Title: Any recommendations for residential treatment facilities? Post by: Paris56 on April 29, 2017, 08:13:12 PM Hello, I'm new here. I have a 28 yr old daughter with diagnoses of BPD traits, bipolar disorder and substance abuse. She tried in-patient, out patient and partial hospitalization last year before finally going to a residential treatment facility in Arizona. She was there for a month, but they really focused her therapy on the substance abuse with very little attention to the mood disorders.
She is married with a 1 yr old and a 3 yr old. Her husband is supportive but has started a new business and works some long, odd hours. Long story short; she's a mess again and is considering residential treatment. Insurance will likely be an issue since it is private insurance. But having said that no one wants to send her somewhere that won't focus on the mood issues. Does anyone out there have good experience with any of these places? Thanks for listening.

*welcome* But having said that no one wants to send her somewhere that won't focus on the mood issues. Dr Robert O. Friedel, had a sister, her name was Denise and while she was growing up through adulthood, she was never treated for BPD, they didn't know how to treat it back then. Dr Robert O. Friedel developed effective treatment for BPD, in his book BPD Demystified he says that they want to treat the depression first because it can lessen the BPD symptoms, it's easier to treat the disorder if depression is under control.
