This sounds like a house rule, the Marshal's Handbook
simply states (on the Scart Table) that the character
"gains" a minor phobia and in higher rolls a major
phobia, in every instance the book says to treat it
like a Loco hindrance. The text leaves it open to how
many points the hindrance would be worth for the
purposes of buying it off with bounty. 
There is a Blassed miracle that will cure "dementias"
called Solace (page 57 of Fire & Brimstone). The Speed
of this miracle is 1 week. Whether this means that the
Blessed must spend a week in prayer with the
"afflicted" or just that it takes a week for the
miracle to work is up to the Marshal (in our gaming
group we have to wait a week to see if the results are
succesful before we can try again).

hope this helps
