Despite the established benefits of behavior therapy and medication treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), not all OCD sufferers experience significant symptom reduction following outpatient treatment. Short-term OCD residential treatment facilities were established to provide a treatment option for those considered treatment-resistant or treatment-refractory. This article describes three specialized OCD residential treatment programs currently available in the United States. It compares similarities and differences across the programs, and it compares residential treatment to intensive day treatment as well as outpatient treatment.

KEY WORDS: obsessive-compulsive disorder, residential treatment, exposure and response prevention, partial hospitalization
