Bipolar Disorder Treatment

Bipolar disorder treatment that’s administered in a rehab helps individuals who are suffering from both this mental disorder and a drug or alcohol addiction. This is known as dual diagnosis treatment.

Bipolar disorder affects the brain of the sufferer and causes severe and dramatic energy and mood shifts. These episodes of alternating mania and depression are recurrent and interfere with a person’s ability to function and maintain a good quality of life. The only way someone who suffers from this debilitating condition can live a functional life is for them to seek professional bipolar disorder treatment.

The Importance of Concurrent Addiction & Bipolar Disorder Treatment

Bipolar disorder treatment can relieve mood swings and stabilize other related symptoms. Since this mental health disorder frequently coexists with an addiction, addiction treatment therapy and bipolar disorder treatment needs to occur simultaneously to present the best opportunity for recovery. Failure to address both conditions at the same time will increase the chances that the individual will suffer a complete relapse of both diseases.

What are the Indicating Signs That I Need Bipolar Disorder Treatment?

Bipolar disorder can cause the sufferer to go from an episode of mania to one of severe depression. Some of the signs of bipolar disorder include, but are not limited to:

  • Feelings of invulnerability
  • Unrealistic or grandiose beliefs
  • Highly distractible / lack of concentration
  • Hallucinations / delusions
  • Sleep problems
  • Feelings of hopelessness
  • Fatigue
  • Suicidal thoughts
  • Inability to feel or experience pleasure

Testimonials

I can't believe I am even writing this letter but my sponsor urged me to. I need to tell you that if it wasn't for the Freedom Rings program I never would have stayed in treatment. The staff and other patients provided me with unconditional love which made it easier for me to come out and my parents to accept my sexuality. Special thanks to Christie.
Bradley H., 15 months clean and sober, Towson, Md.

Well I went into treatment kicking and screaming. I didn't want to be there but behind all this acting out, I was just plain scared. I just couldn't imagine a life without drugs or alcohol. Today I can't imagine going back to it.
Juan Q., Miami, Fl.

I'm not sure I can get across how grateful I am to Priscilla, my therapist. She helped me deal with a past that stole everything from me. Today my relationship with my family is great and I am accomplishing things I never thought possible. Never give up on yourself.
