I had a co-worker some years ago had serious OCD, at that time those things were just starting to get recognized. His wife eventually left him and took the kids and ultimately it cost him his job. I wondered how he kept his home and someone told me they thought his family was paying his mortgage because they didn't want him back. He got in trouble with the law I heard, shoplifting or something like that which is fairly common with people like that. Here's the thing, he didn't think he had a problem. I have a younger brother, he just turned 60, he's been in and out of jail/prison most of his adult life, substance abuse has been a big part of that but he also has ADHD/ADD but refuses to admit he has a problem, will not take medication and will not go to any substance abuse programs. You can't help people who don't want to be helped or won't recognize there is a problem.
