When to Consider Referring

Therapists often come to us when they have a client who has:

  • 6+ months of weekly ERP with minimal improvement
  • Severe OCD (Y-BOCS 24+) with significant functional impairment
  • OCD that has worsened or spread to new subtypes despite treatment
  • Client motivation is high but weekly format isn’t providing enough repetition
  • Client can commit to 3 weeks of intensive in-person treatment

Even when therapists are doing everything right, sometimes a higher level of care can provide the boost they need to get unstuck.

What the Three Weeks Looks Like

Our intensive program is 45 hours of individual therapy over 3 weeks. There are no group sessions or quick check-ins, it is all one-on-one for the full three hours, every day.

Here is a breakdown of the program timeline:

Pre-IOP – Assessment

  • Before doing our IOP, we start with an assessment to get an idea of the types and sub-types of OCD or anxiety the client is experiencing. We use our proprietary OCD Recovery Assessment to map everything before treatment begins.  We also make sure those who are interested are a good fit for what we offer and that they feel like it is a good fit for what they are looking for.

Week 1 – Tools & Hierarchy Building

  • We start with a deep dive into the client’s OCD presentation including subtypes, severity, stuck points, and compulsion patterns.  We provide psychoeducation on where and why OCD is happening for them and build an exposure hierarchy to work on.  We also give them the tools and skills they need for when they are engaging in exposures.  Once the clients have the necessary tools and knowledge, we start working on ERP.

Week 2 – Intensive Exposure Work

  •  Week 2 involves full daily ERP sessions, in-office and community-based exposures, and home visits. This is where the real work happens including the repetition and the extended exposure sessions that weekly, hour-long sessions aren’t able to provide.

Week 3 – Integration & Relapse Prevention

  • In the final week we focus on recovery and consistency to protect against relapse once the program is complete. We build a maintenance plan with the client and prepare them for their return to weekly therapy with their existing therapist (you).  With your support they can continue the progress they made.  We can also collaborate care with you to ensure the continuity of care is in place when they return.

Your Client Returns to Your Care

Our program only three weeks and then your client goes home and back to you for ongoing weekly support.

Our goal is for your client to reach a place in their recovery where you can continue the great work you were doing, and for your client to truly benefit from your efforts.  We are not your competition and instead, our hope is to help the client improve to a place where they are once again able to make true, efficient progress when in your care.

Most referring therapists find that their client returns from the intensive in a fundamentally different place. The groundwork you laid is still there, but the intensive care provided over our three week program helps them use the tools you provide much better after having practiced so much in the three weeks.

We actively encourage clients to maintain their relationship with their referring therapist. We’ll send you a clinical summary (with client consent) and coordinate on aftercare goals.

Not Looking for an IOP?

All therapists have their specialties and we understand when therapists come to us in need of specialized care for their clients who are experiencing more mild to moderate symptoms of OCD or anxiety.  We also offer weekly sessions that clients can do while still seeing their existing therapist provided we are treating different diagnoses.  We can collaborate care (with the clients consent) to ensure the client is getting support for all their needs.

By utilizing evidence-based therapies like CBT and ERP, these programs provide individuals with the tools and support our clients need to manage their symptoms and achieve long-term recovery in a weekly or an IOP format.

Not Local?

When it comes to finding a higher level of care, finding OCD specialists in your area can be a challenge.  We have clients come from all over the country and all over the world to do our Intensive Outpatient Program.

We may be a bit biased but between the beaches, restaurants, parks, and events in the city and nearby areas, Newport Beach is a wonderful place to visit. We are located 20 minutes from the ocean and our space and our staff are warm and inviting so all our clients feel at home even when home might be far away.

We are located near an airport so there are numerous places to stay near our facility, but our program does not include a supportive housing component so clients do need to be able to live on their own or with the help of a loved one while attending our program.

About Our Intensive Treatment Program

OCD intensive treatment programs for adults offer a comprehensive and specialized approach to help individuals effectively manage and overcome Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and anxiety. These programs are designed to provide intensive therapy and support to individuals who are struggling with severe to extreme symptoms.

It is important to note that our intensive program is one-on-one between the client and the therapist for the entirety of the program.  This allows us to create an individualized treatment plan for each of our clients and adjust it based on how the client is progressing and what treatments are proving most effective.

At our OCD treatment center, we use exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and other treatment modalities such as our More Than ERP™ and More Than CBT™ framework, along with other evidence-based interventions tailored specifically to each individual’s needs.

Meet Our Team

Even though there are millions of people living with the condition, most people living with it will feel all alone. Like they are the only ones that recognize how debilitating the condition can become.

People with OCD experience intrusive thoughts, or obsessions, that can be extremely distressing. In order to try to cope with these thoughts, they may engage in compulsions, which are repetitive behaviors that they often feel compelled to do.

As a result of the individual impact of suffering with OCD, the World Health Organization has placed OCD in the top 10 most debilitating worldwide conditions.
