Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by a cycle of obsessions and compulsions. These can manifest as intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) that cause anxiety and repetitive, ritualistic behaviors (compulsions) performed to ease that anxiety.
While occasional intrusive thoughts are normal, for individuals with OCD, these thoughts are persistent, disruptive, and distressing. Compulsions may provide temporary relief, but they often create an unhealthy cycle that reinforces the obsessions, making it difficult to break free.
OCD can interfere with daily responsibilities, relationships, career goals, and overall well-being, but effective treatment can help individuals regain control of their minds and lives.
At Wellness Hills, OCD treatment is anchored in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard, evidence-based behavioral therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Our ERP protocol is delivered within structured inpatient, PHP, IOP, and outpatient programs and is overseen by licensed clinicians in the state of New Jersey with specialization in anxiety and obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders.
ERP at Wellness Hills follows a hierarchical exposure model, beginning with controlled, lower-distress triggers and systematically progressing toward high-anxiety stimuli. Response prevention is actively enforced to disrupt compulsive behaviors and retrain neurological fear-response pathways.
Clients typically participate in ERP-based interventions three to five times per week depending on level of care, with continuous psychiatric oversight to support symptom stabilization and medication responsiveness.
For severe cases of OCD that require intensive care, inpatient treatment offers 24/7 support in a safe, structured environment. This level of care is ideal for individuals whose symptoms have become debilitating or who struggle with co-occurring conditions such as depression or anxiety.
Key benefits of inpatient treatment include:
Inpatient care allows clients to focus entirely on their recovery without the distractions or stressors of daily life.
For individuals who require intensive treatment while maintaining some connection to daily responsibilities, the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is an excellent option.
PHP provides structured programming, including:
Clients return home in the evenings, allowing them to practice coping strategies in real-world settings while continuing to receive substantial therapeutic support.
The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is designed for individuals with moderate OCD symptoms or those stepping down from more intensive levels of treatment.
IOP offers flexibility, as clients attend therapy sessions several days a week while maintaining work, school, or family commitments. This program helps clients continue to make progress and reinforce coping skills without requiring full-day attendance.
Outpatient therapy is ideal for individuals with mild OCD symptoms or those who have completed more intensive care. Clients meet with a therapist on a weekly or biweekly basis to:
This level of care emphasizes long-term support and sustained management of OCD symptoms.
Many clients begin OCD treatment at a higher level of care such as PHP or IOP and step down to outpatient therapy over an average range of 6 to 10 weeks, depending on symptom severity, clinical progress, and response to ERP-based treatment.
For many individuals, medication is a key part of managing OCD. At Wellness Hills, our psychiatrists work closely with clients to design personalized medication plans that complement therapy.
Common medications for OCD include:
Medication is monitored carefully to ensure it is both effective and well-tolerated.
Therapy is a cornerstone of OCD treatment. At Wellness Hills, we specialize in evidence-based therapies such as:
For example, a client with contamination-related OCD may begin by briefly touching a feared surface without washing their hands, learning to tolerate the anxiety response without performing compulsions. As progress develops, exposure intensity and duration are gradually increased to weaken the obsession–compulsion cycle.
Therapy sessions are tailored to each individual’s unique triggers, helping them manage their symptoms and reduce compulsions over time.
