Bipolar Treatment Center Arizona
Residential Bipolar Disorder Treatment for Adults With Mood Instability
About Bipolar Disorder
If you or a loved one is searching for a bipolar treatment center in Arizona, Legacy Recovery Center provides the specialized psychiatric care and residential support needed for lasting mood stabilization. Unlike the typical “good days” and “bad days” that we all have, a person with bipolar disorder experiences extreme mood swings and behavioral changes that significantly disrupt daily life, relationships, and the ability to function normally.
Once commonly referred to as manic depression, bipolar disorder sufferers have weeklong periods of mania followed by depressive periods that typically last for two weeks. Bipolar disorder alters the way the individual thinks, feels and acts, which can negatively impact the ability to live a normal life. Personal relationships, jobs and financial stability are affected, sometimes to the point at which the individual no longer functions in a “normal” manner.
Symptoms vary. In their manic state, individuals may experience intense euphoria, impulsive behavior, agitation, an inflated sense of self, talking too fast or too much, overspending and engagement in risky behaviors. During a depressive episode, people with this disorder tend to feel sad, hopeless and/or guilty, are apathetic, lack energy, sleep too much or too little, cannot concentrate, seem slow or restless, and may have suicidal thoughts.
People with bipolar disorder seem to be at higher risk for developing a co-occurring substance use disorder. They begin to abuse alcohol or drugs as a way to self-medicate and then become dependent on these substances to help them cope with their seesawing moods.
Do I need treatment for Bipolar Disorder?
If you struggle with bipolar disorder, you don’t have to suffer alone. Treatments are available to help you regulate your moods so you live a normal, happy and productive life. The bipolar disorder specialists at Legacy Recovery Center in Chandler, Arizona will help. Psychiatrists Dr. Roland Segal and Dr. Ehab Abdallah have more than four decades of combined experience in treating mental health conditions. Their expertise and hands-on care mean you receive the highest-quality residential bipolar treatment available today.
As one of Arizona’s leading bipolar treatment centers, we treat bipolar disorder with a combination of medication, psychiatric care, and individual and group therapies. You work with a psychiatrist to determine whether you need mood-stabilization medication and the optimal dosage and timing for managing your symptoms. In addition to medication, individuals with bipolar disorder undergo psychosocial treatment to help them stay on their medications, better understand their illness and its consequences, and improve their day-to-day functioning.
Treatment Options for Bipolar Disorder
Individual, evidence-based therapy is provided to address underlying issues. The therapies that work best for bipolar disorder are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). At our bipolar treatment center, therapy is always individualized no two treatment plans are the same.
Our group therapy sessions are led by a skilled mental health professional who encourages group members to communicate with others who have the same disorder. Together, you begin the healing process as you learn to cope with your condition and realize that you are far from alone.
Bipolar disorder often co-occurs with depression, anxiety, and trauma. When these conditions overlap, our clinical team addresses the full picture rather than a single diagnosis providing integrated mental health treatment that treats the whole person.
When Residential Bipolar Treatment May Be Appropriate
Residential care at our bipolar treatment center in Arizona may be the right level of support if:
- Mood episodes manic or depressive have not stabilized with outpatient care alone
- Impulsive behavior, self-destructive episodes, or suicidal thoughts are putting safety at risk
- Bipolar disorder occurs alongside substance use or another mental health condition
- A structured, 24/7 environment is needed to stabilize medications and begin consistent therapy
