OPPOSITIONAL DEFIANT DISORDER
Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is commonly thought of as a mental health problem in children and adolescents, characterized by defiant or disobedient behavior toward authority figures. However, when undiagnosed or untreated, ODD symptoms can follow a person into adulthood. Lashing out at college professors or employers, getting into trouble with law enforcement—over something as simple as a traffic violation or even just arguing with others for no real reason. There are countless scenarios in which ODD could have devastating consequences on the people it affects.
The good news? Treatment for ODD isn’t just possible, it’s what the experts at Growth Extended do every day. Our comprehensive ODD treatment program addresses the underlying biological, genetic and environmental factors that may be related to the onset of this illness. Every client who walks through our doors gets an individualized treatment plan to help them manage ODD and live a more fulfilling life.
Does ODD Treatment Work?
This is a valid question, and it could be something you’re asking yourself right now. The answer? Yes, treatment for ODD can work, especially when you find a program that makes sense for you.
