Types of Therapy

Types of Therapy We Use to Treat Depression

Blue Ridge is one of the leading residential treatment centers in Georgia that offers a number of effective treatment models for the management of bipolar disorder. Through years of experience with treating individuals with this disorder we have found that the best treatment is a combination of medication management, traditional therapy, and experiential techniques.

Medication is used to help individuals who are diagnosed with bipolar disorder more adequately manage their symptoms. The types of medication will depend on the type of bipolar disorder and the severity of your symptoms. While medication is usually needed on a long-term basis, the dosage may be altered as you learn new coping skills that will aid in symptom management throughout . Medication management will be provided by your treatment team. You will work with them to determine which medications work best for you.

Individual therapy gives you the opportunity to work closely with a trained therapist to sort through concerns you have with your current condition. This a more intimate setting in which you will learn to cope with your symptoms, identify stressors, and discover how to deal with any other co-occurring mental illnesses.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is commonly used at our treatment center during rehab to help you identify your destructive thinking patterns and the resulting negative behavior. By changing your thoughts to more constructive thoughts you can begin to change your behavior as well.

Reality-based therapy (RT) focuses upon your most current problems instead of looking back at past issues. Through this therapy you will learn problem-solving skills that will be practiced through different exercises such as role playing. These techniques will help you to deal with struggles related to your bipolar disorder.

Group therapy is a major component to the residential rehab offered here at Blue Ridge. We want you to connect with other individuals facing similar struggles so that you can learn from each other’s experiences. While you gain additional support you can work together to learn more effective coping strategies. We offer both process and psycho-educational groups that focus on a variety of topics depending on the session.

Finally another important portion of our treatment is family therapy. Family sessions will be used to help identify and work through existing family dynamics that may have exacerbated your disorder. We also hold a 2-day intensive family workshop here at our treatment center in Gerogia where your family members will learn about your bipolar disorder and how they can contribute to your recovery process.

We also provide additional non-traditional methods to assist with your recovery. These include:

  • Recreational programming
  • Guided meditation
  • Spiritual therapy
  • Art programming
  • Nutritional counseling
  • Role playing
  • A.A. and N.A.

After Treatment

Continuing Care – What Comes Next?

Before you are discharged from our residential treatment you will work with your treatment team to establish an effective aftercare plan. Together you will determine which type of continuing care will be best for your current needs.

Whether you will be transferring to an intensive outpatient program such as Partial Hospital Program (PHP) or an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) or traditional outpatient therapy, we will help set everything up to make the transition as smooth as possible. All of these programs provide less structure than residential treatment, but still offer a variety of therapeutic services to help you continue to recover from bipolar disorder.

If you are returning home, we will help to connect you with a local outpatient provider in Georgia or elsewhere and set up an appointment time to ensure there are no lapses in your recovery. We want to make sure that you getting the continued support you need to be successful in your recovery.

I will always recommend Blue Ridge to anyone that wants recovery from addiction.
