Borderline Personality Disorder

Treatment

At Keys Behavioral Health, we provide comprehensive support for substance abuse and mental health challenges, helping individuals unlock their potential for a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a complex mental health condition characterized by intense emotional instability, impulsive behaviors, distorted self-image, and unstable relationships. Individuals with BPD often experience intense episodes of anger, depression, and anxiety that can last from a few hours to a few days. They may also struggle with feelings of emptiness, fear of abandonment, and self-harm behaviors.

Our Approach to BPD Treatment

At Keys Behavioral Health, we understand the unique challenges faced by individuals with BPD. Our treatment approach is comprehensive, evidence-based, and tailored to meet the specific needs of each client. We focus on helping individuals gain control over their emotions, develop healthier relationships, and build a more stable and fulfilling life.

Personalized Treatment Plans

We believe that effective treatment for BPD requires a personalized approach. Our multidisciplinary team of mental health professionals works collaboratively to develop individualized treatment plans that may include:

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): A cornerstone of BPD treatment, DBT helps individuals learn skills to manage intense emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviors, and improve relationships. DBT includes individual therapy, group skills training, phone coaching, and therapist consultation.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps clients identify and change distorted thinking patterns and behaviors associated with BPD. CBT focuses on improving emotional regulation and coping mechanisms.
Medication Management: In some cases, medications may be prescribed to help manage symptoms such as mood swings, depression, or anxiety. Our psychiatrists work closely with clients to monitor and adjust medications as needed.
Individual Therapy: Provides a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore their emotions, understand their behaviors, and work on personal goals.
Group Therapy: Offers a supportive community where clients can share experiences, gain insights, and practice new skills in a group setting.
Family Therapy: Involves family members in the treatment process to help them understand BPD, improve communication, and provide support to their loved one.

Skills Training

Learning and practicing new skills is a crucial part of BPD treatment. Our DBT skills training focuses on four key areas:

Mindfulness: Enhancing awareness of the present moment and reducing impulsive reactions.
Distress Tolerance: Developing strategies to tolerate and survive crises without making them worse.
Emotion Regulation: Learning to identify and manage intense emotions.
Interpersonal Effectiveness: Improving communication skills and building healthier relationships.

Holistic Therapies

In addition to traditional therapies, we offer holistic approaches to support overall well-being, such as mindfulness practices, yoga, art therapy, and other complementary therapies that promote relaxation and self-expression.

Continuum of Care

Recovery from BPD is a journey that requires ongoing support. We provide a continuum of care that includes outpatient services, support groups, and aftercare planning to ensure clients have the resources they need to maintain their progress and prevent relapse.
