HOSPITAL AND UNIVERSITY-BASED TREATMENT PROGRAMS
Experts agree that the great majority of individuals with OCD can almost always be treated successfully with weekly Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy sessions. The key is to find a qualified therapist trained in the "Exposure and Response Prevention" techniques that are the cornerstone of effective treatment. However, there are some individuals for whom the disorder is so disabling that intensive, hospital-based treatment is recommended. Most of the following medical centers are affiliated with major universities, and each offers intensive day-treatment and/or residential programs for those with severe, treatment-resistant OCD, OC Spectrum Disorders, and/or related anxiety disorders. Additionally, many of these programs also conduct research, and are often looking for individuals willing to participate in studies related to these disorders.
