This week, Sara and Morgan are joined by Dr. Patrick McGrath, the Chief Clinical Officer at NOCD, to discuss the significant overlap between SUD and OCD because individuals often use substances as a way to cope with their compulsions. Listeners will gain insights into the gaps in treatment for people with co-occurring disorders, and how substance use counselors and mental health professionals can work together to treat people with OCD.
