With a team of leading professionals in mental health, our center is a place of support, healing, and transformation, helping you navigate the complexities of bipolar disorder with personalized attention and cutting-edge therapeutic approaches.

Bipolar disorder encompasses several types, each with distinct characteristics:

• Bipolar I Disorder: Characterized by manic episodes lasting at least seven days or requiring hospitalization. Episodes of depression also occur, usually lasting at least two weeks.
• Bipolar II Disorder: Marked by a pattern of depressive and hypomanic episodes, which are less severe than the full manic episodes seen in Bipolar I.
• Cyclothymic Disorder: A milder form of bipolar disorder where individuals experience periods of hypomanic and depressive symptoms that last for at least two years in adults.
• Rapid-Cycling Bipolar Disorder: Involves four or more episodes of mania, hypomania, or depression within a year. Rapid cycling can add an additional layer of complexity, making treatment particularly challenging.

Our team at The Meadowglade understands that each person’s experience with bipolar disorder is unique. With comprehensive assessments and individualized treatment plans, we provide the tools and support needed to manage bipolar disorder effectively.

As one of the premier bipolar treatment centers in California, The Meadowglade offers a range of treatment options, each designed to meet clients where they are in their journey. Each of our levels of care was thoughtfully designed to offer the level of care necessary to support long-term recovery from bipolar disorder, with skilled professionals guiding each client’s journey.

Residential Treatment

Our Residential Treatment program provides a structured, supportive environment where clients can focus exclusively on their recovery. With access to 24/7 clinical care, clients benefit from tailored therapies and consistent guidance from our experienced team. This immersive approach allows individuals to work through the complexities of bipolar disorder in a peaceful and controlled setting, making significant strides toward stability.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our Partial Hospitalization Program is an ideal choice for those who require intensive support but are ready for more flexibility than residential care. This program offers comprehensive day treatment, allowing clients to engage in structured therapy sessions and group work while having the option to return home or stay in partnered housing in the evenings. PHP combines the rigor of residential treatment with increased independence, helping clients transition smoothly to everyday life.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

The Intensive Outpatient Program at The Meadowglade provides a balanced blend of therapy and autonomy. Ideal for individuals who have progressed in their recovery, our IOP is a flexible treatment option that supports clients in managing bipolar disorder within the context of daily life. With sessions scheduled to accommodate personal and professional responsibilities, IOP empowers clients to maintain stability and independence while receiving essential therapeutic support.

Outpatient Treatment

Our Outpatient Treatment program is designed for those who have achieved a level of stability in their recovery but still seek regular therapeutic support. This level of care provides clients with ongoing access to individual counseling, group therapy, and medication management while enabling them to fully participate in their personal and professional lives. Outpatient treatment offers the necessary support to sustain progress and prevent relapse over the long term.

Aftercare and Continued Support

The Meadowglade is committed to providing lasting support even after formal treatment concludes. Our Aftercare program includes regular check-ins, support groups, and access to alumni services that foster a sense of community and connection. This continued support ensures that clients have the resources, guidance, and accountability they need to maintain their progress and live a balanced, fulfilling life.

Left untreated, bipolar disorder can impact nearly every aspect of an individual’s life. The condition is associated with a heightened risk of:

• Substance Abuse: Many individuals turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with their symptoms, which can lead to addiction.
• Self-Harm and Suicidal Ideation: The extreme lows of bipolar disorder can sometimes result in self-harming behaviors or thoughts of suicide.
• Legal and Financial Issues: Impulsive behavior during manic episodes may lead to financial losses or legal challenges.

By seeking treatment at a specialized center like The Meadowglade, individuals can reduce these risks and learn strategies to manage their symptoms effectively.

The Meadowglade provides a wide array of therapeutic options, all designed to address the unique challenges of bipolar disorder:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): A common therapeutic approach that helps clients understand the thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their symptoms.
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): This form of therapy is particularly effective for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, which can be crucial for individuals with bipolar disorder.
• Medication Management: Medications such as mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, and antidepressants may be part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Our medical team carefully monitors each client’s progress to ensure optimal outcomes.
• Art and Expressive Therapies: Creative therapies provide an alternative outlet for clients to process and express their emotions.
• Mindfulness and Meditation: Teaching clients techniques to stay grounded can help reduce stress and foster emotional resilience.

Our expert team tailors each treatment approach to suit the individual’s needs, promoting sustainable healing and providing a path toward emotional stability.
