Description:

The Gateway Institute proudly sets itself apart from other OCD centers by specializing in treatment programs tailored to each individual client providing one-on-one treatment and offering 24-hour support. Our intensive outpatient treatment program treats the unique needs of each client understanding that “one size does not fit all.” Clients learn strategies for lifelong management of OCD by identifying tools, and behaviors to support their emergence from the cycle of compulsions. We guide clients to identify their own strengths and enable them to overcome symptoms and provide a post-treatment program that utilizes identified skills and abilities for lifelong management of symptoms.

Our intensive program is a 3-week, 45-hour program that incorporates the most effective approaches available for OCD treatment. Throughout treatment, 24-hour support is provided as well as family education. The IOP also incorporates a 6-week relapse prevention plan.

The Gateway Institute offers many years’ experience treating anxiety disorders and trauma, and brings many resources to the therapeutic relationship to help you meet your goals, including ERP, EMDR for trauma and PTSD, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). The Gateway Institute offers a free assessment to discuss how we can help you.
