EXCELLENT Based on 177 reviews Posted on Fernanda Garcia licea I had an amazing experience at Opus Health. From the moment I got there, I felt welcomed and genuinely cared for. The staff is incredible supportive, attentive, and truly invested in helping you get better. The house itself was beautiful and comfortable, which made a huge difference during such a vulnerable time. One of my favorite parts was having a chef being able to enjoy good, healthy meals every day really helped me focus on my recovery. They also kept things engaging with fun and meaningful activities, which made the whole experience feel balanced and not just clinical. It helped me reconnect with myself in a positive way. A special shoutout to Joel, who helped me get into the program. I’m so grateful for him he made the process smooth and gave me that extra push I needed to take this step. Overall, I highly recommend Opus Health to anyone looking for real support and a strong recovery environment.

We started with Ryan who eased my husband mind about finally finding a place to safely detox. My intake interview made me more comfortable with going out of state for care. I was welcomed by the entire staff immediately and was educated with the withdrawl symptoms which made an uncomfortable situation more comfortable. I was educated by numerous staff that the symptoms I was experiencing at home was in fact withdrawl symptoms which in turn decreased my anxiety. I successfully detoxed and in the beginning process of recovery. All the education I received and the professional support and care was very impactful during my time at Opus. This is one Alaskin that was happy Opus was available.Posted on tie-dye kid Amazing program and staff in a very Beautiful I love my case manger and therapist shout out to them they are one of the big reasons why I was able to graduate this program and go on living a sober and successful lifePosted on thomas lynch Jr Staff are so friendly and when you have a mental breakdown, they will help you get through it.
