Bipolar Disorder Treatment in Los Angeles
Get the Treatment You Need
Bipolar disorder is a complex mental health condition that involves extreme mood swings ranging from emotional highs, known as mania or hypomania, to depressive lows. The disorder, once referred to as manic-depressive illness, significantly affects a person’s energy, activity levels, judgment, and behavior. Individuals with bipolar disorder may find it challenging to maintain relationships, hold steady employment, and lead a balanced life due to the disruptive nature of the condition. Furthermore, those suffering from bipolar disorder often turn to drugs and alcohol to self-medicate, exacerbating both their mental health and substance use problems.
At BEST Luxury Recovery Center, a premier residential drug rehab and detox facility, we recognize that treating substance abuse alone is not enough when co-occurring mental health conditions, such as bipolar disorder, are present. Our specialized treatment programs address the underlying causes of addiction, including the challenges posed by bipolar disorder, to promote lasting recovery.
Bipolar disorder is categorized into several types:

Bipolar disorder typically manifests as distinct periods of mania or hypomania, where the individual may experience a heightened sense of euphoria, increased energy, and impulsive behavior, followed by periods of depression, where the person may feel deeply sad, fatigued, and even suicidal. These mood shifts can last for days, weeks, or even months, with varying degrees of severity.
The mood fluctuations associated with bipolar disorder can be incredibly disruptive and lead to impulsive and risky behaviors, poor decision-making, and strained relationships. For many, the emotional turmoil of the disorder creates a vulnerability to substance abuse as a way to cope with their symptoms.
Mental Health and Substance Abuse
People with bipolar disorder are significantly more likely to struggle with substance abuse compared to the general population. In fact, research suggests that more than 60% of individuals with bipolar disorder will experience some form of substance abuse during their lifetime. This comorbidity can be attributed to several factors:
Many individuals with bipolar disorder turn to drugs or alcohol in an attempt to regulate their moods. For example, during depressive episodes, they may use substances like alcohol or sedatives to numb their feelings of sadness and despair. During manic or hypomanic episodes, stimulants or other energizing substances may be used to heighten the euphoria or keep up with the increased energy levels.
Mania and hypomania often lead to impulsive behaviors, including risky drug or alcohol use. A person in a manic episode may not fully recognize the consequences of their actions, leading to dangerous substance use patterns.
For many people with bipolar disorder, the fluctuations in mood can feel unbearable. Drugs and alcohol may provide a temporary escape from the emotional roller coaster, offering short-term relief but ultimately leading to long-term addiction.
Unfortunately, while substances may offer temporary relief, they often aggravate the symptoms of bipolar disorder in the long run. Substance abuse can trigger more frequent and severe mood episodes, create additional mental health challenges, and hinder the individual’s ability to find stability.
