About Opción de Vida
Helping teens and adults recover from addiction to substances and gambling, Opción de Vida, located in Lima, Peru, accepts both local and international clients for their detox, residential, and outpatient programs. Pioneers in using equine therapy for treatment in Peru, their professional staff delivers high-quality and personalized care. Their teen and young adult residential program is designed for individuals ages 17-21, providing structure, practical skill development, and relapse prevention strategies.
Maximize Treatment with Personalized Care Plans
Experience a treatment approach tailored to each person’s needs through individual therapy, group sessions, family guidance, and ongoing support. Programs may incorporate evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help clients build coping skills, regulate emotions, and navigate challenges more effectively. Clinicians continuously assess each client’s progress and adjust treatment plans accordingly, allowing care to evolve over time rather than follow a fixed timeline. With guidance from psychologists, nursing staff, and medical and psychiatric professionals when appropriate, clients can build healthier routines, deepen emotional healing, and develop a stronger foundation for lasting recovery.
Gain Confidence and Awareness with Equine Therapy
Take part in a recovery experience that incorporates equine-assisted therapy as a core part of the treatment model. Guided work with horses helps clients build self-confidence, strengthen communication skills, and improve impulse control by requiring patience, consistency, and clear boundaries. Because horses are highly responsive to human behavior, they can mirror emotional states in real time—helping clients develop greater self-awareness and regulate emotions. This hands-on approach also encourages responsibility and presence, offering a meaningful alternative to traditional talk therapy in a calm, outdoor setting.
