Optimum Performance Institute

Really amazing program. Great People. Yes it’s on the pricey side and they don’t take insurance so my parents ended up paying for it. This is a well run world-​class program though.
The staff is well trained and it’s in the Los Angeles valley so it’s around a lot of great stuff. Most helpful was learning how to get ready for life.
I would totally recommend OPI.

I’ve had ADHD my whole life. It took a long time for me to get diagnosed but it’s been there.
My ADHD led to school becoming increasingly more difficult and with my grades falling so low I got depressed and anxiety kicked in about the future. Anyways, I went to therapists who told me that I wasn’t trying hard enough or didn’t want things bad enough and I was like «hello, something’s wrong in my brain.» Medication worked okay but I felt like I couldn’t prioritize because I was so focused on the thing I was doing that everything else just disappeared.
The team and OPI walked me through the depression and anxiety in a way that really worked for me — but more than that they were understanding of my ADHD. Instead of trying to «fix» me they taught me to know my own limitations and taught me strategies where I didn’t have to rely on my bad memory and other problems that come with having ADHD.
I can’t say enough about OPI. My time here has changed the way I look at myself and the way I look at my future.

I don’t like leaving reviews for places that I didn’t go to and try myself but my best friend went here after fighting with severe anxiety and depression for a long time. They really saved his life and I am eternally grateful for it.
He’s back to the guy I remember hanging out with years ago. He says it’s a long road and still has his days but he reaches out for help now before things spiral out of control and it’s really amazing to see his transformation.

OPI is the best mental health program I’ve ever seen. It felt more like camp than a hospital — but of course with lots of growth and therapy and what not. The staff here is so amazing and grounded. I feel like I connected with more therapists and life coaches here than I have in the last ten years.
Everyone is just so nice and caring and really puts their heart into it. OPI is somewhere you can get real help that shows you now only how to be stable but how to thrive, how to live. My group talked a lot about finding passion and I dove deep into that. I never thought of myself as a creative because I’ve always had a hard time sticking with anything before getting distracted but I’ve really come to love the arts because of my time at OPI and even picked up photography in the process and it’s been really helpful in communicating different emotions to my friends and family.
I feel like I could go on and on about my experience here but I’ll just wrap it up and say that I feel like I transformed with OPI and feel lucky to have found them when I did.

This is a great place for people trying to learn how to live with their diagnoses and move forward in life. The staff is absolutely incredible here and you can tell that they really care about everyone in the program. I come from a lot of DBT background and I think that the way they’ve adapted DBT for a residential program is really effective.
In other programs I’ve been in I’ve felt like as soon as I left that I’d be on shaky grounds again but this place gave me the confidence to really live on my own and be a productive member of society. I worked through a lot of my social barriers that were keeping me from flourishing with my life coaches and the group sessions were also really helpful with this as well obviously.
I wouldn’t say that OPI is for everyone. Other than it being expensive, it’s also not for people who need intense supervision. It’s not set up like a hospital by any means but it was a great step down from me from another program that was that intensive and I’m really happy I found this place.

This place has change my life. There is now more to my life than just staying in my room and out of the hospital. I’m creating a person of responsibility. I could see myself being a loving father someday.

Great Facility! Long story short, I went here when I was at a LOW point in my life. My parents struggled on where to send me for a while because we were looking at a few places but once we did a tour here I knew this was the place for me. It’s much more freeing than your typical residential program. What was really great was that I didn’t just feel like I got «stable» but really got preparred for adult life. They talk about launching and really support you at OPI with life coaches in addition to therapists and other resources to get you on track to actually live a «normal» life. Before I went in I had attempted suicide and was really just totally lost but now I’m actually moving out of my parents house into my own apartment and I’m graduating college in a couple months. I never thought I would actually get here and I can’t say how amazing it feels to be on the other side of that slump thanks to OPI.

Unless you have buckets full of cash, don’t even bother calling this facility. I called several weeks ago to see about treatment for a friend who was experiencing a difficult time her first year in college, and needed a soft place to land rather immediately. They were prompt in returning my call, I’ll give them that much, but as soon as I asked if they accept insurance, it was an immediate «no go». An unsympathetic, unapologetic and unequivocally hasty and curt «no, sorry, bye» and click,
was all I got.

Oh my god! Does this program really cost around $ 50,000 for a minimal two months with no insurance accepted? Borderline Personality Disorder tends to afflict people *most* in their early twenties and thirties, and often involves strained relationships with friends and family. How could any average young person WITHOUT incredible credit or the support of a wealthy family even hope to obtain services? I’m 22, BPD with co-​occurring issues, and will be financing my own recovery. Roanne looks great and sounds great until you see their price tag.
«The intensive, 30-​Day Immersion Phase and each 30-​Day Mobilization and Integration Phase are now $ 24,900. Participants live in apartments near OPI.»
«OPI is considered private pay and does not currently work with insurance, medicare, or a sliding scale. OPI is in-​network with Aetna for IOP/​outpatient services only, excluding psychiatric care.»
I sincerely hope this is NOT, as they claim, «the only program specializing in Borderline Personality Disorder».

Before OPI our daughter had a number of therapists and doctors who diagnosed her with everything from BPD to depression to bipolar disorder. All the while the primary treatment was an ever increasing mix of powerful medications. The result was a young woman incapable of finishing a class, holding a job or maintaining a relationship. Physically her hands shook, she couldn’t speak coherently and she had no appetite. As she spiraled her latest doctor kept adding medications in search of the «perfect cocktail» of meds that would allow her to «function» in the real world. The bottom fell out when she stole from her only friends and was kicked out of her apartment.
As parents we looked desperately for a place that would immerse her in therapy and teach her life skills. We also wanted her medication therapy evaluated and adjusted as appropriate. We found OPI and it changed her life and ours.
Her therapist at OPI, Kim Greeley, was demanding and achieved amazing results. While therapy progressed our daughter was brought off all her medications except a low dose of Prozac. The transformation in our daughter was remarkable. After 7 months at OPI we had our daughter back. She was strong, confident and ready to start her life. Since leaving OPI a she is back in school… and doing great! She has friends and is enjoying a normal life.
OPI a is not inexpensive but the results were amazing. We truly owe it all to the wonderful people of OPI.

The Roanne Program helped my daughter and family tremendously. My daughter had been in various treatment facilities for 5 consecutive years and she really needed help. We found Roanne and after three days of interviews they accepted her! She completed the program in a year and the transformation was amazing! She is living on her own, attending college, and owns a dog that she is responsible for and is doing really well. Our family has grown as well by the treatment program and become stronger and equiped to deal with the every day challenges of a young adult in a successful manner. Without Roanne, I wouldn’t want to think about where things would be today. This is an amazing program and definitely recommended!
