Bipolar And Addiction Treatment Centers

Bipolar Disorder

Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder

At Alta Loma, we understand that symptoms of bipolar disorder can be incredibly challenging for both the individuals experiencing them and their loved ones. Bipolar disorder is characterized by extreme shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. These mood episodes are categorized as manic, hypomanic, or depressive. During a manic episode, an individual may feel euphoric, full of energy, or unusually irritable. Conversely, depressive episodes can result in feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of energy.

Causes of Bipolar Disorder

The exact causes of bipolar disorder remain under study, yet it is widely believed to result from a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurological factors. At Alta Loma, we focus on understanding these underlying causes to provide targeted treatment for our residents, aiming for a holistic approach that addresses the root of the disorder.

Diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder

Diagnosis often involves a comprehensive evaluation that includes a physical examination, an interview, and a review of the individual’s medical and family history. Proper diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment, and our seasoned professionals at Alta Loma are adept at conducting these thorough assessments to ensure personalized care plans.

Treatment Options for Bipolar Disorder

  • Medication for Bipolar Disorder: Medications such as mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, and antidepressants form a cornerstone of bipolar disorder treatment. At Alta Loma, we offer meticulous medication management to maintain stability and minimize side effects.
  • Therapy for Bipolar Disorder: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychoeducation, and supportive psychotherapy are essential components of our treatment plans. These therapeutic interventions help residents understand their condition and develop coping strategies.
  • Lifestyle Changes for Bipolar Disorder: Encouraging healthy lifestyle changes, such as regular physical activity, a balanced diet, and good sleep hygiene, is integral to long-term stability for our residents.

Dual Diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder and Addiction

Individuals with bipolar disorder are at a higher risk of developing substance abuse issues. At Alta Loma, we specialize in dual diagnosis treatment, addressing both mental health disorders and addiction simultaneously to ensure comprehensive recovery.

Types of Addiction

  • Substance use disorders, including alcohol and drug addiction.
  • Behavioral addictions, such as gambling, eating disorders, or compulsive shopping.

Causes of Addiction

Addiction often results from a complex interplay of genetic predisposition, environmental influences, and psychological factors. Understanding these causes is vital in developing personal treatment plans that work.
