ocdsucks replied to your post “i have a “consultation” for intensive ocd treatment on Thursday and i...”
what is intensive treatment like? is it similar to inpatient?
usually it means a treatment that is 3 times a week for approximately 4 hours, usually at night, but in this case it means a lot of outpatient therapy. Idk why this place is using it in this way instead of the traditional, but they do.
more on traditional IOP When individuals are in need of a structured setting in which to work towards overcoming symptoms of mental health, behavioral health, and/or substance abuse concerns, they may find benefits from engaging in an intensive outpatient program (IOP). This treatment option allows individuals to receive thorough treatment that fully addresses their needs in a less restrictive environment than that which is offered in partial hospitalization programming (PHP), inpatient treatment, or residential care. Yet, it provides a more structured therapeutic setting than that which is typically offered in a traditional outpatient setting.
