Everyone experiences mood swings in life, but for those with bi-polar disorder, these ups and downs take on larger proportions. Extended periods of euphoria alternate with lethargy and depression. Once known as manic depression, this mental disorder frequently co-occurs with substance abuse and requires dual diagnosis treatment. For Christians in drug and alcohol rehab, bi-polar disorder can contribute to feelings of hopelessness and spiritual abandonment.
There is no clear cause for bi-polar disorder, although there is strong evidence of a genetic link. Substance abuse is also thought to be a factor, although its role is not clear. Scientists have detected chemical imbalances in the brains of bi-polar individuals, and the use of drugs may have triggered this imbalance. On the other hand, individuals with the undiagnosed disorder may self-medicate with addictive drugs and alcohol to relieve bipolar symptoms like insomnia and anxiety, or to numb the pain of feeling separated from God.
The manic or high-energy phase of bi-polar disorder is marked by:
Characteristics of the depressive phase include:
Diagnosing the condition is difficult, especially when it is coupled with drug or alcohol abuse since the characteristic mood swings may be attributed to drugs or alcohol. In addition to the comprehensive medical and psychiatric assessment that is a part of our dual diagnosis treatment, our Christian rehab specialists also check for indicators in family history and analyze the onset and frequency of mood swings in order to make an accurate diagnosis.
At our faith-based alcohol and drug rehab center, we know that for the most effective results, bi-polar disorder, substance abuse, and spiritual isolation must all be treated at the same time. Although there is no cure for bipolar disorder, the symptoms of the condition can be successfully managed with non-addictive mood stabilizing medications and therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to retrain the brain.
In addition, supportive therapies and pastoral counseling help our bipolar clients to:
At Christians Drug Rehab, we know that treatment for a co-occurring mental condition like bipolar disorder is essential for successful rehab. We also know that therapy and medicine are not enough to heal the spiritual void that often accompanies substance abuse and mental illness. At our CA drug rehab center, we treat the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—with compassionate, faith-based support and the healing teachings of Jesus Christ.
We use the power of prayer, therapeutic workshops, Christian fellowship, church services, evidence-based treatment practices, our treatment centers, and professionals to help you reconcile and restore broken relationships. Additionally, addiction treatment will consist of helping you reclaim your inner strength and dignity through a renewed faith in Jesus. Our substance abuse treatment is based on pillars of faith in a higher power, forgiveness, which has been proven to help individuals more effectively abstain from substance abuse.
Entering treatment is one of the most important investments you will make in life. Our Christian drug rehab understands your need for a smooth transition into addiction treatment—after all, it has already been a challenging road. Therefore, we want to mitigate the difficulty of determining how to finance drug abuse rehab. Because we believe the cost of addiction treatment shouldn’t be prohibitive, we have contracts with several PPO insurance providers to help pay for treatment. Here is a list of insurance providers we work with:
