What is ODD in Adulthood?
ODD is a childhood disorder, but it does not mean that it cannot affect adults; it affects their lives, relationships, and jobs. In ODD, adults are often described as being angry, resentful, and easily annoyed by others, and may have frequent outright confrontations with family members, teachers, or bosses. These challenges can cause problems in the personal and working life, thus it is important to find professional help to improve the quality of life. At DeLand Treatment Solutions, we appreciate the differences in ODD in adults and offer treatment tailored to this particular disorder.

Treatment Options
ODD can be treated at DeLand Treatment Solutions and our treatment program is commonly designed for adults. In our practice, we use different types of therapy to tackle the problems that occur with adult ODD and to help clients achieve behavioral and emotional balance. Our treatment options include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy:
CBT is one of the main treatments of ODD and assists clients in recognizing and altering negative thoughts that cause resistant and hostile behaviors. In CBT clients are helped to identify patterns of situations that lead them to have negative thoughts and feelings, the negative thoughts and beliefs that follow, and ways of shifting these thoughts to more positive ones. This therapy also involves learning real-life problem-solving skills that are useful in anger management and preventing aggressive behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy:
DBT is most helpful for clients with difficulties in managing emotions. This therapy provides clients with skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance to help them manage situations that may have previously resulted in a dysregulated response. Through DBT skills, clients with ODD can learn how to control their feelings and how to solve interpersonal problems.
Anger Management Techniques:
One of the symptoms of ODD is the propensity to get angry. Some of the techniques that we have used in our program include; anger management techniques to teach clients how to cope with their anger without causing an uproar. People are encouraged to recognize early signs of anger and their practical ways of handling it to help them relate well with other people.
Individual Therapy:
Individual therapy allows the client to work through difficulties and the root causes of the symptoms in an ODD client. Commonly during these sessions, patients engage the therapist in a process of identifying and formulating plans for how to handle anger, defiance, and irritability in various facets of life.
Group Therapy:
In group work, people get to be with other people who are struggling with the same issues that they are. It is because this environment fosters an aspect of patients’ sharing of their experiences, rehearsing new skills, and even learning from other patient’s experiences. The therapeutic group helps to form a supportive environment and promote the feeling of responsibility, which is particularly helpful for ODD patients.
