Intensive Treatment Program

The Intensive Treatment Program is a good fit for anyone 16 or older who would benefit from additional support in treatment. This could be because you struggle to follow through with exposure assignments. It might be because your OCD is severe enough that you can’t quite make progress on your own. Maybe you’ve been considering residential treatment, but you’d like something less disruptive. Or maybe you have other problems - depression, ADHD, etc. - which interfere with treatment.

Our intensive treatment typically lasts anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks, though the duration may be longer or shorter depending on your needs. The length of treatment will always be discussed collaboratively with you.

Intensive treatment usually means having multiple sessions per week. This allows us to offer additional support, by practicing ERP in session and making more frequent adjustments as we go along. We often encourage family involvement, as it can be important to ensure that the people in your life know how to offer effective support.

Our intensive treatment program is a little bit different than our regular treatment — we use a treatment team approach. You’ll have a lead clinician, but will also work with other team members throughout the treatment process. This allows us to increase session frequency and fold in additional perspectives to your care.

After your initial assessment, we’ll work together to formulate a treatment plan. This will include an estimate for the cost of treatment, which will vary depending on the frequency of sessions and length of treatment. The cost for a typical session in the Intensive Treatment Program is $195.

Bull City Anxiety & OCD Treatment Center is not contracted with insurance, but we can offer a superbill for you to submit to your insurance provider for out-of-network reimbursement. The best way to know what your insurance will cover is to inquire with them directly.

Participants in the Intensive Program, whether virtual or in-person, must be in the state of North Carolina. If you would like to travel to NC for the program, the nearby Marriott has offered a discount for program participants.

That’s up to you and your treatment team! Some people may feel that they’ve made enough progress to discontinue treatment entirely. Others may wish to “step down” by continuing treatment at a lower frequency. Mostly commonly, this would mean working with an individual therapist from your team on a weekly basis.

You can get started by completing our intake screener. Someone from our team will reach out to go over details, schedule an initial assessment, and get you on your way!
