Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT works on what an OCD ritual is believed to prevent. Each belief gets tested against what happens when the ritual is delayed.

OCD Treatment Center in Lantana, FL
Olympic Behavioral Health treats obsessive-compulsive disorder at its OCD treatment center, 3618 Lantana Road in Lantana, Florida, 12 miles south of West Palm Beach, serving Palm Beach County.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is obsessions and compulsions taking more than one hour a day, which is the DSM-5 diagnostic threshold.
Our DCF-licensed, JCAHO-accredited OCD therapy pairs cognitive behavioral therapy with structured exposure work for adults aged 18 to 65, at partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP) and outpatient (OP). A certified family nurse practitioner reviews medication on site, and the target is the hours the rituals have taken.
If you are thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. It answers at any hour.

What Olympic Behavioral Health Counts as OCD Progress
Olympic Behavioral Health counts progress in OCD treatment as time given back to the day, not as sessions attended. This OCD treatment center admits adults aged 18 to 65 across three outpatient levels.
The one-hour DSM-5 threshold is a floor, not an average. Ruscio and colleagues' 2010 analysis of the National Comorbidity Survey Replication, published in Molecular Psychiatry, puts the average at 5.9 hours a day taken by obsessions and 4.6 hours a day spent on compulsions. Olympic Behavioral Health writes each OCD plan against the hours a client actually reports, not against the threshold.
OCD moved out of the anxiety disorders chapter in 2013 into Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders. The distinction is practical, because worry answers to one set of methods and OCD rituals answer to another.
Olympic Behavioral Health runs three outpatient levels so the hours of OCD treatment match the hours the compulsions hold.
The Themes People Do Not Know Are OCD
Pick the ClosestMost people know the washing and the checking. The rest go unnamed for years, usually because they feel too shameful to say out loud to anybody. Pick whichever is closest and see what it actually is.
Which of these is nearest to yours?
Unwanted thoughts about harm
Detail appears here.
What it is not. Appears here.
What the work is aimed at. Appears here.
This is information, not reassurance. Reading it once is useful. Coming back to re-read it until it feels settled is the compulsion itself, and that loop is what the work here is aimed at. Nothing is scored, nothing is timed, and no hours are counted.
These themes are what a first individual session maps out on the outpatient track in Lantana. Nothing here is a diagnosis. Anyone thinking about harming themselves should call or text 988, which reaches the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at any hour.
Admission Criteria
Adults Olympic Behavioral Health Admits Into OCD Treatment
Olympic Behavioral Health admits adults aged 18 to 65 into OCD treatment after a phone assessment and clinical review, and requires medical stability at the outpatient level. The assessment establishes how much of the day compulsions hold.
The National Institute of Mental Health's "Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder" statistics put past-year prevalence among United States adults at 1.2 percent on data collected from 2001 to 2003, and record serious impairment in 50.6 percent of those cases. Olympic Behavioral Health accepts adults into OCD treatment on any of these five patterns:
- ✓Spend over an hour a day checking, washing, counting, or reviewing
- ✓Arrive late because a sequence has to finish first
- ✓Put the same question to family and need the answer repeated
- ✓Need a specific order followed before leaving the house
- ✓Drink or use to get through the day's worst stretch
Say the Part You Have Never Said
A phone assessment for OCD treatment costs nothing and settles the level of care in about 30 minutes.
The First Month
What Changes in the First Month of OCD Therapy
The first month of OCD therapy maps the rituals before it interrupts any of them. Every level carries weekly individual therapy of 50 minutes to 1 hour plus daily groups, and Olympic Behavioral Health assigns the primary therapist who holds the OCD case through every level change on the day of admission.
Client and therapist write down which compulsions run, when each one runs, and what each is meant to prevent, because a plan built on guesswork comes apart in week three. Structured exposure work begins once that map exists, in an order agreed in advance. Three fixtures run through every OCD month here:
- ✓Intake screening for depression, substance use, and trauma symptoms alongside the OCD symptoms
- ✓Daily OCD group therapy on the mental health track, kept separate from the substance abuse groups
- ✓Medication reviewed on site by a certified family nurse practitioner
Levels of Care
Choosing Between OCD IOP, PHP and Weekly Counseling
Level follows the hours. Olympic Behavioral Health places each OCD client at partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, or outpatient, and average length of stay at the two intensive levels runs 30 to 45 days. OCD treatment centers publish programs, and the question on a first call is which of these three the week can absorb.
| Level of Care | Hours per Week | Schedule | Clinical Content | Admission Profile |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OCD PHP, Partial Hospitalization | 30+ hours | Seven days. Weekdays 9 AM to 3:30 PM, weekends 10 AM to 1 PM | Daily groups, individual sessions, psychiatric review, family therapy | Rituals hold most of the waking day |
| OCD IOP, Intensive Outpatient | 9 to 12 hours | Monday to Saturday, 9 AM to 12 PM | Morning groups, weekly individual therapy, medication management | Working, with evenings going to routines |
| OP, Outpatient OCD Counseling | 4 hours | One 3-hour group each week | Group work, coping skills, relapse prevention | Stepping down, or a lighter entry point |
When drinking became part of the routine. Alcohol used to quiet intrusive thoughts meets criteria for a co-occurring disorder, and those OCD clients enter the dual diagnosis treatment track at Olympic Behavioral Health on one plan.
Describe the Theme, Not the Ritual
Same-day admission at Olympic Behavioral Health is available when admission criteria are met, with next-day admission as the alternative.
Evidence-Based Therapies
CBT, DBT and Exposure Work in Our OCD Program
Six methods run in the OCD program: cognitive behavioral therapy, structured exposure work, DBT skills training, group therapy, neurofeedback with mindfulness, and family therapy. Olympic Behavioral Health names only the methods its own clinicians deliver, and the sequence is set after the rituals are mapped rather than before.
Structured Exposure Work
OCD exposure work approaches a trigger in a planned order agreed beforehand. Nothing gets sprung on a client, and the primary therapist sets the sequence.
DBT Skills Training
Distress tolerance covers the gap between an OCD urge and the ritual that answers it. Skills training lengthens that gap.
OCD Group Therapy
The OCD group runs daily on the mental health track. Reassurance-seeking loses its supply in a room where everyone knows the request.
Neurofeedback and Mindfulness
Neurofeedback targets the arousal that keeps OCD intrusive thoughts loud. Mindfulness training runs as a separate group on the mental health track.
Family Therapy
Households join in the OCD rituals to keep the peace, and family accommodation is what the work targets. Family sessions run weekly as needed, and a relatives meeting fills Monday evening from 7 PM to 9 PM on Zoom.
Anyone wanting a clinician credentialed in a specific named OCD protocol should raise it on the first Olympic Behavioral Health assessment call.
Diagnoses Admitted
Treating OCD and Alcohol Use on One Plan
One plan covers every diagnosis a client arrives with, and the National Comorbidity Survey Replication put lifetime comorbidity in OCD at 90 percent. Olympic Behavioral Health names each active condition on that plan under one primary therapist.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Substance use disorders appear in 38.6 percent of lifetime OCD cases. A Florida DCF license covering mental health and substance abuse permits one plan at Olympic Behavioral Health instead of two providers.
Anxiety Treatment
Anxiety disorders appear in 75.8 percent of lifetime OCD cases, which is why generalized anxiety disorder and OCD are named as separate diagnoses at intake rather than treated as one.
Depression Treatment
Mood disorders appear in 63.3 percent of lifetime OCD cases. Olympic Behavioral Health treats depression as its own diagnosis on the OCD plan rather than as a side effect of the compulsions.
Trauma Treatment
OCD presentations sitting alongside post-traumatic symptoms are assessed for both. Every incoming client receives a trauma assessment, and that assessment sets the route.
Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Alcohol used to quiet intrusive thoughts is named as its own diagnosis rather than as an OCD symptom. Admission requires medical stability, so anyone needing medically supervised withdrawal is referred out first.
Substance Use Treatment
Any substance used to get through the day's worst stretch is named on the OCD plan at intake. Substance abuse groups run separately from the mental health track, and a client carrying both diagnoses attends both.
Olympic Behavioral Health treats adults only, so anyone under 18 needing OCD care is referred to a service equipped for them.
Insurance and Cost
Which Plans Cover OCD Treatment, and What You Pay
Which plan you hold decides the route: TRICARE runs in network at Olympic Behavioral Health and every other payer runs on out-of-network PPO benefits. The payable figure comes back before admission, not after the first week, and OCD treatment bills as an outpatient behavioral health benefit.
OCD treatment cost tracks two things: the level of care a clinician sets, and the deductible still outstanding. Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, UMR, GEHA, Humana, and Anthem are accepted on out-of-network PPO benefits. Olympic Behavioral Health returns the OCD figure before intake, at no charge and with no obligation to admit.
INSURANCES WE ACCEPTTRICARE is the only in-network plan. Every other payer named covers OCD treatment as an out-of-network PPO benefit. Olympic Behavioral Health does not accept Medicaid or Medicare.

Why Olympic Behavioral Health
What Daily Structure Adds to an OCD Treatment Plan
Daily structure adds three things a weekly appointment cannot: the hours themselves, with partial hospitalization running more than thirty a week, a prescriber under the same roof, and a room that will not answer the reassurance question. Olympic Behavioral Health builds all three into every OCD treatment plan.
Hours That Match the Rituals
Outpatient runs 4 hours a week and partial hospitalization more than 30, so the level of OCD treatment follows the hours the rituals take.
A Prescriber On Site for OCD
Olympic Behavioral Health keeps a certified family nurse practitioner on site for OCD medication review, with psychiatrist referrals available, rather than sending the question outside.
Dually Licensed, One OCD Plan
The DCF license covers mental health and substance abuse, which permits one plan where drinking joined the OCD pattern.
A Room That Does Not Reassure
Groups run daily, so an OCD client is with other people the week they are admitted.
One OCD Therapist Throughout
The primary therapist assigned at intake stays through each step down, so the OCD map gets built once.
Referrals After OCD Discharge
Discharge planning names a psychiatrist for medication and a therapist for continuing OCD work, so nobody leaves without both.
Admissions
What Olympic Behavioral Health Will Not Ask You to Describe
Nobody has to describe the content of an intrusive thought to enter OCD treatment. The assessment records how long the rituals run and what they cost, and that sets the level of care.
1
Call or Submit the Form
Olympic Behavioral Health admissions staff ask how the day is structured now and how much of it the OCD rituals hold. A relative can make the call as readily as the client.
2
Benefits Checked at No Charge
A benefit check returns the payable amount at all three OCD levels. It obligates nobody and takes minutes.
3
Phone Assessment
Hours, daily function, work, drinking, and psychiatric history are recorded by phone. The clinical director approves each OCD admission and sets the entry level.
4
Intake and Screening
Paperwork and a belongings check come first, then the OCD intake screen covers depression, substance use and trauma symptoms too. A case manager and a primary therapist are assigned that day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight Answers on Exposure Work, Medication and Length of Stay
Six answers follow on exposure work, medication and length of stay, plus diagnosis, insurance and the Lantana address.
Does insurance cover OCD treatment?
OCD treatment is billed under the outpatient behavioral health benefit on commercial plans. TRICARE is the only in-network contract at the Lantana center, and every other payer runs on out-of-network PPO benefits. Anyone holding Medicare or Medicaid needs a provider that bills those programs directly.
Do you prescribe medication for OCD?
Psychiatric medication management is provided in-house by a certified family nurse practitioner, with psychiatrist referrals available. What gets prescribed for OCD is a clinical decision taken after the psychiatric evaluation, so Olympic Behavioral Health names no medication in advance of it.
How long does OCD treatment take?
Average length of stay at partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient runs 30 to 45 days, with outpatient continuing afterwards as a step down. That average covers the whole program rather than OCD specifically, and a clinician sets the expected OCD course at assessment.
Can a therapist diagnose OCD?
A licensed clinician can diagnose obsessive-compulsive disorder. At the Lantana center the phone assessment and intake screening establish what is present, the clinical director approves each admission, and nobody needs an OCD diagnosis in hand before picking up the phone.
Where is the OCD treatment center in Lantana, Florida?
OCD treatment runs at 3618 Lantana Road, Suite 200, Lantana, FL 33462. Exit 61 on I-95 reaches the building, downtown West Palm Beach sits 12 miles north, and every level of OCD care runs at this one Olympic Behavioral Health site.
Do you offer exposure therapy for OCD?
Structured exposure work forms part of the OCD program and the primary therapist delivers it. Olympic Behavioral Health does not claim a clinician credentialed in a named exposure protocol, and the admissions team will say what a plan contains before anybody is admitted.

Truly changed my life. Came from residential program feeling ready to return home but decided to step to Olympic before I made the journey home. Best decision I ever made. It truly strengthened everything I learned and provides an opportunity to put it into practice. If you come with the right mindset and attitude you will truly be grateful. Love all the staff and alumni the support is truly out of this world. Love you and miss you guys!

Olympic saved my life! When I first got there, I was absolutely against it, but Meg and her crew did some things different for me and made the place to fit me so that I would stay. They made me feel welcome and comfortable Which is hard to do! But it’s been amazing success that we had is truly unprecedented. They’re friendly and they know what they’re doing. God bless them!
