Do I need to continue OCD medicines throughout life?

Hi, I am suffering from a kind of behavioral disorder. I am more concerned about cleanliness. I wash my clothes, plates, and everything more than thrice to make it cleaner. I am scared of contamination. So I am more keen on my surroundings. I wash my hands if I touch anybody from outside. I am really upset due to this. My hubby told me that it is a kind of behavioral disorder. Then, I searched on the internet for this. I read that these are the symptoms of OCD. I want to take treatment before getting this complicated. I am planning to take an appointment at a clinic in Toronto for undergoing obsessive compulsive disorder treatment. But I would like to know whether this disorder is completely treatable. Do I need to continue medicines throughout my life? Is it possible to cure this by behavioral therapies or individual counselling? If anyone knows about this, please help me with your replies.
