Borderline Personality Disorder Treatment Options

What BPD Is and How It Develops

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is an example of a mental health concern that is often misunderstood and misrepresented. There are a number of risk factors that are recognized for borderline personality disorder. This includes environmental, genetic, and social factors. While we may recognize these risk factors, we also know that the presence of these factors in your life doesn’t mean that you will develop borderline personality disorder.

Individuals who have a close family member who has BPD may be at a higher risk themselves because of shared genetic traits. We have learned that individuals with BPD have structural and functional differences within their brains that are believed to be contributing factors as well.

Lastly, many individuals who are living with BPD have a history of traumatic life events and experiences.

SOBA is a New Jersey borderline personality disorder treatment facility that provides both inpatient and outpatient treatment options. This allows us to support you during each step of your recovery. To learn more about our treatment options, we invite you to call SOBA New Jersey today.

What is Borderline Personality Disorder?

Individuals who are living with borderline personality disorder have difficulty coping with and managing their emotions. This difficulty can often result in impulsivity and can affect their self-esteem and their relationships with others. They can experience intense mood swings and experience shifts in their values and interests.

Many individuals are diagnosed in their late adolescence or early adulthood. In some cases, an individual may be diagnosed before the age of 18 if their symptoms meet the criteria.

If you have been struggling with your BPD symptoms and drugs or alcohol, you may benefit from borderline personality disorder treatment in New Jersey. Dual-diagnosis treatment at SOBA is available in both inpatient and outpatient treatment options to ensure that you receive the support you need at each step in your recovery.

What Are Some Signs and Symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder?

Before we get into the signs and symptoms associated with borderline personality disorder, it is important to note that you can experience one or many symptoms associated with this health concern without actually having BPD. Signs and symptoms on their own can be caused by a number of factors besides BPD. If you are struggling with your emotions or impulsiveness, therapy can help you learn new skills that can provide you with the tools needed to cope with your emotions and behaviors.

Signs and symptoms associated with borderline personality disorder include:

• Actively trying to avoid real or perceived abandonment
• Thought patterns fall into extremes
• A history of intense and unstable relationships
• An unstable sense of self or self-image
• Impulsivity
• Engaging in high-risk behaviors (spending sprees, unsafe sex, substance misuse, binge eating)
• Feeling empty inside
• Difficulty with anger
• Dissociation
• Engaging in self-harm behaviors

The Connection Between Borderline Personality Disorder and Addiction

Research has shown that 78% of individuals living with BPD develop a substance use disorder at some point in their life. Individuals who are living with BPD have a higher risk of developing a substance use disorder if they are impulsive or are struggling with their BPD symptoms.

For many mental health concerns, alcohol and drugs can provide a brief reprieve from symptoms. This is no different for those who are living with BPD. While substances feel as though they are providing relief, they may actually be making things worse. Substance misuse increases a person’s risk of developing an addiction.

SOBA is a New Jersey borderline personality disorder rehab that can provide you with detoxification, inpatient programming, outpatient programming, and sober living options. To learn more about how our program can support you, we encourage you to call SOBA New Jersey now!

Treatment Options for Borderline Personality Disorder and Addiction

When someone is struggling with BPD and an addiction, it is important that you look for treatment providers who offer dual-diagnosis care. More times than not, when you have two mental health concerns, they can be intertwined and impact each other. As an example, if someone is experiencing emotional distress or other BPD symptoms, they may turn to substances to ease their emotional discomfort.

The treatment that you need will be dependent on the severity of your symptoms. Detoxification is a common step for individuals who are in active addiction because you are able to receive medical support and supervision as your body adjusts to the natural changes that come with recovery.

Inpatient treatment options, such as rehab programming, can provide you with addiction treatment and specialized treatment for your BPD within some treatment facilities. Outpatient treatment programs can continue providing you support as you progress through your recovery. Again, the important detail is that you are receiving support for all your mental health concerns instead of one or the other.

Borderline Personality Disorder Treatment at SOBA New Jersey

When you are struggling with a substance use disorder, other mental health concerns that you have been living with often suffer. This is true for individuals who have been living with borderline personality disorder. You may have worked with a counselor in the past and learned skills that helped you cope with your symptoms; however, active addiction takes the focus away from what you need to do and hones in on supporting your addiction.

Living with other mental health concerns and addiction can make recovery feel overwhelming. You may have found that substances help you cope with your symptoms, which masked your BPD.

Dual-diagnosis treatment programs are designed for individuals like you who are looking to balance all of their mental health needs.
