78% of people with borderline personality disorder (BPD) also have a substance use disorder.
If you or your loved one are part of that statistic, know you certainly aren’t alone. So many people feel your pain – including us.
At Wolf Creek Recovery, we know what substance use disorders are like. We’ve lived them ourselves. Our experience in this field also allows us to treat mental health conditions, but more importantly, both of them together.
When you combine a condition like BPD with a substance use disorder, the situation requires additional care, compassion, and expertise. It also requires a deep understanding of how substance use and mental health conditions influence each other. We offer treatment that will address both to foster the most comprehensive healing possible.
That’s what we do at Wolf Creek.
What We Treat: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Substance Use Disorders
Living with borderline personality disorder (BPD) can feel like walking a tightrope across a massive canyon. One misstep might set your loved one off and send them tumbling into dangerous circumstances. You live in a constant state of fear of hurting them accidentally and causing that tightrope to snap. At the same time, it feels like you’re always in pain, too. The accusations, the hot-and-cold, and the tests of your love all hurt.
Having BPD or having a loved one with BPD is difficult. No matter which side of the equation you’re on, it’s a condition full of extremes, instability, and heartache. The stakes always feel high, and everything is incredibly complex.
When substance use disorders come into play, it can make your situation feel insurmountable.
The truth is, there is no easy cure for BPD. Managing it is trying and tiring, but it is possible – and so is lasting recovery from substance use disorders. Wolf Creek can teach you and your loved one skills and strategies to lessen the force of BPD in your lives and leave substances behind. While BPD doesn’t have to overpower every aspect of who you are. There is life beyond BPD and substance use, and it’s one worth finding. Let us help.
How We Treat: What to Expect From Borderline Personality Disorder Treatment With Wolf Creek Recovery
Treatment with Wolf Creek always starts with a detailed assessment. This guides us when we work together on your personalized treatment plan. We’ll address both your substance use disorder and BPD together, because they impact each other significantly.
You’ll come to our facility for therapy during the day, then return to housing provided by Wolf Creek in the evening. Our skilled and compassionate staff will be available to make sure you’re safe and comfortable.
BPD treatment primarily focuses on talk therapy – specifically dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). This method zeroes in on extreme emotions and teaches you how to process, manage, and cope with them more healthily. You’ll also learn how to communicate your feelings more productively, too.
Trauma therapy can also play a major role in your treatment. 70% of people with BPD have at least one traumatic childhood experience, and researchers believe it contributes to the development of the condition. Facing and healing from your trauma is an important part of conquering your BPD, and Wolf Creek’s trauma therapy is an area where we really shine.
You’ll also spend some of your time with us outside, enjoying team sports, canoeing, camping, paddle boarding, and more. You’ll build relationships with other people in treatment, learn problem-solving skills, have some fun, and maybe pick up a new hobby or two while you’re at it.
Borderline Personality Disorder Symptoms: How to Know if BPD Treatment Is Right for You
If you have any symptoms of BPD, therapy will help. The symptoms are painful, and in some cases, even dangerous. Keep in mind that you need to see a mental health professional to receive a diagnosis of BPD.
What Is Borderline Personality Disorder? What Does It Look Like?
Borderline personality disorder is a mental health condition characterized by unstable moods and relationships. Impulsivity is also a core feature, and people with this condition are prone to self-harm and recklessness. People with BPD usually have an unclear sense of themselves and an intense fear of abandonment. Sometimes, they’ll fixate on one person and build their identity around them, reacting extremely to any perceived abandonment by them. That being said, if these symptoms sound familiar, it’s a good idea to look into getting help:
- Fear of abandonment
- Emotionally intense and unstable relationships
- A confused and fluctuating sense of identity and self
- Extreme mood swings
- Impulsive behavior
- Feelings of emptiness
- Explosive anger
- Occasional paranoia
