Camp Courage: PHP and IOP for Children and Adolescents Suffering from OCD, Anxiety, or Related Disorders
Child and Adolescent OCD - PHP Program Structure:
Our Child and Adolescent PHP program for OCD begins with a thorough family and individual orientation where patients and families learn about the components of treatment at Thrive Wellness and the specific providers on their treatment team. Each family/individual is assigned the following treatment team:
- Care Coordinator
- Psychotherapist trained in Exposure and Response Prevention
- Psychiatrist
- Internal Medicine Provider (if/as medical necessity indicates)
- Licensed Registered Dietitian (if/as medical necessity indicates)
- Occupational Therapist (if/as medical necessity indicates)
PHP provides 6 hours per day of treatment, 5 days per week, and includes 3.5 hours per day of individualized exposure work. All therapeutic activities are led and supervised by a multidisciplinary staff of OCD specialists ranging from master’s level therapists to Medical Doctors.
Discharge planning and care coordination development begin on day one through the care coordination team and include offering families and individuals a step-down plan for OCD child and adolescent IOP, then ongoing weekly therapeutic outpatient ERP-based therapy support, psychiatric support, and when necessary, dietetics and medical support. Ongoing follow-up care post OCD child and adolescent PHP may be through Thrive Wellness’ integrated outpatient programs or a local treatment team of the family’s choice.
Both McLean Hospital in Boston and Rogers Behavioral Health Hospital offer an ERP and ACT-based treatment model and demonstrate an extremely high rate of efficacy. Until now, children and adolescents in the Northern Nevada area would have to travel out of state to access a facility that could provide this type of specialized program. Our goal is to create greater access to care for those who need these unique services. We aim to increase accessibility to child and adolescent OCD treatment with a family/caregiver-intensive component. We are proud to be able to provide this unique program locally.
