This is a space for information on/for the Special Interest Group (SIG) for OCD/SUD community.  This includes those with OCD/SUD, those who provide treatment, researchers, and those who are in their lives – family and friends. We share resources, work to increase awareness, and advocate for concurrent treatment. Most of all we want those with OCD & SUD to know you are not alone and recovery is possible.

SIG Leadership:

Stacey C. Conroy LICSW, MPH - in Recovery SUD/PTSD/OCD
Patrick McGrath PhD

Accomplishments:

  • IOCDF treatment locator now has an option to find providers who can treat OCD and SUD.
  • 2 articles in IOCDF newsletter, on our website ocdsud.com
  • 2 IOCDF Town Halls on SUD & OCD on IOCDF YouTube channel and ocdsud.com

Current and/or Future Initiatives:

  • Monthly webinars specific to OCD/SUD with NOCD on the 2nd Monday of each month 8PM EST & 7 PM CST. Join live to have your questions answered or watch when you can on YouTube.
  • We want to increase blog posts. If you’d like to write one reach out for guidelines.
  • Annual meeting at the IOCDF in-person conference (time/day TBD)
  • If you know of an OCD/SID resource let us know so we can add it to our website - we welcome resources and want to get the word out on new ones. Though we have a few specialized treatment options listed, the IOCDF is the best option for listing your practice.
