Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is usually extremely distressing and sometimes incapacitating, interfering with work, family and interpersonal relationships. Traditional psychotherapy is ineffective in treating OCD.
OCD can usually be effectively treated in an outpatient treatment modality. The OCD center at WPIC provides the recommended combination of behavioral therapy (Exposure with Response Prevention) and medication treatment. In cases where symptoms are more severe, or after failing to improve significantly through outpatient treatment, referral to the Intensive Outpatient Program is indicated.
The OCD Intensive Out-Patient treatment programs provide group,
individual and family therapy in a concentrated manner, 3 hours
daily, 3 days per week. The average length of treatment at the
intensive treatment program is 4 to 6 weeks. Clients are assigned
a primary therapist who works closely with them on behavioral
exposures to the feared obsessions. Clients learn to work on
their own as they progress with exposures to acquire the ability
to work without the direct support of a therapist, to perform
homework exposures and follow-up with less intensive outpatient
treatment.
Intensive treatment programs are available in the morning or
afternoon, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. There are plans to develop
a Tuesday evening program for people unable to attend during
the day.
Anxiety Disorders including Phobias, Social Anxiety, Generalized Anxiety, and Panic Disorder are also treated at the OCD/Anxiety treatment center. Cognitive behavioral therapy, often combined with medication treatment, is the most effective therapy for Anxiety Disorders. Anxiety Disorders can be treated in an outpatient or intensive outpatient format at the center.
