When looking for the right help there are many treatment options available. Treatment for OCD includes self-help options, outpatient therapy, intensive outpatient therapy and residential treatment centers. In this section, you will find a few videos discussing finding the right help and a list of residential treatment programs. In addition, you will find links to both a treatment provider search and a support group search through the International OCD Foundation website.
Self-Help Options
OCD Challenge
OCD Challenge is a free online, interactive, behavioral program designed to help people suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. The program was built by psychologists who are leaders in the field of behavior therapy and have a specialization in the area of OCD. OCD Challenge has three Modules: Assessment, Gaining Awareness and Intervention. Users will be guided through the Modules and taught skills and strategies for managing their OCD behavior. OCD Challenge uses the principles of exposure and response prevention (the treatment of choice for OCD) to help the user to confront and challenge their OCD. OCD Challenge is not therapy and there is not a therapist on the other end of the computer telling you what to do. Instead, OCD Challenge is a program built to interact with the user in a way that is interesting, useful, and moves the user toward change. OCDChallenge.com
OCD Workbooks
There are several self-help workbook options. Upon request, the Peace of Mind Foundation will mail a workbook to those that cannot afford to purchase a book. Please email request to info@peaceofmind.com
