Our supportive housing offers a structured, nurturing environment where adults with OCD can focus on managing their symptoms, improving their quality of life, and building the skills needed to live more independently. Our programs are designed to address a wide range of mental health conditions, with a particular emphasis on OCD treatment.
Housing Support Tailored for OCD
Our housing programs provide a safe and supportive space for individuals struggling with mental illness, including obsessive compulsive disorder. Our homes are more than just places to live – they are environments where individuals can develop strategies to manage their symptoms, learn to live autonomously, and participate in therapeutic activities that promote healing. For some, group homes for OCD can be the ideal setting to begin this journey. For others, it is a great place to land after inpatient treatment.
Our treatment model is evidence-based, incorporating response prevention techniques to help residents break free from the cycle of obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. We also offer medication management as part of our comprehensive approach, ensuring that residents receive the right balance of therapeutic interventions and medical care.
A Focus on Mental Health and Well-Being

Our team of mental health professionals is experienced in working with clients with anxiety disorders and OCD through a combination of therapy, skill-building, and community support. We understand that each person’s experience with obsessive compulsive disorder is unique, which is why we offer individualized treatment plans tailored to meet the specific needs of our residents.
We also recognize that behavioral health is a vital component of recovery. Our programs are designed to help individuals understand and manage the behavioral patterns that contribute to their mental illness. This holistic approach encourages long-term success and greater independence for our residents.
Comprehensive Therapy and Support
Therapeutic support is a cornerstone of our program. Residents participate in group therapy sessions, where they can share experiences, learn from others, and develop coping strategies in a supportive, communal setting. These sessions are designed to reduce the isolation often felt by individuals with OCD and provide a platform for building meaningful relationships with peers. In addition to group therapy, we can provide access to individual therapy and other specialized interventions that are proven to treat OCD effectively. Our staff is trained to offer both emotional support and practical guidance, helping residents gain confidence in managing their mental health condition.
