How to Transition From High School to College
This isn’t your average, run-of-the-mill facility. If you’re looking for a treatment approach that will tackle your biggest problem while leaving the rest for you to take care of, keep looking. Instead, we offer innovative programs that address the entire person, not just the primary problem. The inpatient programs offered at OPI cover a vast array of issues, from mental health issues such as depression and bipolar disorders to issues like failure to launch syndrome and substance abuse.
How It Starts
It isn’t unheard of for young adults to struggle with what comes next in life when they’ve accomplished one goal. Often, this feat sets in around the time that a youth graduates from high school or college. If the next steps aren’t already laid out, many become complacent and start to coast through life. We’re here to help you find out what you’re supposed to be doing with your life. The Center for American Progress states that over 10 million Americans 16 to 24 years old are without employment; this is undoubtedly not the future you want.
Treatment Options
We want to help you to discover what you like and what your interests are, and make sure the life you map out centers around them. Your best chance at a successful life lies within you. When mental illness or other issues strike, they can often bury your real feelings far beneath the surface — so deep that you can’t even figure them out yourself. Here, you will find options like dialectical behavioral therapy — a common technique used for those with BPD, per PsychCentral— to help you unearth your trapped emotions. Group therapy is an alternative that many end up taking advantage of merely because it helps to hear that you’re not alone, and it is beneficial to gain the social interaction that comes with it.
Life coaching is another great choice that we offer for those who feel lost, unmotivated, or like they want to take the next step but don’t know how to start. You will learn to be financially responsible for yourself and gain a wealth of knowledge on staying physically fit and eating healthfully. In addition, our life coaches will teach you how to:
- Set practical goals for yourself
- Achieve those goals
- Enrich your life with volunteer opportunities
- Seek gainful employment
The Perks of Treatment
If you have educational pursuits you want to complete, this is the place to do it. We are networked with several accredited learning institutions through which you can finish high school, get your GED, or even attend college. Those with learning disabilities have shown great success via our remedial education programs. We know how challenging the commonplace school setting can be if you don’t learn and absorb material the same way others do, and we help you to learn by working around those obstacles within your own cognitive framework.
Asking for Help
If you’re reading this, you’re likely already falling behind from where you wanted to be at this point in your life. We can help you get back on track. Do not let yourself end up being one of the 21.6 million young adults, per Pew Research, living with their parents. A recent Gallup poll produced results of young adults ages 24 to 34 who lived with their parents that were far less likely to be thriving well in life than counterparts of the same age who were independent. Our skilled therapists, physicians and life coaches can deliver the jolt of ambition you need to get excited about living life again and start looking forward to your future. Call OPI today and take the first step to figuring out where your life is going.
