The Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Program is an intensive inpatient program offered throughout the year. Particular expertise exists within this program, which is the only such intensive treatment available in Australia. The program is modelled on successful intervention programs developed in the United States and the United Kingdom.

 

A multi-disciplinary approach is undertaken in this two week inpatient program with particular emphasis placed on employing cognitive behavioural therapy strategies. These include psychoeducational, exposure response prevention, mindfulness and relapse prevention.

 

After discharge, the Outreach Program provides mental health treatment through individual visits conducted in the home or community.
