Treatment for Adolescents with OCD
The Anxiety and Panic Treatment Center is also starting a one week intensive
treatment program for adolescents with OCD. Even in the Portland area
there are surprisingly few options available for Cognitive Behavioral
treatment for adolescents with OCD, and virtually no treatment options
for adolescents in the rest of the state. To address this need we have
developed a one week intensive treatment option based on a program developed
by Stephen Whiteside, PhD, of the Mayo Clinic. The program consists of
ten treatment session delivered twice per day over a five day period and
has been shown to produce significant improvement in adolescents with
OCD. Since the program requires clients to be available for five days
in a row, out of town clients will need to find accommodations in the
Portland area and we will be happy to assist with that process.
