patients receive comprehensive care including individual therapy, group therapy, medication management, and psychiatric services while returning home each evening. This allows them to maintain daily responsibilities while receiving structured treatment. The program is ideal for individuals who have completed inpatient care, need more support than traditional outpatient treatment, or have a stable living environment but require intensive therapeutic intervention.

Intensive Outpatient (IOP)

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a structured treatment option that bridges the gap between inpatient care and traditional outpatient services. The program typically provides 9-19 hours of weekly treatment while allowing clients to maintain their daily responsibilities like work, school, or family obligations.

IOP offers comprehensive care through various therapeutic interventions, including individual counseling, group therapy, family therapy, and psychoeducation sessions. Treatment focuses on substance use disorders, mental health conditions, or co-occurring disorders that don’t require 24-hour supervision or medical detoxification..
