"We
couldn't believe how fast (our son's) recovery progressed. Because
he was willing to work hard and had been given the right tools,
he was able to break his dependence on rituals."

The
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Center has served over 400 patients,
with over 90 percent of them significantly reducing their symptoms
to a much more manageable level. Each patient's treatment plan
is individualized, but all plans use exposure and ritual prevention
(ERP) therapy which was developed from cognitive behavioral therapy.
For some patients, the most efficient and effective treatment
for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a combination of ERP
and medications that have been found to be helpful with OCD.
The
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Center offers two levels of care:
Residential
Program
The residential obsessive-compulsive disorder program provides
intensive treatment for severe and difficult to treat cases of
OCD. This program combines a home-like environment with 24 hour
per day staffing. The goal for the stay is a significant reduction
in OCD symptoms and reintegration into the community. An approximate
length of stay is 60 days. Residential care is cost-effective
treatment that is an alternative to either inpatient or outpatient
care.
The
Partial Hospitalization Program
The obsessive-compulsive disorder partial hospitalization program
provides intensive treatment for moderate to severe cases of
OCD. Following a detailed assessment, individuals are seen Monday
through Thursday, 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., for an average of
three consecutive weeks. The program's goal is to reduce OCD
symptoms to a manageable level. The cost of the program is covered
by most insurance companies.
