Why Consider Residential Treatment for Bipolar Disorder
From risk-taking during manic episodes to crippling depression, bipolar disorder is all about extremes. You might feel great when you’re manic, believing that you don’t really need help. Or, depression can get so bad that you believe you don’t deserve help.
Whether you’re dealing with manic symptoms that trick you into thinking you’re fine or depressive symptoms that make things like getting out of bed and sticking to a routine hard, consistency isn’t easy without proper treatment.
An inpatient treatment program gives you an opportunity to focus on the healing process. You can learn about symptom management and start to understand bipolar disorder and its effects on your moods.
Residential bipolar treatment also keeps you safe until all forms of mental illness symptoms are managed. It’s the ideal choice if you are struggling with co-occurring mental health disorders or substance abuse.
The Risks of Depressive Episodes
Depression caused by bipolar disorder disrupts your life. You’ll feel fatigued and uninterested in the things you once enjoyed. It can feel impossible to go to work, see friends, or just get out of bed.
Suicidal thoughts and attempts are another major risk of these depressive episodes. During inpatient bipolar disorder treatment, you’ll be kept safe from these unhelpful thoughts and feelings. You’ll receive support in the form of talk therapy, medication management, and experiential activities.
The Risks of Manic Episodes
You may not feel as if you are in danger during manic episodes. In fact, most people feel great during manic episodes. Unfortunately, this elated feeling also means you aren’t feeling like yourself. Manic episodes are characterized by poor decisions and interpersonal conflict. You might engage in risky behaviors, causing physical health, financial, or legal issues.
Better Behavioral Health Support
Even with proper treatment, bipolar disorder is an ongoing cycle. During treatment at Ingrained Recovery, we’ll work to find the perfect balance of medications for managing your symptoms. However, we also understand that medications are meant to provide support for bipolar disorder, not be the only part of treatment.
Things like structure, self-care habits, and proper sleep support your ongoing recovery. The behavioral health skills that you’ll learn in one-on-one and group therapy counseling further support the life you are building for yourself. They teach you that you might not be as powerless over your thoughts and feelings as you thought you were.

Bipolar Disorder Treatment Offered at Ingrained Recovery
When you choose Ingrained Recovery for bipolar disorder treatment, you’re doing so much more for your mental health than choosing what’s most convenient. You are picking a treatment center that will support your future goals. You won’t rely on medication for help, you’ll learn how to overcome mood swings, manic periods, and depressive issues by working from within.
While mood stabilizers can provide support, they shouldn’t be the only option. Instead, we use a personalized approach to help you come up with an individualized treatment program that reflects exactly what you need out of bipolar disorder recovery.
This means that while medication can be part of your treatment plan, clients who seek bipolar disorder treatment learn the best ways to manage their condition. When you do things like get enough sleep, regularly exercise, and eat foods that promote brain health, symptoms of this mental health condition aren’t as hard to manage. And, you’ll learn to recognize what a crisis looks like, so you can reach out when you need help.
Medication Management for Bipolar Disorder
Being properly medicated makes a world of difference in your recovery. Of course, mood stabilizers aren’t the only answer. This is why we use a holistic approach, healing your mind so you aren’t as reliant on medication. You may also be recommended antidepressants for depressive episodes or antipsychotics for intense bouts of mania.
With bipolar, one of the challenges is that your moods fluctuate, sometimes caused by what’s going on in the world around you. There’s also a risk of developing a tolerance for bipolar disorder medications, requiring a higher dose after time. We’ll connect you with mental health support near you, making it easy to follow up for continued medication management. This is just one way that we prove you don’t have to fight the battle against bipolar disorder alone.
Therapies for Bipolar Disorder
At Ingrained Recovery, we believe in doing what works. When treating a complex disorder like bipolar, an integrated approach involving several therapies works best. Each offers a unique benefit for managing the manic periods, depressive episodes, and strained relationships associated with bipolar disorder.
Family Therapy
Your family unit can play a huge role in your recovery from bipolar disorder, whether this looks like your parents and siblings or your spouse and kids. Family therapy is an opportunity for families to learn about bipolar disorder and be involved in the treatment process.
It’s also an opportunity to address past issues. Struggling with bipolar disorder can affect your relationships. You might lash out or do things that hurt people when you are manic or withdraw from your loved ones during depressive episodes.
Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy
This therapeutic approach has two parts; healing interpersonal relationships and establishing a routine. Routines are an essential part of treatment because they help you establish a standard or feeling of normalcy in your life. It’s also easier to form better sleep, nutrition, and self-care habits that make mood swings less severe and less frequent.
As you learn how to communicate and socially connect, you start to form healthier relationships. These relationships have healthy boundaries in place, making it easier to avoid being triggered.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Have you ever noticed that the way you think and feel plays a big role in mood stability and the way you react in certain situations? This part of bipolar disorder treatment teaches you how to control those negative thought patterns that trigger mood swings. You’ll learn better skills for coping with intense emotions and your triggers.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
Many people getting treatment for this manic-depressive illness benefit from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). This therapy teaches distress tolerance and emotional regulation. You’ll be guided in detaching from your emotions, something that helps significantly with the common symptoms of bipolar disorder.
Dual Diagnosis for Mental Health
Bipolar does not present the same in everyone. Proper treatment starts with an accurate diagnosis. You’ll work with one of our mental health professionals to determine how often you’re affected by depression and mania and how frequently you cycle between a manic or depressive episode.
This starts with labeling bipolar. Some people have Bipolar I Disorder, known for its intense manic episodes lasting longer than a week, while others struggle with Bipolar II Disorder, known for less intense periods of mania. In some cases, you might struggle with rapid cyclothymic disorder, a type of bipolar illness where your mood periods shift several times per year.
Bipolar can also occur alongside other mental health disorders like depression or anxiety disorders. If you are struggling with co-occurring issues, treating both is essential to avoid re-aggravating bipolar disorder and its symptoms.
Dual Diagnosis for Substance Use Disorder
With the constant ups and downs associated with bipolar disorder, it’s easy to turn to drugs or alcohol to self-regulate. You might seek out stimulants like meth or cocaine when you are depressed or rely on alcohol or opioids to calm you down when you’re manic. This unfortunately becomes a vicious cycle.
The best way to treat substance abuse along with treating bipolar disorder is dual diagnosis. Our GA bipolar disorder treatment facility specializes in dual-diagnosis cases.
Other Elements of Care at Our Bipolar Disorder Treatment Center
At Ingrained Recovery, you’ll work with an entire treatment team. You’ll receive nutritional support and guidance, get help with sleep support, and be encouraged to participate in group and recreational therapies. This includes things like meditation, art therapy, and music therapy, all of which provide a healthy outlet for the intense emotions that accompany bipolar disorder.
We also help our clients with aftercare, meaning the steps that you take once you leave our facility. By sticking to your personalized bipolar treatment plan, there’s a better chance of lasting recovery. This doesn’t mean that you’ll be able to shake mood swings permanently, but you will find yourself better equipped to handle the ups and downs of bipolar. You’ll also feel confident in reaching out to your support system, no matter what it looks like.
We can make referrals once you leave bipolar treatment, whether you need to find a sober living facility, mental health support, or want to participate in an intensive outpatient program or partial hospitalization program.
