Knowing What to Look for in an OCD Treatment Center in Atlanta
Understanding Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic mental health condition that is characterized by uncontrollable, reoccurring thoughts (obsessions) and behaviors (compulsions) that the individual feels the urge to repeat over and over. The team at Resilience Behavioral Health of Georgia understands the complexities of OCD and provides an individualized, compassionate treatment program designed to help individuals manage their symptoms and regain a sense of control.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a mental health disorder that affects people of all ages and walks of life and occurs when a person gets caught in a cycle of obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are unwanted, intrusive thoughts, images, or urges that trigger intensely distressing feelings. Compulsions are behaviors an individual engages in to attempt to get rid of the obsessions and/or decrease his or her distress.
At Resilience Behavioral Health of Georgia, we provide lasting clinical and medical solutions that provide real change for those struggling with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Contact us today to learn more about our program.

Treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Your Atlanta Treatment Options for OCD
The OCD treatment program at Resilience Behavioral Health of Georgia is comprised of evidence-based therapies tailored to the specific needs of the individual. Our comprehensive approach is designed to reduce the frequency and severity of OCD symptoms, allowing individuals to live fuller, more productive lives.
Treatment begins with a thorough assessment to understand the specific nature of each individual’s OCD. From there, a personalized treatment plan is developed which typically includes:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a specific focus on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is considered the gold standard for OCD treatment. ERP involves gradual exposure to feared objects or ideas, either directly or by imagination, and then refraining from the compulsive behavior once the anxiety or obsessions have been triggered.
- Medication management, which can be an integral component of treatment when combined with therapy. Medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are commonly used to help reduce OCD symptoms.
- Support Groups that can provide a sense of community and shared experiences, along with additional coping strategies.
In addition to ERP and medication management, our program offers complementary therapies, including:
- Mindfulness and relaxation techniques to help manage the anxiety that often accompanies OCD.
- Family therapy to help educate family members about OCD and how they can best support their loved ones.
We understand that OCD is a chronic condition, and consistent support is crucial. Our team provides ongoing monitoring and support to address any new challenges that arise and to ensure long-term management of symptoms.
At Resilience Behavioral Health, you’ll find a comprehensive suite of OCD treatment options designed to meet a variety of needs. Our programs include outpatient and intensive outpatient services, ensuring flexibility and thorough care.
Healing the Mind, Body & Spirit with Holistic Therapies
Additional Holistic Support & Therapies When Treating OCD
At Resilience Behavioral Health, we recognize the importance of holistic approaches in managing OCD. Here, we integrate additional therapies and complementary practices to enhance traditional treatment methods.
Mindfulness involves staying present and non-judgmental, even during uncomfortable moments triggered by OCD. This practice aligns closely with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) techniques, where you confront triggers without engaging in compulsions. Studies indicate that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) significantly reduce OCD symptoms by promoting acceptance and diminishing the power of intrusive thoughts.
Yoga offers both physical and mental benefits, helping to manage the intensity of OCD symptoms. Specific yoga poses like Child’s Pose, Warrior Pose, and Pigeon Pose facilitate mindfulness and body awareness, which can interrupt the cycle of compulsions. Regular yoga practice, combined with breathwork, helps in regulating thought pace and enhancing distress tolerance, crucial for those dealing with OCD.
A balanced diet plays a vital role in mental health. At Resilience Behavioral Health, we emphasize the importance of a nutrient-dense diet rich in omega-3s and antioxidants to support brain health. Nutritional and herbal supplements like vitamin D, N-acetyl cysteine, and curcumin are also explored for their potential benefits in alleviating OCD symptoms, backed by research suggesting their role in enhancing cognitive and emotional well-being.
