OCD is a long-lasting condition that affects roughly 1 in 40 adults in the United States. The International OCD Foundation says that, contrary to public misconception, the disorder is a debilitating mental illness characterized by extreme cycles of unwanted intrusive thoughts that trigger intensely distressing feelings, leading to ritualistic, compulsive behaviors that the individual believes are necessary to prevent negative consequences or reduce anxiety. Because of the nature of the condition, OCD is often disruptive to daily life and can prevent an individual from carrying out activities that they enjoy.

However, OCD is also treatable, and Mission Connection offers evidence-based therapies that can help patients manage their symptoms. As part of their outpatient, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization programs, the treatment center can provide individuals with various forms of psychotherapy, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and exposure therapy. These may also be combined with mindfulness approaches and physical wellness strategies to help improve overall resilience, rather than simply treating the symptoms.

In addition to traditional therapies, Mission Connection also offers specialized treatments such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy, which is recommended for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant OCD. This non-invasive procedure uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in specific areas of the brain associated with mood and emotional regulation, reducing the intensity and frequency of compulsions and other symptoms and improving cognitive control. As an FDA-approved treatment, TMS therapy is a safe and effective alternative to medication and will not result in long recovery times.

Mission Connection’s OCD treatment programs will last a minimum of six weeks, but the duration may be adjusted based on the patient’s needs. Additionally, most psychotherapy services will be available via telehealth, allowing clients to receive treatment from the comfort of their own home.
