Bipolar Disorder Treatment

Bipolar disorder and addiction often occur together. For some, bipolar symptoms can reach a point that they use drugs or alcohol to try and self-medicate or use substances during manic episodes when inhibitions are low. For others, heavy or chronic substance triggers the onset of their bipolar symptoms. At Discover Recovery, we provide co-occurring bipolar disorder treatment in our substance use programs. We can help you or a loved one find strength and a new path forward—one that makes it easier to manage mental health symptoms without using drugs or alcohol.

Co-Occurring Bipolar Disorder Treatment at Discover Recovery

We offer treatment for bipolar disorder in Washington at our residential centers in Long Beach and Camas, and at our outpatient clinic in Portland, OR. When you or a loved one start mental health treatment, we’ll help determine the right level of care, therapy plan, and location.

Understand and Break the Cycle

The ups and downs of bipolar disorder can be difficult to manage, and using drugs and alcohol can actually make symptoms worse—but quitting active use alone is challenging and can be risky. If needed, we provide medical and residential detox with medical monitoring, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as needed, and support from our team. Once stable, you or your loved one can continue treatment in residential treatment.

Manage Your Symptoms

Many people with bipolar disorder manage their symptoms more effectively with a medication management plan. Discover Recovery can help you or a loved one manage medications, monitor progress and side effects, and make any necessary changes. By stabilizing symptoms, we can help you focus on the recovery process and develop healthy coping mechanisms in therapy.

Learn How to Cope

Evidence-based therapy methods, like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and family therapy, are effective treatments for bipolar disorder. Learning how to recognize a manic or depressive episode and developing coping strategies can reduce the risk of relapse. We’ll create a tailored therapy plan based on your individual needs and goals.

Build a New Foundation

Experiential therapies and other holistic opportunities, like sound baths, pottery classes, spa treatments, and fitness classes, can help you reconnect with your health, peace, and purpose. Additionally, during group sessions, you can gain new perspectives on bipolar disorder and addiction, learn from the experiences of others, and build a support network for ongoing recovery.
