This year's Town Hall aims to build on last year's goal to bring this important issue into the light. Many attendees of that forum were able to talk openly about this often-secret issue for the first time. Now that we recognize the true scope of this problem, we must turn to “what can we do?”  We will discuss the good and bad of the present social and treatment landscape, and why integrating OCD and addiction treatment is so important to bring to the forefront of our advocacy efforts. Join us and be part of the movement to make a true difference in the lives of all affected by this dual condition, who too often have nowhere to turn.
