The OPI Living Programs are JCAHO accredited and designed to provide effective, innovative and therapeutic treatment for young adults who are challenged by a number of different diagnoses including borderline personality disorder (BPD), excessive anxiety, depression, “failure to launch,” learning disabilities and more. Where other programs look to stabilize young adults, OPI gives clients both the clinical and life-skills support they need to thrive as adults.

OPI is primarily a residential treatment program for young adults, 17-28 years old. All are in some way stuck in their lives. OPI's primary focus is helping young adults move forward to have an independent life. We are here to help them with a multitude of things including overcoming what's gotten them stuck. Whether it's drug and alcohol or some behavioral addiction, we look at all of that. Early on we assess what's gone on in the past, what's happening right now, and how we can best support each individual. We can provide anything from therapy, medication management, DBT, which is really important and helpful for a lot of them. My favorite part about OPI, is just the experience. It's a very well-rounded program. They're going to push you to your best abilities - and even more of an ability than you think you have. It's having that self-confidence you gain when coming into this program. My favorite part of OPI would be the consistency of it. I love waking up in the morning knowing that I have this great group to go to at nine o'clock and knowing that what I put into it will be what I get out of it. Every department is meeting with them, looking at the schedule to visually find balance. What I like to do in the activities department is show the participants their schedule. If we notice on a Monday they're slammed from nine to five with programming, groups, therapy, and other appointments, we may look at it and say would be a great day to go out into the community, take a yoga class, do that one thing you enjoy or pick up that guitar that you like. We want them to be part of the community - having a part-time job, going back to school, volunteering - experiencing joy in their life again. These things are inclusive in the program. OPI balances support and freedom in a variety of different ways. We really focus on creating this real world/real life environment. We want to be very realistic about what life is going to look like for a young adult when they're out of treatment. Our goal is for this to be their last stop in treatment. One of the interesting things about OPI is that they let you have your phone. The first day you come in you're allowed to have electronics, you're allowed to watch TV, and you're allowed to have your computer. These things might be on the "do not" list for some programs, but we really want to model what's happening when you're out in the world without OPI. They all have cell phones while they're here. From the first day, they all can have computers. We only place monitors on them if they prove to us they need that monitoring. You're still connected to the outside world. When you start having situations that are overwhelming, you have the staff to back you up and you have support 24/7. They are allowed to date. We want to help them learn how to have healthy relationships. If we have to do couples therapy we'll do couples therapy. It's a really appropriate thing for young adults to do. How have I changed for the better and how have I experienced personal growth at OPI? I've been here two and a half weeks and by myself, with just nudges, I have scheduled outside meetings. I have done some volunteering. I've explored the neighborhood. All things that I wouldn't want to do if I were not in treatment and specifically not in treatment at a place like OPI. It's to the point where I feel like I'm doing it myself, even though I'm receiving a lot of wonderful help. I get to take a lot of ownership of all the things I'm doing in and outside of the program. When I first came into the program, I was a very angry kid. I was upset with everything about life in general. Learning all the skills I have, learned meeting with my therapist as much as I have, things have changed where I enjoy life more. It's helped me find out who I am as myself. I've discovered more things about myself. Where I was lacking self-confidence, now I've gained that.
