Understanding Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is a complex mood disorder characterized by alternating episodes of depression and mania or hypomania. These mood changes can affect how a person thinks, feels, and behaves, impacting daily functioning, decision-making, and overall quality of life.
There are several types of bipolar disorder, including:

Bipolar I Disorder, involving manic episodes that may be severe or require hospitalization.
Bipolar II Disorder, featuring hypomanic episodes and major depressive episodes.
Cyclothymic Disorder, with milder, fluctuating mood changes over an extended period.

No matter the type or severity, bipolar disorder is treatable. With the right combination of therapy, support, and structure, individuals can achieve long-term stability and thrive in their daily lives.

Holgate Mental Health’s Approach to Bipolar Disorder Treatment

At Holgate Mental Health, our adult outpatient mental health program provides clinically guided care for individuals struggling with mood instability, depression, and emotional dysregulation. Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offer the structure of a treatment center with the flexibility to maintain daily routines and personal responsibilities.

We take a multidisciplinary, evidence-based approach, combining psychotherapy, skill-building, and medication management when clinically indicated. Each client receives a personalized treatment plan developed by a team of licensed clinicians, including psychiatrists, therapists, and case managers, all dedicated to helping adults achieve mental and emotional balance.

Evidence-Based Therapies for Lasting Stability

Our bipolar disorder treatment programs integrate proven therapeutic modalities that promote emotional regulation, cognitive balance, and self-awareness. Some of the core therapies we offer include:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT helps individuals identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns that can trigger mood episodes. Clients learn practical strategies for managing stress, regulating emotions, and improving daily functioning.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT is particularly beneficial for individuals who experience emotional intensity and impulsivity. Through DBT skills groups and one-on-one sessions, clients learn mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Trauma Therapy and EMDR: Many adults with bipolar disorder also experience past trauma, which can exacerbate symptoms. Our trauma-informed clinicians use approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help process traumatic memories safely and effectively.
Psychoeducation and Relapse Prevention: Understanding bipolar disorder is key to long-term stability. Clients and their families receive education about symptom management, medication adherence, and lifestyle adjustments that support consistent mood regulation.

By integrating these therapies within a structured treatment setting, clients gain both clinical insight and practical tools to manage bipolar disorder with confidence.

Structure, Support, and Community

Bipolar disorder often requires more comprehensive care than traditional weekly therapy. Our PHP and IOP levels of care provide adults with a structured environment to practice coping strategies, stabilize mood, and reconnect with daily life.

In our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), clients attend treatment five days a week, receiving intensive clinical support while returning home each evening. This program is ideal for those experiencing acute mood symptoms or transitioning from inpatient hospitalization.

Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers a step-down level of care, typically involving three to five therapy sessions per week. This level supports individuals who are stable enough for more independence but still benefit from structured therapeutic engagement. Both programs emphasize:

Ongoing clinical assessment and medication management
Group and individual therapy sessions
Peer support and therapeutic community involvement
Skill development in emotional regulation, communication, and mindfulness

Through this combination of structure and support, clients find a safe, encouraging environment to heal and regain a sense of stability.
