BPD Recovery and Treatment Services

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a psychological disorder that affects how you feel and think about yourself and can disrupt daily functions. Borderline personality disorder is characterized by difficulty controlling your emotions and behavior, issues with your self-image, and a pattern of unstable relationships. The onset of this disorder typically occurs during early adulthood. It can be more acute in young adults and may gradually improve with age.

If you are a person with BPD, you may fear abandonment or instability and may find it difficult to tolerate being alone. You may find that anger, impulsiveness, and mood swings drive others away even when you want lasting, loving relationships. Luckily, a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder doesn’t have to stand in your way—BPD recovery is possible.

Borderline personality disorder is treatable, and you can go on to live a fulfilling and happy life.

BPD Recovery and Treatment Planning Based on Rigorous Assessment

As someone with borderline personality disorder, you deserve an individualized treatment plan. Origins provides comprehensive treatment plans that consider every aspect of your well-being: body, mind, and spirit.

At Origins, we support you as you participate in comprehensive behavioral health assessments to ensure that all your mental health problems are diagnosed and treated.

Along with clinical interviews and sessions with your primary therapist, these thorough assessments provide a framework for a truly customized treatment plan to meet your unique needs.

Your comprehensive treatment plan for borderline personality disorder recovery may include the following:

BPD and Addiction

Research has found that anywhere between 65% and 90% of patients with a substance use problem have at least one co-occurring personality disorder. There appears to be a high degree of overlap between these conditions, as disorders such as BPD are more likely to make you act compulsively.

Alcohol and other drug misuse do not cause personality disorders, but addiction and borderline personality disorder co-occur at a high rate. These two co-occurring disorders must be treated simultaneously, in the same location, and by the same treatment team to be effective. Our expertly trained professionals have decades of experience in BPD recovery and addiction treatment, and we help you address co-occurring disorders through multidisciplinary, medically intensive programming.

Borderline Personality Disorder Symptoms

Borderline personality disorder can have a profound effect on your emotions, your relationships, and your behavior.

Symptoms and signs of BPD include the following:

  • An acute fear of being abandoned that may lead to extreme measures to avoid rejection or separation
  • A tendency towards intensifying or destabilizing relationships, such as idealizing someone one moment and believing they don’t care the next
  • Rapid changes in goals or values
  • Self-image and self-identity changes
  • Stress-related paranoia and dissociation from reality that lasts for several minutes to several hours
  • Risky behavior that may include driving recklessly, engaging in dangerous sexual activities, binge eating, substance use, excessive spending sprees, or sabotaging your own success
  • Self-injurious or suicidal behavior based on the fear of separation or rejection
  • Mood swings like intense joy, shame, anger, or anxiety that can last several hours or even days
  • Emptiness and feelings of unworthiness
  • Anger that is expressed inappropriately, such as often losing your temper, being bitter or sarcastic, or getting into a physical confrontation

Additionally, you may turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with your BPD symptoms. While these short-term fixes may appear to work, they could cause a substance use disorder and other problems in the long run.
