Get Help with Your OCD

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can be an all-consuming disorder, affecting your thoughts and behaviors. The intensity and distress of the symptoms can significantly compromise your daily life.

Our team at Clear Behavioral Health has developed an OCD treatment program to support you. We can treat your OCD and provide you with support for living a balanced life.

OCD Treatment at Clear Behavioral Health

Our OCD treatment is individualized to meet your specific clinical needs.  Depending on the symptoms of your OCD, our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) or Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), or residential treatment may be the best option. Both programs are in-network with most insurance providers, allowing you to experience treatment that is accessible without the hassle. 

We offer our OCD Treatment in our residential mental health treatment centers in Manhattan Beach and Torrance, and outpatient treatment located in Los Angeles and Redondo Beach. Our online treatment option is designed for those who may need flexibility and allows you to access your treatment from the privacy of your personal electronic device anywhere in California. 

We offer treatment of OCD for both adults and teens. As we assess your OCD symptoms, we will collaborate with you in identifying your OCD stressors and impairments. Our clinicians will support and manage your symptoms while providing the best OCD therapeutic treatment tailored to address your unique symptoms.

Assessment for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

When you enter our OCD treatment programs, our clinical staff will conduct an in-depth assessment, focusing on highlighting your OCD symptoms. Once complete, our staff will collaborate with you to determine the level of care that best suits your individual needs. 

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Our PHP and IOP programs offer the full range of care and support to treat your OCD symptoms. Each of these programs includes individual therapy, group therapy, holistic therapies, individual and group case management services, and medication support when needed.

These programs are created to support and treat your OCD diagnoses and connect you with individuals who are also experiencing OCD or similar diagnoses.

  • 2-4 weeks of treatment

What to Expect with PHP and IOP for OCD

If you enter at the PHP level, upon successful completion, you will transition into the IOP level of care for the remainder of treatment. When you complete IOP treatment, you will graduate from the IOP program and launch into our network of Alumni. Here you will join the stellar group of Clear alumni, focused on continuous support, community, and comradery.

Each of our programs is structured with individual and group therapy and case management sessions, as well as our holistic therapy and medication management for the perfect OCD treatment that provides support every step of the way. Both programs include:

Individual Therapy

Once a week you will meet with your therapist to work on your OCD symptoms through a range of therapeutic modalities like cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and somatic OCD therapy. These sessions provide you with the tools necessary to understand your condition and to ease and manage the severity of your OCD symptoms.

Depending on your specific situation, we may also use other therapies, such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, and gestalt therapy.

Medication Management

If your OCD symptoms require medication, our clinicians will determine which medication will best suit your symptoms and stop the repetitive, impairing cyclical thinking often associated with OCD.

Case Management

You will meet with your case manager once a week to develop fundamental life skills around managing and coping with OCD. These skills will translate to dealing with OCD symptoms in your day-to-day life and gaining control over your thoughts and behavioral patterns.

Group Therapy

Our group therapy sessions are the core of our treatment and happen daily. Group therapy allows for peer support. and include sessions led by a therapist to discuss the distinct types of OCD, and sessions that focus on building important life skills and prosocial skills with others.

Holistic Groups

Our holistic therapy groups are proven to bring you into a position of integration by reconstructing the connection with your body through yoga, mindfulness, sound baths, meditation, and more.

    What is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?

    Not everyone experiences OCD in the same way. While some may be distressed with ruminating intrusive thoughts that cycle repeatedly, others may feel obligated to complete routines or rituals (before, during, or after tasks), or obsess over cleanliness regarding germs and sanitization. Some may have a combination of all these symptoms.

    Clear’s expertise is finding the root of OCD and isolating the type of OCD (such as contamination and cleanliness, checking, repeating, cycling patterns, obsessing over harmful and sexual thoughts, or avoiding situations, people, or other stimulants that produce obsessions).

    Once we have learned about you, we will develop your individualized treatment plan. You do not have to live with the impairment that obsessive-compulsive disorder has on your life. Treatment can be life-changing as it can reduce the intensity of the obsessions and compulsions. The road toward recovery, repair, and reward is possible. Clear will support you in making that a reality.

    Signs and Symptoms of OCD

    When you have OCD, you might experience symptoms such as:

    Obsessions

    • Persistent, intrusive, and unwanted thoughts and images in the mind
    • Fear of contamination of germs, obsessed with sanitizing
    • Fears of harming oneself or others
    • Avoidant behavior, which may stem from intrusive thoughts

    Compulsions

    • Cleaning or washing excessively
    • Overly checking things (may check rooms, pockets, locks, switches, under the bed) 
    • Counting and cataloging things before, during, or after an act
    • Hoarding and collecting items that may hold value or do not hold value, significance, or importance
    • Repetitive behaviors, or feelings inclined to perform a routine before a common task

    Types of OCD

    Empathic treatment starts with an appropriate diagnosis. Our clinicians have years of training and experience to support others like you with obsessive-compulsive disorders and identify the root cause. Types of OCD include:

    • Counting, Contamination, and Checking: You may feel obligated to count before engaging in responsibilities or counting items. You may be obsessed with cleaning items, environments, or your house. Have fears regarding sickness. You may check your pockets, behind doors, locks, or light switches.

    • Repeating and Rituals: You may repeat behaviors and have a feeling of commitment to repeatedly engage in a routine no matter the day.

    • Harmful or Sexual Thoughts: You may experience harmful or sexual thoughts about a loved one, a child, an animal, or someone else. The intrusive thoughts may produce significant distress, which may cause you to avoid them.

    • Hoarding and Collecting Behavior: You may collect items that are personal or items with no value. Spaces may be overcrowded and overflowing with things you have hoarded. 

    You might experience OCD with other mental conditions such as depression, generalized anxiety, and ADHD. Clear can help develop a program that serves all your unique individual needs and mental experiences. 

    If the struggle of living with OCD has led you to manage symptoms by engaging in substance use behaviors, we can support you toward sobriety as well.  At our residential and outpatient programs, we provide dual diagnosis treatment to treat underlying OCD symptoms and the substance usage that is hindering your quality of life.

    How to Treat OCD

    Our clinicians are versed in facilitating a broad scope of strategies for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder. At Clear, we value the individuality of every person and modify treatment to accommodate your clinical needs. Our outlook is integrative and includes individual therapy, group therapy, and holistic treatments.  We implement a focused and effective approach to managing OCD symptoms.

    In collaboration with Neuro Wellness Spa, we offer individual therapy and psychiatric medication management if our intensive Outpatient (IOP) and partial hospitalization programs (PHP) do not fit your mental and medical needs. Neuro Wellness Spa provides an alternative means to OCD treatment with a high caliber of care.

    Navigating a life with obsessive-compulsive disorder can be isolating, stigma-inducing, overwhelming, and time-consuming. When you experience OCD symptoms, you may find you experience a lack of support and empathy towards your condition.

        I can’t say enough good things about Clear Behavioral Health. The care that I received was exceptional. The staff are very professional and committed to providing outstanding treatment. They go out of their way to cultivate an atmosphere of compassion, awareness, and recovery.

        The multi-pronged approach; the counselors, individual therapy, nutrition, sympathetic/empathetic counselors of each group session shifted my brain paths. You are never finished there, even when you “graduate”, they hold alumni group sessions when you feel you need it. I have nothing but gratitude for their program.

      • star star star star star

        Clear Behavioral Health is my second family that I never knew I had that supported me and continues to passionately support the sober community. The therapists, counselors and group facilitators have been amazing in helping me have a voice, loving myself again, and seeing the world in a new light. I am eternally grateful.

        From the get go, the staff made me feel welcome and were all very friendly. My therapist and case manager were also very helpful and supportive throughout the whole process. I found that the somatic therapy was the most valuable for me, the therapist who ran those groups was great. My biggest takeaway from treatment was to take the time to pause, not be afraid to ask for help, and not worry about things in the moment. If you are looking for meaningful change and being part of a new and supportive community, then Clear Behavioral Health is the right fit.

        Overall I loved the experience and did not want to leave. The staff was very helpful and motivated me to stay even when I felt like running away. I also built meaningful connections with my therapist and case manager who gave me a lot of useful advice and are still supporting me today. Since leaving, my family and sponsor have noticed a big difference, and I could not recommend a more supportive environment for addiction and mental health treatment, Clear saved my life.
