OCD & Addiction Treatment
Living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can feel like an endless struggle—one that consumes not only your thoughts but your ability to live life freely. For many, the weight of OCD is made heavier by co-occurring conditions like addiction, creating a barrier that feels impossible to overcome alone. At our OCD treatment center in Fenton, Michigan, we understand the depth of this struggle. Our mission is to help individuals and their loved ones find hope, healing, and a personalized path to recovery. Here, you are not alone.
OCD and Addiction: A Growing Concern in Michigan
Data shows that within Michigan, countless individuals struggling with OCD coupled with addiction, silently face battles that most don’t see. OCD is a mental health condition marked by persistent thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) designed to alleviate the distress those thoughts cause. When someone feels trapped in these cycles, the appeal of substances like alcohol or drugs grows stronger, often as a way to escape or dull the pain.
This trap is dangerous. Addiction doesn’t solve OCD—it often multiplies its intensity. That’s why addressing OCD alongside addiction is such a crucial component of treatment. Liberty House Recovery Center offers compassionate and effective care for these complex conditions, ensuring that each person receives support tailored to their unique challenges and goals.

Understanding OCD and Addiction
What Is OCD?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a chronic condition that impacts how a person thinks, feels, and behaves in their daily life. Obsessions—unwanted, distressing thoughts, images, or urges—often dominate the mind, causing overwhelming anxiety. To cope, individuals repeat behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions) to ease the anxiety caused by the obsessions. While relief from compulsions may be short-lived, the cycle often perpetuates itself, leaving someone trapped in patterns they cannot break on their own.
OCD is not a sign of personal weakness or failure. It’s a real and medical condition rooted in a combination of biological, psychological, and environmental factors. At Liberty House, we are dedicated to helping individuals identify these patterns and work through them using proven therapies, education, and care.

what to look out for
Risk Factors for OCD
Though anyone can develop OCD, several factors may increase its likelihood:
- Genetics: A family history of OCD or other anxiety disorders can play a role.
- Brain Chemistry: Differences in the brain’s serotonin levels and other neurochemical imbalances contribute to OCD symptoms.
- Trauma or Stress: Past experiences of trauma or significant stress can trigger or exacerbate OCD symptoms.
- Personality Traits: People who are perfectionistic or highly detail-oriented may experience OCD compulsions more frequently.
Understanding these risks is crucial, as it enables us to create treatment plans tailored to your specific needs. Our approach at Liberty House takes into account not just the symptoms of OCD but the underlying factors contributing to its severity.
Signs & Symptoms of OCD
Recognizing OCD can be difficult, especially since symptoms often vary in type and intensity. However, there are common patterns that signal it’s time to seek professional care.
Common Signs Include:
- Obsessions: Persistent thoughts or images that feel uncontrollable, such as fears about contamination, harm, or symmetry.
- Compulsions: Repeated behaviors like handwashing, checking locks, counting, or organizing objects in specific ways.
- Extreme Anxiety: Distress caused by intrusive thoughts or the interruption of rituals.
- Disrupted Daily Life: Interference with work, school, relationships, or other priorities due to obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviors.
If you recognize these signs in yourself or a loved one, taking action is the first and most critical step. OCD can often feel isolating, but it doesn’t have to stay that way.
Our Approach to Treatment
When It’s Time to Consider OCD Treatment in Michigan
Many people attempt to manage OCD on their own, often masking their struggle because they fear judgment, failure, or stigma. But OCD is not something to shoulder alone. Prolonged avoidance of treatment can worsen symptoms, leading to isolation, depression, or frequently co-occurring issues like substance abuse.
You don’t need to wait for a crisis to seek help. If you feel like OCD is controlling your life, or you’ve turned to substances to cope, it’s time to explore professional care. Seeking treatment at Liberty House Recovery Center means stepping into a safe space where you’re surrounded by supportive professionals and peers who truly understand what you’re going through.
how treatment works
Treatment Options for OCD in Michigan with Liberty House Recovery
Our OCD treatment program emphasizes a holistic approach to healing, meaning we attend to your mind, body, and spirit, not just the symptoms. We offer a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities that have been proven to help individuals disrupt the cycle of OCD and build healthier habits for the future. Our care model is tailored to the individual, ensuring each person receives the level of support that best aligns with their current needs. By blending clinical structure with compassionate guidance, we foster a healing experience that lasts beyond discharge.
Individual therapy is a cornerstone of our OCD treatment program. Therapists work with each person to identify their unique struggles, triggers, and compulsions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and specifically Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), are highly effective approaches for OCD treatment. These therapies help individuals gradually face their fears in controlled ways, while also resisting the urge to perform compulsive behaviors. Over time, this can rewire thought patterns and significantly reduce the power OCD holds over daily life. Clients are also encouraged to develop personalized coping strategies they can use long after treatment ends.
Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. Connecting with others who truly understand OCD can be transformational. Group therapy offers opportunities to share experiences, gain insight, and develop new coping strategies. The support and understanding cultivated within peer-led spaces often build lasting resilience. These sessions also reduce feelings of shame, helping clients realize they are not alone in their struggles. Many clients continue forming bonds with group members even after completing formal treatment.
Medication can play an important role in treating OCD. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), as well as other types of prescribed medications, have been shown to reduce symptoms of both OCD and anxiety. At Liberty House, our team works closely with you to determine whether medication could complement your therapy plan. Every prescription is carefully monitored and adjusted to prioritize both safety and symptom relief. Medication is never treated as a one-size-fits-all solution—it’s just one piece of a broader recovery framework.
Sometimes, the best way to confront OCD and addiction is through immersive care. Our inpatient program provides 24/7 support in a recovery-focused environment. During your stay, you’ll have access to therapy, medical care, recovery resources, and serene surroundings—all designed to help you reset and refocus on healing. This level of care is especially helpful for individuals whose symptoms are severe, persistent, or paired with substance use. Inpatient treatment also removes daily stressors and distractions, allowing you to focus fully on your recovery.
Not everyone needs inpatient care to recover. Some individuals thrive in outpatient treatment programs, which provide ongoing therapy and support while enabling them to continue with their daily lives. Liberty House offers flexible outpatient programs tailored to your individual recovery goals. Whether you’re transitioning from inpatient care or starting treatment for the first time, outpatient therapy can be a highly effective option. It offers structure, consistency, and professional support while allowing you to rebuild your independence.
How to Pay for OCD Treatment
One of the most pressing concerns for many individuals seeking treatment is the cost of it. At Liberty House Recovery Center, we’re committed to helping our clients navigate this process with transparency and compassion.
Insurance
Many private health insurances plans cover treatment for OCD, particularly when it involves therapies or medications approved by the American Psychiatric Association. Our team helps verify your coverages to determine what’s covered and assists with claims management.
Payment Plans
We understand that financial concerns shouldn’t stand in the way of recovery. Liberty House offers flexible payment plans to ensure that individuals can access treatment when they need it most.
Financial Assistance
If the costs of treatment are overwhelming, you may qualify for grants, scholarships, or other financial assistance designed specifically for mental health care. Our admissions team will guide you through potential options that may be available to you.
