Hello Wadadli!
I do not have first hand experience with those programs but have researched them for my
daughter. From what I learned, they are both exceptional in treating BPD. Wellspring
also has a very good therapeutic boarding school - Arch Bridge. Their clinicians are
top notch and they use DBT along with other therapies. I believe it is a rural setting where
the residents also care for animals. They have a facebook page where you can get additional
information. I believe this is a longer term program - 6 plus months.
McClean has an acute program and a longer term program. You can call them for specifics, they are
very helpful and leaders in treating BPD. Have you looked into Silver Hill in CT? They have a
28 day intensive DBT residential program that is also well respected. Their website details the program
Best of luck to you and your family
