Bipolar Disorder Therapy

Bipolar disorder is almost always treated with medications to balance moods and allow you to function without the wild swings that can make so many aspects of life a challenge. Ongoing therapies combined with a lifetime medication regimen can effectively manage bipolar disorder.

Some of the most effective therapies for bipolar disorder are available at Mile High Recovery Center. They include:

• Psychoeducation: Knowledge is power. Part of your bipolar disorder therapy will be learning about bipolar disorder, understanding how treatment works, and developing coping skills. Relapse prevention is emphasized, and you will learn why continuity of treatment is so critical.
• Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT’s effectiveness lies in its ability to help you replace negative belief systems with healthy thoughts and beliefs. By realigning thought patterns in a positive direction, you can manage stress, become less reactive, and avoid things that trigger bipolar episodes.
• Family therapy: At Mile High, we are fully aware of the benefits of family therapy both for addiction recovery and mental health treatment. It is particularly effective for treating bipolar disorder as the support and understanding of your loved ones is an enormous part of treatment success.
• Medication management: We have psychiatrists and other prescribers who can manage your medication as you begin bipolar disorder therapy.
