ODD is a childhood disorder but may persist into adulthood and lead to adverse impacts on work, relationships, and overall quality of life. ODD is mainly diagnosed in children, but the symptoms may persist into adulthood and lead to poor functioning at work and other areas. Without adequate support, adolescents with ODD will have poor ways of handling stress, handling authority, and relating with other people.
At Orlando Treatment Solutions, we know that treatment for ODD in adults requires a different approach than in children because the symptoms are worse and more complex. This program is to assist individuals in understanding the causes of oppositional behavior and modifying behavior so that they can learn to have healthier relations, better emotional control, and happier lives.

As is common with ODD, the symptoms may differ from one individual to another, but they include excessive stubbornness, acting out, and easily getting angry. People with ODD are easily angered, confront authority, and may have persistent feelings of irritation that affect their work and interpersonal relationships. Common triggers can include situations that require compromise or following instructions, leading to feelings of powerlessness or frustration. If ODD is not treated, it can lead to impairments in relationships, and academic/work functioning, and can increase the risk of developing depression and anxiety disorders.
In adulthood, symptoms of ODD manifest in relations with other people and especially in places that demand following the rules. Symptoms may include:
- Continual opposition to authority and regulations
- Disputes with parents or other adults, as well as with close people
- Anger management and irritability problems
- A tendency to put the cause of his or her problems or failures on other people.
Some ways can help to reduce the symptoms of ODD and manage the problem in adult age with professional assistance.
Personalized Assessment and Treatment Plans
Each of the patients that come to our program goes through an initial evaluation to determine the current state of the patient as well as the goals and problems that he or she has. At Orlando Treatment Solutions, our team of professionals develops the treatment plan that best suits the client’s history, goals, and overall life situation to manage the symptoms of ODD while improving the client’s future outlook.
In the process of assessment, our therapists help to uncover causes of oppositional behaviors which may include unresolved feelings, past trauma, or or ineffective coping mechanisms. Thus, identifying these core problems, we establish a specific course of action for each client, which includes certain methods to help him or her develop, learn to be aware of one’s feelings, and learn to control them.
Effective Treatment Options for ODD
In the ODD treatment plan, we offer the most effective methodologies designed to address oppositional and defiant symptoms in adults. Here is a brief of the therapies we use to assist our clients in controlling their feelings, reducing stress, and improving communication patterns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy:
CBT is one of the best methods of dealing with the behavioral and emotional aspects of ODD. This therapy aims at making the client identify and transform the negative thoughts that lead to anger, defiance, and frustration. When clients learn to recognize these patterns and learn to change them with positive thoughts then they are able to handle challenging situations and curb aggressive behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy:
DBT helps the patient learn how to handle his or her feelings and how to relate to other people. This therapy is especially helpful for anger control issues because mindfulness, tolerance to distress, and emotional management are encouraged. Through the practice of DBT techniques, clients get to be in a better position to handle conflicts as they work towards ensuring that they have good emotional balance and can manage their emotions well.
Anger Management Training:
Anger is usually one of the most dominant symptoms of ODD. Our program helps clients identify when they are starting to become angry and offers them healthier ways of responding. Mastery of these techniques may enhance individuals’ communication and decrease the likelihood of conflicts making relations more harmonious and decreasing aggression levels.
Individual Therapy:
Individual therapy sessions can be most helpful for the client to discuss and reflect on his or her experience and concerns in a confidential, supportive setting. These sessions are focused on solving certain problems that a person may encounter in work, or in family, for instance, and provide recommendations on how to cope with ODD symptoms. While in individual counseling, the clients get an understanding of themselves and how they ought to behave in certain circumstances.
Group Therapy:
Group therapy is an important treatment in which patients can discuss their problems and acquire new strategies for dealing with them from their peers. Being around people with similar issues can make them feel like they are not alone, and it also makes them more accountable. Group sessions allow for the person to receive new ideas and information, as well as, receive feedback from others, while practicing social skills in a controlled environment.
