Understanding Bipolar Disorder and Addiction
What Is Bipolar Disorder? Recognizing the Struggle
Bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic-depressive illness, is a mood disorder characterized by extreme swings between emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). For those experiencing bipolar disorder, life can be marked by persistent periods of heightened energy, impulsivity, or euphoria followed by debilitating feelings of hopelessness, fatigue, and despair. These unpredictable shifts disrupt relationships, work, and daily functioning, leaving individuals searching for ways to regain their sense of control.
There are two primary types of bipolar disorder:
- Bipolar I Disorder: Defined by manic episodes that last at least seven days or are severe enough to warrant hospitalization, often accompanied by depressive episodes.
- Bipolar II Disorder: Characterized by milder episodes of hypomania coupled with extended periods of depression.
Living with bipolar disorder is already challenging, but when addiction enters the picture, the risks and intensity of symptoms increase exponentially. Self-medication is common among individuals with untreated or inadequately addressed bipolar disorder, with substances used to mask pain, calm racing thoughts, or magnify fleeting periods of mania. Unfortunately, this approach often cycles deeper into emotional instability and dependency, compounding the struggle and making professional treatment essential.

what to look out for
Risk Factors for Bipolar Disorder
While the exact cause of bipolar disorder isn’t fully understood, research suggests a combination of biological, genetic, and environmental factors may contribute to its onset. It is essential to understand these risk factors, as they can inform awareness and decision-making for individuals seeking help.
Bipolar disorder often runs in families, with genetic factors increasing the likelihood of experiencing symptoms.
Neurotransmitter abnormalities in the brain may lead to erratic mood regulation.
Significant life stressors, such as the loss of a loved one, financial troubles, or abuse, can trigger or exacerbate symptoms.
Drug and alcohol use can intensify mood swings, worsen symptoms, and hasten the development of bipolar disorder in vulnerable individuals.
Although these factors may increase the risk, no one is truly immune. Bipolar disorder affects people from every walk of life, and its challenges are best addressed with personalized care, compassion, and support.
Signs and Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder
Recognizing bipolar disorder can be difficult due to the broad spectrum of symptoms and the varying ways it presents in individuals. If you or someone you love is struggling, identifying these key signs may serve as a helpful guide:
- Unusually elevated mood
- Increased energy and activity levels
- Reduced need for sleep
- Excessive talkativeness or rapid speech
- Heightened impulsivity, including risky behaviors
- Feelings of grandiosity or invincibility
- Difficulty concentrating
- Persistent sadness or low mood
- Fatigue or lack of energy
- Loss of interest in enjoyable activities
- Sleep disturbances (insomnia or oversleeping)
- Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or hopelessness
- Difficulty making decisions or concentrating
- Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
At Liberty House Recovery, we understand the complexities of bipolar disorder, especially when symptoms are compounded by addiction. Co-occurring disorders need specialized care, and we tailor our programs to ensure each individual’s mental and emotional well-being is fully considered in their treatment.
Understanding the Need for Bipolar Disorder Rehab
Deciding to seek treatment for bipolar disorder can be one of the most courageous steps an individual or family can take. But how do you know when it’s time to ask for help? While everyone’s journey is different, the following signs may indicate that professional intervention is necessary:
- Symptoms are severely affecting daily life, relationships, or job performance.
- Episodes of mania or depression have been escalating in frequency or intensity.
- Self-medication with drugs or alcohol is worsening the condition.
- Substance use has developed into dependency or addiction.
- Thoughts of self-harm or suicide are present.
- Previous treatment has been unsuccessful or inconsistent.

Our Approach to Treatment
Our Approach to Bipolar Disorder Treatment in Fenton, Michigan
At Liberty House Recovery Center, we offer a holistic, evidence-based approach to treating individuals living with bipolar disorder and co-occurring substance use disorders. Each program is built around compassion, clinical excellence, and the belief that every client deserves personalized care that addresses the full spectrum of their mental health and recovery needs. Here’s what you can expect:
The treatment journey begins with a detailed intake and diagnostic evaluation. This comprehensive assessment allows our clinical team to understand each client’s unique mental health history, the severity of bipolar symptoms, any co-occurring addiction issues, and other essential health factors. This foundational process guides the creation of an individualized treatment plan tailored to support lasting recovery and emotional stability.
Managing bipolar disorder requires careful, continuous oversight from experienced medical professionals. At Liberty House Recovery, clients have access to regular psychiatric evaluations and medication management as needed. Our clinical team works closely with clients to ensure their symptoms are monitored and stabilized, making necessary adjustments throughout treatment to support ongoing progress. When appropriate, we offer medication-assisted treatment to help manage co-occurring addiction safely and effectively.
Therapy is a core component of our treatment model, offering clients the tools to manage the intense emotional swings and thought patterns often associated with bipolar disorder. Our program integrates individual therapy, where clients work one-on-one with a licensed therapist, and group therapy sessions that foster connection and peer support. Treatment modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on reshaping negative thinking patterns, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which helps individuals build emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Each session is designed to help clients better understand their triggers and develop healthy coping strategies.
Many individuals living with bipolar disorder also struggle with substance abuse. Our team specializes in dual diagnosis treatment, addressing both conditions simultaneously to reduce the risk of relapse and promote a stronger, more sustainable recovery. This integrated approach ensures that no part of the individual’s mental health is overlooked and that all aspects of their well-being are considered in the treatment plan.
Healing from bipolar disorder goes beyond symptom management—it involves restoring balance in all aspects of life. Our program includes holistic therapies such as yoga, mindfulness training, meditation, and wellness activities designed to promote inner peace and physical resilience. These practices support emotional grounding and help clients develop healthy lifestyle habits that last long after treatment ends.
