Many people who struggle with addiction also suffer from symptoms of a mental illness. Some people turn to drugs and alcohol to help them cope with the symptoms they are experiencing, leading to the development of a substance use disorder. Others battling addiction might develop the symptoms of a mental illness. When an individual suffers from both a mental illness and addiction, it is referred to as a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders. Recovery from these health conditions is possible, but the individual must seek treatment for both concerns.

Some of the substance use disorders an individual might struggle with include alcohol addiction, marijuana addiction, cocaine addiction, or opioid addiction. A type of mental illness that can commonly co-occur with addiction is borderline personality disorder. Individuals suffering from borderline personality disorder typically experience a pattern of unstable and intense relationships, uncertainty about their self-image, and impulsive behavior. When an individual struggles with borderline personality disorder, they commonly experience an extreme fear of abandonment and constant feelings of emptiness.

Borderline personality disorder might make an individual feel highly reactive to the people closest to them, causing them to experience anxiety, paranoia, dysphoria, or dissociation when they experience stress in relationships with friends or loved ones. It is also common for people living with borderline personality disorder to have difficulty controlling their anger, experiencing frequent, intense outbursts. And for many people suffering from untreated borderline personality disorder, the risk of suicidal behavior can be dangerously high.

At Bradford Recovery Center in Millerton, Pennsylvania, we provide residential treatment for adults age 18 and older who are struggling with a primary addiction diagnosis. We also help adults suffering from co-occurring borderline personality disorder in addition to addiction. Our caring and compassionate staff can help you or your loved find the treatment solution that best fits your recovery needs, getting you on the path toward long-term health and wellness.

Why Consider Treatment at Bradford

Why consider getting co-occurring borderline personality disorder treatment at Bradford Recovery Center in Millerton, PA

When you or someone you love suffers from addiction with co-occurring borderline personality disorder, you run the risk of experiencing many different negative effects the longer you wait to seek treatment. People struggling with untreated borderline personality disorder in addition to addiction may have trouble maintaining healthy relationships. They might idealize potential romantic partners or caregivers and attempt to create a close bond very quickly. But they may just as quickly turn from idealizing a person to feeling like that person does not care about them enough or give enough in their relationship. This pattern of intensity and instability can make it quite difficult to build and maintain close relationships.

When a person suffers from untreated addiction that coexists with borderline personality disorder, they may be uncertain about how they see themselves or how they feel about themselves and may continually change their career plans, values, or opinions. They may act out impulsively in ways that could be harmful, such as spending excessive amounts of money, binge eating, driving recklessly, or engaging in unprotected sex. The symptoms of borderline personality disorder might also make their moods highly reactive, causing them to experience bursts of anger, despair, or panic.
