Located on a serene and secluded campus in northern California that overlooks San Francisco Bay, Bayside Marin is a small, private, and highly personalized program for adult men and women, aged 18 and older, who are struggling with substance abuse, addiction, and co-occurring disorders such as depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and borderline personality disorder.
Addiction to alcohol or other drugs is a debilitating progressive disease that has the potential to wreak havoc on a person's physical, mental, emotional, and social wellbeing. Addiction is a complex chronic condition that is marked by the inability to resist the powerful urge to use mind-altering substances. Common signs and symptoms of addiction include developing tolerance (needing to use increasingly larger amounts of a substance in order to achieve the same result), prioritizing the acquisition and use of drugs over one's relationships, career prospects, academic progress, or other responsibilities, and experiencing painful withdrawal symptoms when attempting to stop using. Even after having experienced significant negative consequences as the result of their substance abuse, individuals who suffer from the disease of addiction are unable to stop their self-defeating behaviors. Addiction is associated with myriad negative effects and co-occurring disorders, including heart problems, organ damage, cognitive impairment, and depression. If left untreated, addiction can send a person into a downward spiral of shame, self-hatred, and hopelessness.

Bipolar Disorder Treatment Centers
What is the most successful approach to treating bipolar disorder?
Living with bipolar disorder can be challenging, and a number of therapies have been found effective in providing support to patients as they gain the skills to understand and manage the disorder. Family-focused therapy is often helpful for children and teens (the majority of cases develop before age 19); it aims to minimize mood cycling by improving family communication and reducing conflict. It also helps young people navigate the developmental challenges the disorder can create. Cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) and variants such as Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)help patients manage the thoughts and feelings that influence bipolar mood swings as well as develop specific behavioral strategies to counteract them.
What happens in therapy for bipolar disorder?
Because the patterns of mood switching and its triggers differ for each person and can change over time, mood tracking or monitoring becomes a basic way patients learn about the nature of their condition. One of the most common features of therapy is finding a workable method of mood monitoring, in which patients track their daily activities and rate their moods, then use the findings to adjust routines accordingly. Patients learn ways of handling the many stresses that arise in life so that they do not trigger mood swings.
What kinds of problems does therapy help with?
Like many other mental health disorders, BPD is heavily influenced by stress; therapy provides skills for coping with stressors of all kinds. Therapy is extremely important for helping individuals identify the situations that may trigger mood switching, so that mood swings can be prevented. Therapy may especially target recognition of the early stages of mood change so that they can be managed. In addition, therapy helps patients deal with the significant amount of turbulence the disorder can create in relationships and in work life.
What is the goal of therapy for bipolar disorder?
Therapy helps patients set up their lives to maintain stability so that their mood isn’t constantly threatened by daily events. Perhaps the first task of therapy is to educate people about the nature of the disorder. At the same time, a primary goal of therapy is to enhance adherence to drug treatment. Extended periods of mood stability can prompt patients to discontinue medication, triggering relapse, while the early phases of manic episodes can feel so energizing that patients stop medication, ushering in full-blown mania and the altered self-perception that can lead to destructive behaviors. Another major goal of therapy is to understand one’s mood patterns so as to minimize both the frequency and intensity of mood cycling.
