Intensive Treatment Program Interviews
Over the past several years, the OCF has conducted OCD newsletter interviews with the medical directors of leading OCD intensive treatment programs ("ITP"). Unlike typical OCD clinics, these ITP facilities are highly focused, and most often, residential. The latest techniques in treating OCD spectrum disorders are employed. When nothing else seems to work, these ITP programs are cited for getting the best, longest-lasting results, in a concentrated period of time.
Listed below are some of the best of these ITP interviews available in downladeable PDF format. Some of these articles contain additional information about that specific program that may be of interest if you're considering intensive and/or specialized treatment for seemingly "treatment-resistant" OCD.
