I don't believe hoarding is curable, at least not if the person lives on their own. There have been people from one or the other older hoarder episodes who ended up in assisted living, and they tried to hoard there too.
Many of these people lie about when they started hoarding, and it was many years before their traumatic event that they claim triggered the hoarding. A lot of times if there is a parent, or spouse that refused to allow them to hoard dies, or leaves, then the hoarding expands very quickly.
I think after suffering through the entire episode last night, Becky is the hoarder, and Andy enables her, and will never stop her. I don't think even assisted living wouldn't stop Becky. Even being broke doesn't stop hoarders, judging from all of the thrift store shoppers they've shown on TV, or the ones who dumpster dive, or steal from neighbor's charity donation piles, or trash.
At least watching hoarder shows has taught me that ever being a landlord isn't in my future.
Just seeing the ads for this show last week inspired me to consolidate my bedroom stuff, and donate a book case, and some other things, so it does inspire me. However, I have to laugh at the possibility that someone is buying my stuff and adding it to their hoard.
