Learn more about bipolar
Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder that can cause serious mood swings that are so severe that they can disrupt daily life and function. Many people experience differences in the severity of the symptoms of bipolar disorder. They might include lengthy periods where you are depressed for weeks or months followed by equally long periods where you are manic or hyperactive.
For other people, the mood swings are not as clearly defined. They might have mixed episodes where they experienced a rollercoaster of manic and then depressive and then manic and depressive mood swings over and over in an uncontrollable fashion throughout the day. Without proper treatment, the consequences can be severe. Multi Concept Recovery can help those struggling with bipolar disorder. Our outpatient treatment for bipolar disorder can help you or a loved one with symptom management.
Bipolar disorder is usually divided into Bipolar I and Bipolar II. The following criteria distinguish these disorders:
Also known as manic depression. Bipolar I is categorized by intense mood swings. A person suffering from Bipolar I will experience episodes of depression that may last weeks or months. Additionally, Bipolar I will cause manic episodes, which are episodes of increased activity, that may lead to substance use, impaired decisions and reckless behavior.
Like Bipolar I, this disorder is defined by feelings of “high” and “low.” However, unlike with Bipolar I, people suffering from Bipolar II experience the same depressive episodes with less severe manic episodes. Due to the lessened manic symptoms, these episodes are often called “hypomanic” episodes.

Bipolar disorder can affect much of a person’s life, and bipolar treatment may help with this. Severe mood swings can cause significant shifts in energy, disrupt your daily life, and even disrupt your sleeping patterns. People who suffer from bipolar disorder might not realize the level to which their mood swings or behavioral changes are disrupting their lives or the lives of people around them. For this reason, many people who suffer from bipolar disorder don’t get the treatment they need.
It’s actually more likely for people to seek treatment during a depressive stage rather than a manic phase. After a depressive episode ends, a person may often feel relieved by the onset of manic episodes. However, this is an aspect of the mania, as a person’s mood drastically improves. Because of this, doctors typically misdiagnose people with depression rather than bipolar disorder.

It might be time to consider bipolar outpatient treatment if your condition has caused disruptions to your daily life, resulted in serious problems like insomnia or suicidal thoughts, or even interfered with your personal relationships. If someone else close to you has pointed out the impact of your mood swings, even if you didn’t realize it, it might be time to consider treatment.
What we offer
Treatment for bipolar disorder in an intensive outpatient or partial hospitalization program is designed to provide structured, clinically robust care while allowing you to remain engaged in your daily life. Rather than requiring full-time residential treatment, these programs offer multiple therapeutic sessions each week—often several hours per day—focused on stabilizing mood, improving emotional regulation, and reducing the risk of manic or depressive episodes. You’ll participate in a combination of evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychoeducation, medication management, and skills-based groups.
These approaches help you better understand your mood patterns, recognize early warning signs, and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms in real time while continuing to maintain work, school, or family responsibilities. A core component of bipolar treatment at the IOP/PHP level is building consistency and stability in daily routines. This includes regulating sleep, maintaining a balanced diet, managing stress, and avoiding substances that can trigger mood episodes. With clinical guidance and support, you’ll also learn how to strengthen your support system and implement lifestyle changes that promote long-term mood stability and relapse prevention.
What Makes us Unique
Bipolar disorder treatment has to be personalized to your condition and your specific needs. For people who are able to function independently, outpatient treatment can give you the therapy, structure, and support you need to manage the symptoms of your condition while living at home.
The two main components of a successful bipolar disorder treatment program include psychotherapy and medication management.
These medications can help you manage your symptoms, but therapy helps you manage your daily life. Depending on what you need, your therapy might involve:
In order to treat bipolar disorder, your outpatient treatment program might include:
Family therapy is usually included in your treatment program to help you better communicate with your family, identify triggers and establish supportive and loving environments at home where symptoms can be identified and managed. Cognitive-behavioral therapy gives you coping mechanisms, while talk therapy can help you figure out different triggers.
Talk therapy can be individual or group-based. Depending on what you need, these therapy sessions can take place in person or even virtually. Many bipolar treatment centers offer different forms of talk therapy, both individualized and in group settings, to help you cultivate social skills, emotional support, and communication skills. This treatment also allows you to develop a strong network of people dealing with similar mental health issues. An individualized program might start with one-on-one talk therapy before moving toward group therapy sessions and family therapy sessions, depending on what you need.

Bipolar disorder treatment should start with designing something unique to your situation and your disorder. You might have an entirely different set of triggers compared to someone else with the same type of bipolar disorder, or you might suffer from bipolar disorder and anxiety or bipolar disorder and substance abuse. For this reason, you can expect a customized program to be developed before you dive into your given therapies. When you get treatment, you might decide on one of two options:
With intensive outpatient treatment for bipolar disorder, you can start your recovery from serious bipolar disorders, starting with treatment for any co-occurring addictions. Many people with severe bipolar disorder try to self-medicate, and if you have done the same, our intensive outpatient treatment for bipolar disorder will focus first on helping you overcome your addiction and manage your withdrawal symptoms before you move on to developing coping skills better to understand your mental health condition and any addictions. We offer treatment through individualized counseling as well as group therapy sessions so that you can develop a supportive network of people who have struggled with similar mental health conditions while also cultivating individualized coping mechanisms that help you deal with the more severe symptoms of your bipolar disorder.
With partial hospitalization treatment for bipolar disorder, you receive a higher level of structured, comprehensive care while still returning home each day. PHP typically involves full-day programming, multiple days per week, combining individual therapy, group therapy, and psychiatric support to help stabilize mood and manage both manic and depressive symptoms.
At this level of care, you’ll work closely with a psychiatrist or medical provider for ongoing medication management, alongside evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychoeducation, and skills-based groups. Holistic approaches like mindfulness, meditation, and stress regulation are often integrated to support emotional balance and nervous system stabilization.
PHP is designed to provide intensive support during periods of instability while helping you build the insight, coping strategies, and daily structure needed for long-term mood stability. The goal is to create a strong clinical foundation and prepare you to step down to a lower level of care with confidence and continuity in your recovery.
