If you are an individual with OCD, interested in receiving B4DT in New York, New York, please complete our online form and a member of our team will reach out to set up a complimentary phone screening appointment with a member of our clinical team. If B4DT appears to be an appropriate fit to meet your needs, we will proceed with scheduling a full intake assessment.
What is B4DT?
The Bergen 4-day treatment (B4DT) is a concentrated exposure treatment of individually tailored CBT delivered during four consecutive days. B4DT can be categorized as an individual treatment delivered in a group setting, since the treatment is delivered in groups of 3 to 6 patients with a therapist-patient ratio of 1:1. The B4DT has proven highly effective for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder, with almost no drop-out rates and almost 70% of patients reported as recovered at 12-month follow-up (Hansen et al., 2018). A long term follow-up study demonstrated that the treatment outcome was stable four years after completing treatment (Hansen et al., 2019).
Are you a clinician interested in becoming certified B4DT provider?
Clinician training for B4DT will become more widely available in the summer and fall of 2025. If you are interested in becoming a certified provider, please add your contact information to our waitlist. We will be providing up to date details on B4DT certified clinician training as soon as that information is available.
