About Optimum Performance Institute

Optimum Performance Institute located in Woodland Hills, California, offers residential treatment to help young adults and adolescents overcome alcohol and drug abuse. They also treat co-occurring mental health issues like suicidal thoughts and self harm. Their program provides round the clock care in a familiar and safe environment.

Restoring trust and strengthening family bonds are the goals of regular communication and involvement from parents who are crucial to the healing process. Individualized mental health care is the main goal of the treatment plan. This ensures that each patient receives support tailored to their requirements.

Clients live in nearby apartment buildings that mimic real world settings from the very beginning. In addition to learning everyday living skills like cooking and grocery shopping this arrangement enables them to participate in social interactions that are essential for fostering independence. With the help of a committed healing team they put the skills they’ve learned in both individual and group sessions to use in real world circumstances.

In order to help them set and accomplish their own goals each young adult works closely with their own therapist and case manager. Participating in Tae Kwon Do, volunteering or going to classes could all be part of a normal day. Clients also work with psychiatrists on medication management, life skills management and individual and group therapy.

The apartment buildings offer opulent lodgings along with a number of facilities such as two swimming pools, a cutting edge fitness center and outdoor gathering areas with barbecues. The facilities are easily accessible by shuttle service, are secure and are only a mile from their offices.

They provide clinical aspects of treatment with flexible payment options such as insurance billing and private pay. They are out of network with all private insurance providers and do not accept MediCal, MediCaid, TRICARE or HMO plans.

Edit: Despite the invitation extended below, it is clear that they have no interest in improving their services rendered or rectifying their flaws.If you're considering OPI, please, please consider the following:There may be lots of positive reviews and that's great but there are plenty of negative ones. And that is where the issue is. Look at how much the people who had negative experiences lost. If you don't have a good outcome, which is undeniably always a possibility with things of this nature, you will likely be out well over $100,000 that you will never get back, ever, even accounting for insurance reimbursements (which are a grueling process). There are no refunds. I know things are probably desperate, but ask yourself, is it really worth it to gamble that amount of money? Especially when there is no shortage of residential programs, both in Southern California and around the country, that are all necessarily going to be cheaper and offer essentially the same thing and likely not belong to such a suspect parent company as Embark (that OPI is part of). Look Embark up and everything they're involved in thoroughly and ask yourself. Does such a company really sound trustworthy? Can you even really trust the motivations and priorities of a company that thinks such prices are fair and reasonable in the first place?Regardless of if you decide to go or not, never let yourself be pressured or manipulated into spending more time or money than you think is right. Your gut sends you messages for a reason.I'll just give the bottom line:I know OPI looks good on its website but at the end of the day I can say with confidence that it doesn't offer anything that you can't find elsewhere for cheaper. As special and unique as it says it is there is absolutely nothing about it that warrants its price tag. And the program will tend to view clients and their families and not much more than cows to milk and for all they're worth and try to squeeze as much money from them as possible and people deserve better than that. Beware: he Roanne program is an example of that and designed to squeeze even more money out of people, it being full of overpriced fluff. It is not the only place to receive BPD treatment out there so look elsewhere and you'll get more for what you're paying. Staff misbehavior is also a huge program. Despite the cost the people in charge don't seem to do a good job vetting people working with a potentially vulnerable group of young people.Previous reviewer Sarah is definitely completely correct. OPI is a failure to launch program, not a program for young people with more deep-rooted mental health issues. Meaning, it is for people with comparatively milder problems, who really need a place for healing. It is definitely not "trauma-informed". And as another point to speak to that, it is absolutely not an appropriate place for young people with autism, despite it claiming that that it is one of the conditions it excels in helping with. There is no understanding of that condition among the clinical staff and no allowance is made for the autistic person's needs which really are very distinct from those who lack it, which will make the up the majority of the client base. So I just want that to be known.

Hi David. I am sorry to hear that this was your experience. It is important to note that OPI has been under new ownership and leadership since 2016, so I am confident and hopeful that some of your concerns and experiences may no longer be applicable. Feel free to reach out to us over the phone or email if you would like to discuss any additional concerns or if you would like to learn about what may be different now.

If you are looking for a place to intensely work on yourself because no other mode of treatment has worked, OPI will help you. Go here if you are in need of a serious tune up and they will give you what you need to do it. The clinical staff and administrators are adept, experienced and able to help you with any challenges you may face. Please be mindful that this is not the Ritz-Carlton. You're going here to improve your life and not for 5-star living services. While the residential department provides decent safety, it can be a difficult experience, but the clinical department knows the quirks of residential and will coach you through it. If your need for a better life is intense enough, it will make the difficulties in residential worth pushing through. Shoutout to Jessica, Alisa, Kathryn N, Mariana, Lindsay H, Wilson, Spencer for being an incredible clinical team. I got what I needed from here and you can too. Keep going.

I spent eight months at OPI and I felt like I got the most out of therapy here to ameliorate my severe OCD. Very professional staff. Definitely does not have the feel of a mental institution if you're worried about that. Activities are fun and do a good job at breaking the monotony.I still have OCD but I now have the tools to help alleviate the severity of it thanks to OPI.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Clients receiving treatment at an outpatient rehab typically do not require hospitalization or intensive supervision and support. Outpatient addiction counseling and recovery education are often offered during the morning, evening, night, and weekend, allowing clients to tailor treatment to their own schedule. Partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs are the most time-intensive and are designed for clients who are at an increased relapse risk and/or who need more robust therapeutic support.

Inpatient

Inpatient rehab provides intensive treatment for clients exiting detox, those in early recovery, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Unlike outpatient drug rehab, clients receiving inpatient care reside at the facility for the duration of the program. The length of stay may range from two weeks to 18 months or more, depending on the client's needs and the program's design. Inpatient treatment typically involves extensive addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) support a client's sustained sobriety as they exit detox or step down from an inpatient program. IOPs are also designed for clients who are at an elevated risk of relapse. Intensive outpatient treatment typically requires clients to engage in a minimum of nine hours of therapy per week, but clients may receive up to 20 therapeutic hours weekly. IOP treatment modalities often combine psychotherapy, recovery-focused life skills training, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Aftercare Support

Rehab aftercare programs offer clients in addiction recovery a robust continuum of care after clients have completed active treatment. These services address recovery as a life-long process and are designed to evolve with clients' changing needs. Clients may partner with their case managers and/or addiction recovery team to identify the rehab aftercare services that are right for them. They may receive career counseling, housing assistance, peer coaching, 12 step program induction, among many other services.

12-Step

Participants engaged in 12 step programs receive intensive peer coaching (sponsorship) and community support. Spiritual development as a means of achieving psychological and emotional healing and growth is the cornerstone of 12 step recovery, but religious affiliations are not required. Meetings are free, anonymous, and open to the public, though specialized formats are available, including groups for seniors, teens, and family members. Evening, night, and day meetings are conducted year-round in most communities.

Partial Hospitalization Program

Commonly known as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is an intensive form of outpatient treatment where clients meet during the day and return home in the evening. PHP treatment doesn't require 24-hour care and often serves as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or a step-down after a residential program. With PHP treatment, you can receive daily support for 6 to 8 hours which includes evidence-based therapies and medication management. The cost of PHP treatment typically varies but averages 90 days.

Medically Assisted Detox

When addicted, quitting your drug of choice suddenly can be dangerous. That's why experts agree a medically assisted detox is the safest way to remove addictive substances from the body. Usually done in an inpatient setting, your vitals signs and overall well being are consistently monitored and rechecked in order to keep you safe and ensure the detox is successful.

Treatments

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Programs

Teen Program

Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.

Program For Men

Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.

Program For Women

Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

I have been in OPI for over a year and I have learned and improved so much. My team was great and supportive throughout my stay. I have highly respect for them and they have respected me. If you are willing to put in the work to get better then this place is for you.Katherine and Beradin are great therapists who know what they are doing with the mental health of their clients. Dr. K is awesome and supportive throughout the psychiatric process. I love Mariam s attitude and passion! She helped me start college online for a semester. Live laugh Samra! She is a great life coach who pushed my limits for success! OPI may have its flaws but I m so grateful for the care I received.

Ben Buckley

I spent 5 months in the program and would say it was a great overall experience. The staff truly made my time here worth it. To name a few, Allie B, Crystal, Gabe, Jas, Sthefany and Nino. But there are so many more. I genuinely loved individual therapy with Allie B. And the time I shared with staff. Thank you for everything.

I came to OPI long term after completing the short term program. Originally, it was not my idea to come to long term. My mom was told about it by the short term director, Paul, and was told that I would greatly benefit from it. I was extremely hesitant to join, and I wish that I had listened to my gut. Being at long term caused me more trauma and distress than good benefits. Most of the residential staff were only there for the money. Limited help was provided by them whenever I was struggling. While it was a non substance usage facility, people were still actively using every day. If you re trying to get sober, I would NOT recommend coming here due to how easy it is to obtain any substances, and how you re easily able to get away with it.Regarding therapeutic groups, most were unorganized, and very repetitive. I only had found one group that I was able to get something out of and that was Attachment group with my therapist Beradin. Beradin was an amazing therapist and truly helped me get through the grueling process of being at long term. If I didn t have her as my therapist I probably wouldn t have gotten anything out of the program. My relationship with my family is better than ever, and I m now able to recognize my emotions quicker and how to help myself in that moment.In the end, no I would not recommend OPI longterm to anyone seeking treatment.

Parents do more homework than I did. Took us 9 months and over $200K later to see that the service OPI provides does not warrant the prices they charge. You can get the same elsewhere for half the price. Look at the experience of the clinical staff. You are not getting the best of the best. Most of the therapist have limited experience and have been there a short time. We thought we were getting top-notch care, but did not. This is a failure to launch program and is not equipped to handle young adults with mental health issues.You pay Embark, then insurance pays Embark. Good luck getting the money Embark owes you back. We can't get the Embark billing team to return our phone calls or emails. They nickle and dime you for everything and demand payment promptly, but you getting reimbursed from them is impossible. They do anything to stand in the way of you getting any money from the insurance company. I would give zero stars if I could.

I have been in treatment for a while, before coming to OPI, I spent 11 months in a pretty strict/lockdown residential in Utah. I made very little progress there, as the environment was extremely controlling and felt like a punishment rather than being helpful. Since being at OPI, I have absolutely LOVED it here, and that s an understatement. My therapist, Ali G is incredible. At OPI, you ll be given a therapist based on who they think you ll work with best- and it was spot on! She has helped me reflect on so much, and GREATLY improved my family dynamic. I have been here only 3 months, and am honestly happier here than I was outside of treatment! ALL of the therapists at OPI are wonderful, you work with many during group therapy and upon getting to know them all, I haven t had a negative interaction with anyone. My treatment team is VERY understanding, and when mistakes are made, staff will handle it with care and support. There are natural consequences, no punishments! The ILS (Independent Living Specialists) that sometimes stay in the apartment complex we live in, are all very comforting and do everything they can to attend to participants needs. I love SO MANY of them, including anne, eliza, iliana (ily), sthefany, and MANY more. The participants are very sweet, understanding, and easy to get along with. There is no judgement here, and I have never felt more safe and understood.UPDATE: I GRADUATED!!! About 8 months total at OPI and it was sad to leave the program. I am staying in CA, and while being in the program I have managed to get into and commit to Pepperdine University. My family didn t think college was a possibility for me after my substance abuse struggles. I am still completely sober and intend on being sober for the rest of my life. I know that I have a community supporting me and am moving into a community of people with values that I admire! I still keep in contact with people! I really do want to come back, never as a patient again- but as a therapist!

Thank you for sharing such wonderful feedback!

While OPI was the best program I attended during my treatment, it was still ineffective. Their refusal to confront my parents on their harmful behaviors made it so no lasting change could be made in my life. Despite my being of legal majority, they focused more on my parents wishes than my own meaningful growth, and even admitted it had to do with my parents paying for the treatment. The prioritization of money over healthcare by the program was a continued theme in my stay, and shouldn t be all too surprising. If it wasn t about money, they wouldn t be in the private sector.While there were fun activities abound, and I made great friends and memories, without effective healthcare, the program s price tag is too exorbitant to justify.Additionally, I am extremely displeased with the program s continued association with treatment centers and programs with corroborated reports of abuse. It makes it clear to victims of such centers, like myself, that OPI prioritizes profits over patients. This is extremely harmful, and also an enormous obstacle to effective treatment, given that the foundation of psychotherapy is a trusting relationship between patient and provider. Your program s continued association with child abusers tells the patient that their provider either doesn t believe the victims, or doesn t care about them.(Update) Upon reading the response, I would point to the fact that the programs social medias follow said abusive programs. While I m not privy to company records, I would assume, given the publicly available information, they too would reflect continued associations. If this is as unacceptable as you claim, have your actions reflect this.

BEWARE years ago these people tried to help my abuser put me into a conservatorship. I did not realize at the time that was what was happening but I have recently found more emails and texts between staff members in this institute with my abuser and it was extremely clear I was being abused and that they were motivated by financial interests to keep me under the control of my abuser. They are in it for money and not helping people. I also spoke to residents of the facility at the time who said all patients hated it there and were being mistreated by staff members. I also believe they violated HIPAA.

I've been at this program around 15 months now and am discharging at the end of september. i've been in treatment a total of 3 and a half years, and this has helped me the most of all. the staff here are all great, some more annoying then others, but all with good intent. The clinical team is amazing too. My therapist Sasha has been the glue to my success here, and truly cares about me. we have a very strong bond, and she has helped me get through many struggles here. Ive had around 7 or 8 different therapists throughout my journey and she's been the only one i've connected too 100%. All the rest of the therapists are pretty good though. the program truly listens to residents and makes an effort to accommodate each idea, this has pretty much been the only place to find the balance between participants and staff/clinical. i've never been to a place that actually listens and cared about the residents.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! A wonderful therapist can make all the difference in the world, so we are so glad that you found that in Sasha!

This is for OPI STR, this program genuinely cared about me, which is not something I've experienced very often in most of the residential programs I've gone to. If you work the program, it will provide u with a plethora of skills to add to your toolbox. Extreme well run, and very receptive to feedback. Also very individualized. All in all, A great program.

Thank you so much for sharing this feedback and I am thrilled that this has been your experience!
