Bellwood Health Services
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Program
Offered by Toronto’s Premier Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Treatment Clinic
Bellwood is proud to partner with Sunnybrook Health Centre’s Frederick W. Thompson Anxiety Disorders Centre to offer Canada’s first inpatient OCD treatment program. This partnership combines unparalleled expertise with a safe, comfortable environment for healing.
Our highly skilled medical team – made up of doctors, nurses, psychiatrists, and other mental health experts – employs evidence-based treatments to help you live a life unhindered by OCD. Our flexible program is available in inpatient and outpatient formats and is customizable to meet your unique needs.
Bellwood’s Approach to Treating OCD
Our Toronto OCD treatment centre uses an integrative model of care grounded in patient-centred practices that incorporates a range of therapeutic techniques and evidence-based treatments, including:
- Intensive exposure and response prevention (ERP) for reducing OCD symptoms.
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to assist in developing helpful thought patterns and healthy behaviours in recovery and beyond.
- Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) for developing the skills needed to manage emotions and relationships, practice mindfulness, and survive crises.
- Individual psychotherapy for an empathetic and safe space to discuss personal recovery concerns and develop treatment goals.
- Group therapy to provide opportunities for peer support and professionally guided emotional processing.
- Psychoeducational sessions to help you understand yourself and the nature of OCD.
- Mindfulness and physical exercise for creating healthy, lasting habits.
Why Bellwood’s Inpatient Treatment May Be Right For You
Inpatient treatment offers a more immersive environment, 24/7 support, and increased access to medical care than outpatient programs. This comprehensive approach is often more effective for recovery.
Bellwood prides itself on being one of the best inpatient facilities in Ontario. Steps from Toronto’s Sunnybrook Park, our inpatient facilities are designed to facilitate healing.
Generally speaking, a longer inpatient treatment program will produce better results than a shorter program. However, if your life situation requires you to pursue a shorter or more flexible treatment program, Bellwood does offer an Intensive Outpatient Program.
