Levels of OCD Treatment Explained

Most people think OCD treatment is just meeting with a therapist once or twice a week. But what happens when that’s not enough?


In this episode of the Get to Know OCD podcast, Dr. Patrick McGrath sits down with Lori Johnson — a clinician who has worked in every level of care, from inpatient hospitals to outpatient therapy. They explain what “higher levels of care” really mean, including intensive outpatient programs (IOP), partial hospitalization programs (PHP), and residential treatment. Lori shares her journey from working in addiction centers to leading OCD programs, and explains how these different options give people the support they need without always requiring a hospital stay.
