Signs Our Residential Treatment Center Can Help

We understand how difficult it can be to see your loved one struggling, and we’re here to help. Here are five signs that our RTC could help:

  1. Severe Behavioral or Emotional Issues: Frequent aggressive or defiant behaviors, such as outbursts, rule-breaking, or conflicts with authority figures.
  2. Unsafe Living at Home: Engaging in behaviors that put themselves or others at risk, such as self-harm or aggression, requiring 24/7 supervision and care.
  3. Other Treatment Options Aren’t Working: When outpatient therapy, IOP, or PHP aren’t able to help, an RTC can provide around-the-clock care and support for your teen.
  4. Inability to Maintain a Routine: Struggling to wake up on time, attend school regularly, or complete basic tasks like eating or sleeping.
  5. Frequent Family Conflict or Social Isolation: Ongoing tension at home or withdrawal from all social relationships, making it hard to heal without a break from the current environment.

What to Expect

From day one, clients live in local apartment complexes, which provide a real-life residential treatment environment. They learn to cook for themselves and to grocery shop. They go into real-life situations to practice the skills they have acquired in their individual and group experiences. They’ll have the opportunity to communicate with and work with other students while budgeting finances, monitoring screen time, implementing self-management skills, and building relationships with others, all with the help and supervision of the healing team at OPI.

A Day at Our Residential Treatment Centers

Every young adult at our residential treatment center has their own case manager and therapist who helps guide them toward an independent life. Depending upon their interests, a single day may consist of going to a job or school, volunteering at an animal shelter or taking Tae Kwon Do lessons. It also includes individual and group psychotherapy sessions, one-to-one life skills management training, medication management meetings with a psychiatrist, etc.

Pursuing their own interests acts as a “springboard” to help them see life‘s potential and begin to move forward. Through life coaching sessions and specialization, we help clients develop resilience and persistence. Persistence to meet set goals and resilience to persevere when the going gets tough.
