What Is Opus? Psychiatric Treatment For Psychosis
Share
OPUS is an outpatient (i.e., outside of a psychiatric hospital, possibly in community psychiatry) service and treatment program In Denmark.
In psychiatry, OPUS stands for Outreach Treatment for Psychotic Youth.
An OPUS program can last up to two years.
To be referred, you need to contact your own doctor, a private practice psychiatrist, or a treatment facility in psychiatry, for example, an assessment in the emergency room of a psychiatric ward or a course of treatment within psychiatry.
In OPUS, you are in a two-year intensive program for the treatment of your psychosis and your psychotic symptoms.
The goal is to get well, to feel better, or to live a richer life with the right medication. The goal of OPUS is also to maintain a daily life with education, work, or other activities that enrich your life.
I have been in OPUS, and here the outpatient psychiatry found a good suggestion for which medication I should have, which began to quiet my voices, that is, my hallucinations and my psychosis.
However, I will also say that I have had to take responsibility for my treatment to help my therapists as much as possible, and I have also had to take responsibility for my own writing therapy.
