OCD Program
Camden Center’s Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Program provides comprehensive, evidence-based treatment for OCD administered by expert clinicians specializing in the treatment of this condition.
The gold standard treatment for OCD is a form of psychotherapy called Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and this is the foundation of treatment in Camden Center’s OCD Program.
ERP Therapy with a trained psychologist
Because ERP is a time-intensive treatment, most programs providing ERP only involve a clinician in the planning of ERP and use interns or non-clinical staff to perform most of the ERP work.
At Camden Center, each patient in our OCD Program receives ERP exclusively from a psychologist who serves as their primary therapist and both plans and performs all ERP work with the patient.
Patients meet individually with their primary psychologist multiple times per week. This permits the development of a strong relationship built on consistency and trust which we have found greatly improves the efficacy of the treatment.
In addition to ERP, patients in Camden Center’s OCD Program meet weekly with a psychiatrist for medication management and also have access to numerous other medical, psychotherapeutic, and somatic treatments that are selected specifically for them based upon their presentation and history.
Personalized OCD Treatment Plan
While ERP is highly effective in the treatment of OCD symptoms, most patients with OCD also struggle with other symptoms, including depression and anxiety, and often require a combination of additional treatments in order to fully recover.
Each patient in our OCD Program undergoes a comprehensive, multidisciplinary assessment and receives a unique, personalized treatment plan that in addition to ERP will include any other treatment modalities needed to help them recover from their current symptoms and address underlying issues. These additional treatments can include:
- Psychiatry
- Primary medical care
- A broad range of individual psychotherapies
- Family therapy
- Coaching
- Integrative medicine
Participants in Camden Center’s OCD Program also have access to all of the other resources at Camden Center, and if needed may participate in our Comprehensive DBT Program, Addictions Program, Women’s Healing and Wellness Program, or Eos LGBTQIA+ Program.
Every patient at Camden Center is viewed as a whole person, and patients in our OCD Program not only receive world-class treatment for OCD but build a foundation for lasting stability and well-being.
