Newport Institute – Young Adult OCD Program

To achieve long-term healing from OCD, young adults need treatment that provides relief from obsessions and compulsions, while addressing underlying causes and co-occurring mental health conditions. Without this full-spectrum care, young adults are vulnerable to relapse. Newport Institute’s specialized OCD treatment incorporates Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, considered the gold standard of care for OCD. In addition, clients’ treatment plans include psychiatric care, medication management, other evidence-based modalities (such as EMDR and Attachment-Based Family Therapy), experiential activities, and academics/life skills education. OCD is classified as an anxiety disorder, because the symptoms of severe OCD can create extreme anxiety. However, OCD is also linked to other mental health issues. Therefore, Newport Institute provides tailored treatment plans for young adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder that also address common issues that occur alongside OCD, such as generalized anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, body dysmorphia, social anxiety, and panic disorders.
