Overview
What is BPD & addiction treatment?
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) involves intense emotional swings, difficulty with relationships, impulsivity, and a deep fear of abandonment. It frequently co-occurs with substance use disorder, as substances are often used to manage overwhelming emotions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — developed specifically for BPD — is central to integrated treatment.
DBT-informed treatment
Dialectical Behavior Therapy was developed specifically for BPD and is a cornerstone of our approach.
Psychiatric evaluation
A licensed psychiatrist assesses BPD symptoms alongside substance use, since the two often present together in complex ways.
Emotional regulation skills
Distress tolerance and emotion regulation skills directly target the impulsivity that drives substance use.
Relationship-focused therapy
Interpersonal effectiveness skills help rebuild relationships strained by BPD and addiction.
Who this program is for
This program is for anyone with diagnosed or suspected BPD who is also using substances — particularly those experiencing intense emotional swings, impulsivity, unstable relationships, or self-destructive patterns alongside substance use. A formal diagnosis is not required to begin treatment.
Recognizing the overlap
How BPD and addiction reinforce each other.
Substances are often used to manage the emotional intensity that defines BPD — understanding this is central to recovery.
Signs of BPD
Intense, rapidly shifting emotions
Fear of abandonment
Unstable relationships
Impulsivity
How It Connects to Substance Use
Substances used to numb emotional pain
Impulsivity extends to substance use
Substance use intensifies mood instability
Relationship instability complicates recovery
The process
What to expect.
DBT gives you concrete skills to manage emotional intensity — not just willpower.
Psychiatric & substance assessment
Your clinical team evaluates BPD symptoms and substance use patterns together, recognizing how closely the two are often connected.
DBT skills training
You begin learning core DBT skills — mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Individual & group therapy
Individual sessions address personal patterns, while group DBT skills training builds practical tools used in daily life.
Relapse & crisis planning
Your team helps you build a plan for managing intense emotions and urges without resorting to substances or self-destructive behavior.
Why DBT matters
Without DBT skills, the cycle repeats.
Willpower alone rarely resolves the emotional intensity at the core of BPD. DBT provides concrete, practiced skills for managing distress without turning to substances.

Call nowWhat is DBT?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy is an evidence-based treatment developed specifically for BPD. It teaches concrete skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Do I need a formal BPD diagnosis to start treatment?
No. If you recognize patterns of intense emotions, impulsivity, or relationship instability alongside substance use, our clinical team can help — a formal diagnosis isn't required to begin.
Is BPD treatment covered by insurance?
Yes — mental health treatment is an essential health benefit under federal law. We verify your specific PPO benefits before admission, at no cost.
How long does DBT take to show results?
DBT is typically a longer-term therapy, though many clients notice improvements in specific skills, like distress tolerance, within weeks. Our team builds a realistic timeline with you.
Can BPD be treated alongside addiction at the same time?
Yes — this integrated approach is exactly what we specialize in. Treating BPD and addiction separately often leads to incomplete progress on both.
What happens after BPD treatment ends?
Your discharge plan includes continued DBT skills groups, individual therapy, and addiction support, since BPD treatment is most effective with ongoing care.
