The Anxiety Treatment Center of Sacramento offers Intensive Outpatient Treatment, a Hoarding Disorder Program, Phobia Track, and Equine Assisted Activity Program (EAA) (seasonal), specializing in OCD and anxiety disorders.
At The Anxiety Treatment Center, expert clinicians will help individuals learn how to confront triggers producing the anxiety with techniques that will allow them to become desensitized to them through the exposure process. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy will help individuals address negative thinking patterns that contribute to their anxiety and help to restore a healthy and balanced lifestyle which compliments the ERP process. As one might guess, confronting issues related to anxiety can be difficult and as such, our integration of mindfulness-based approaches will help those who engage in the process to find increased ability to tolerate the uncomfortable feelings that may arise. Integral to our program is group therapy, individual therapy, family education to help family members better how understand how to support their loved ones. Daily check ins occur with the parent(s) of adolescents and teens. Coordinating care with parents on a daily basis facilitates the opportunity to collaborate care so that expectations for treatment are clear, communication of homework assignments and how parents can support the facilitation of the treatment process.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Treatment Centers
How long does OCD treatment take?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.
What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.
Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine (under the brand name Luvox), fluoxetine (Prozac), and sertraline (Zoloft), among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.
Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
