Various proven techniques are integrated into care. Here are some that are effective in reducing bipolar disorder symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
This approach is built on the tenets of CBT but emphasizes more mindful emotion regulation. DBT focuses on distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness to promote improved overall well-being.
Psychoeducation
This approach involves systematically teaching individuals and their families about the nature of the illness, how to recognize warning signs of emerging episodes, and the importance of medication management, therapy treatment, and lifestyle changes.
Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT)
This therapy is based on the theory that the disruption of regular routines, such as meal time, sleep, and social activities, can increase the risk of manic episodes. It helps individuals build daily routines while learning to manage stressors and relationship conflicts.
Family Therapy Sessions
Given that the environment plays a vital role in stabilization, families are often brought into therapy sessions to understand how to create an atmosphere that supports their loved one’s well-being and to learn more about the condition.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Most widely used for bipolar disorder, cognitive behavioral therapy helps individuals identify the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and learn to interrupt patterns that contribute to intense mood swings. When adapted for bipolar disorder, it often includes mood monitoring, early warning sign detection, and treatments that address depressive and manic bipolar symptoms before they escalate.
Group Therapy and Peer Support
A group approach fosters a sense of shared understanding, which can be valuable in the treatment process. Connecting with others who have faced similar challenges can reduce shame, combat isolation, and reinforce coping skills.
Treating Co-Occurring Bipolar Disorder and Drug and Alcohol Addiction
When bipolar disorder isn’t properly treated, many people turn to drugs and alcohol to manage their symptoms. While substance abuse can provide temporary relief, it often leads people on a downward spiral. An addiction forms, requiring a dual diagnosis approach that simultaneously treats both disorders.
BlueCrest’s addiction treatment programs offer care for bipolar disorder and substance abuse, providing the following treatment approaches:
Assessment
We carefully assess each client, considering their medical history, past drug use, and mental health condition to determine a personalized plan and recovery process suited to their needs.

Understanding Bipolar Disorders Symptoms
Bipolar disorder is a condition impacting 1% to 2% of the population, about 40-60 million people. It causes significant shifts in mood and energy that go well beyond normal mood fluctuations. Individuals often experience manic and depressive episodes, soaring from uplifting highs to deeply depressive lows.
The condition can manifest in different ways, as follows:
- Bipolar I - Defined by at least one manic episode lasting 7+ days (or less if hospitalization is required). Depressive episodes typically follow but aren't required for diagnosis. This is generally considered the most severe form of the condition.
- Bipolar II – Characterized by a pattern of depressive episodes and hypomanic episodes (less intense than full mania), without full manic episodes. The condition is often underdiagnosed because hypomania can feel productive or go unnoticed.
- Cyclothymic Disorder (Cyclothymia) – A milder, chronic form of bipolar disorder involving numerous periods of hypomanic and depressive symptoms over at least 2 years, without meeting full criteria for hypomanic or major depressive episodes.
- Other Specified / Unspecified Bipolar Disorders – Conditions that don't fit neatly into the above categories but still involve clinically significant mood cycling.
