Dr. Patrick B. McGrath, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of OCD treatment experience, joins Alegra to talk about the intersection of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Substance Use Disorders (SUD). It’s an important conversation and one that is not had enough given the prevalence of these co-occurring conditions. Studies have shown that about 25% of people with OCD also live with a substance use disorder.

Dr. Patrick McGrath discusses the relationship between OCD and substance use disorders, treating both conditions concurrently, barriers people with co-occurring OCD & SUD face, and more.
