OCD Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Louisville

OCD intensive outpatient program in Louisville Kentucky at River City OCD Clinic

Sometimes weekly therapy isn’t quite enough to break out of the cycle of OCD. Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Louisville provides a more focused, short-term approach, providing structured, frequent sessions using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). This level of care is designed to help you make meaningful progress in a shorter period of time, especially when OCD feels particularly stuck or overwhelming.

What Is an OCD IOP?

This structured OCD treatment program is an accelerated version of ERP and ACT which typically consists of two 60- or 90-minutes sessions per day across 2-3 consecutive weeks.

​

While many individuals enter IOP for OCD, we also treat:

​

  • PTSD

  • Social anxiety

  • Body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), such as hair-pulling and skin-picking

  • Other anxiety-related conditions and perfectionism​

Who the OCD IOP is For

Many clients begin with individual therapy before transitioning into our intensive outpatient program. IOP is a good fit if:

​

  • Symptoms feel stuck despite weekly therapy

  • You need more structure and consistency

  • You’re looking to build momentum quickly

  • You want a more focused, intensive approach

What Makes Our OCD IOP Different

While weekly therapy provides steady, ongoing support, an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is designed to:

 

  • Accelerate progress through increased frequency and structur

  • Allow multiple sessions each week, typically two (2) 60- or 90-minute daily sessions

  • Offer more hands-on exposure work

  • Provide real-time problem-solving, and consistent practice
     

IOP at River City OCD Clinic is helping individuals break out of patterns that may be harder to shift in a once-weekly format.

Getting Started

  • Everyone starts out with an OCD consultation to determine whether IOP is the right fit.
     

  • If appropriate, we’ll complete an assessment to clarify diagnoses and current symptom severity.
     

  • An OCD Specialist will use your assessment results to guide their formulation of a personalized treatment plan.
