New here on the forum! This is my first post. A little about me: I have severe OCD of the harm and magical thinking kind + many many intrusive thoughts.
I am looking in to residency programs right now and have heard recommendations about Rogers and McLeans. (McCleans very hard to get into). I currently live in Canada and we only have one residency program (Sunnybrook Frederick Thompson) and it has a long waiting list and very strict admissions so it has proven quite difficult to get in.
I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations and/or experiences with a residency program in the US and how it has worked for them.
Hope all of your days are going well! And remember to rebel to that monster (OCD)!

I would like to welcome you to the OCD support network.
I have been to Rogers in Wisconsin, for residential treatment.
I had a mixed experience, staying there for 5 weeks.
There is one therapist assigned to many patients at one time.
Thus, you do not have much access to your therapist.
I did well while I was doing my Exposures Response Prevention for my symptoms, when I was there during treatment.
But when I came back home, there was absolutely no follow-up, and I did not have any access to a therapist either.
Thus, my severe OCD symptoms returned back.
In addition, they gave me problems about coverage with insurance.
When I returned back home, I was left by myself to deal with the insurance company on phone.
It caused me a lot of anxiety.
Hoping you will be able to get some proper treatment.
Thank you so much for replying to my post. I am sorry that the insurance situation gave you anxiety and the follow-up with Rogers didn't seem that great :(. I hope your journey has since been better! Are you getting the treatment you need now post-Rogers?
