What is Borderline Personality Disorder?
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition characterized by patterns of instability in emotions, self-image issues, difficulty with interpersonal relationships, and impulsive behavior. Individuals with BPD often struggle with intense emotions, mood swings, deep fears of abandonment, a fluctuating self-identity, and difficulty regulating emotions. In severe cases, individuals may struggle with self-harm and suicidal behavior.
These challenges can lead to impulsive actions, negative self-image, unstable relationships, and self-destructive behaviors. In some cases, individuals also struggle with different types of anxiety, depression, and eating disorders, such as binge eating. Substance misuse/substance abuse and substance use disorder are also common among individuals with BPD.
BPD affects people from all walks of life and can manifest in a variety of ways, making it a highly individualized disorder. It’s also common for BPD to mimic other mental health conditions, so a professional evaluation is needed for a proper diagnosis.
It’s crucial to emphasize that BPD is not a choice; it’s a genuine and treatable condition that affects countless individuals worldwide. Cedar Hill aims to remove the stigma surrounding BPD so those affected can seek help without fear of judgment and access the support and treatment they need to lead fulfilling lives. Compassion and awareness are pivotal in helping those with BPD on their path to recovery and well-being.
How is Borderline Personality Disorder Diagnosed?
A licensed mental health professional will guide individuals through a clinical assessment process to evaluate the presence of BPD symptoms, past mental health conditions, past medical conditions, family medical history, and behavioral patterns.
Clients who have previously been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and clients with no formal diagnosis will undergo this full evaluation by a mental health provider upon admission to our treatment facilities to ensure proper diagnosis. BPD shares some features with other mental health conditions, such as bipolar disorder, depression, and other personality disorders. Therefore, our trained mental health professionals will carefully differentiate BPD from these conditions to ensure an accurate diagnosis and main treatment plan.
Our medical professionals are warm and compassionate, ensuring that clients feel safe and welcome to discuss their experience with borderline personality disorder openly and honestly. We understand it can be difficult to talk about mental health issues, and we always put the client’s comfort first. The information gathered is critical to ensuring our clinicians understand how best to support each individual and their unique needs.

How is Borderline Personality Disorder Treated?
Cedar Hill is dedicated to providing exceptional treatment options for borderline personality disorder. Our facilities combine high-quality treatment programs, expert clinicians, psychodynamic psychotherapy, good psychiatric management, systems training, and regular research to ensure we offer the best possible care.
Research suggests that the most effective way to treat BPD is with a combination of psychotherapy and medication. Our mental health professionals are highly trained in treating individuals with BPD and work closely with each client to develop an individualized treatment plan that meets their unique needs.
At Cedar Hill, we use evidence-based treatments such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT) to help our clients develop a better understanding of their disorder, learn how to manage their emotions through emotional predictability and create healthier relationships with themselves and others. In addition, we also provide regular assessments and psychiatrists on staff to ensure our clients receive the best possible care.
Treatment will begin with the evaluation at the time of admission to provide an individualized treatment plan for each individual’s unique needs and symptoms. While each treatment program may vary, clients who receive a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder can expect to participate in a range of our treatments, including:
Family Therapy
Medicated Assisted Treatment
Many clients struggling with borderline personality disorder can benefit from medication assistance to stabilize their mood and reduce symptoms as they work on their mental health. Psychiatric medications can treat specific symptoms that may hinder an individual’s ability to function properly, and can also treat symptoms of any co-occurring disorders. Clients will be closely monitored to ensure medication is effective, and medication regimens may change based on the progress of mental health disorders.
Who Is Affected by Borderline Personality Disorder?
Borderline personality disorder is a condition that can affect people from all walks of life, irrespective of age, gender, race, or socioeconomic background. BPD doesn’t discriminate, and its impact can be far-reaching without proper treatment.
While some individuals may have an increased risk of developing BPD, it’s essential to recognize that anyone can struggle with this disorder and its severe symptoms, and everyone deserves help. Cedar Hill treats every patient with the same dedication, support, and care.
We truly believe every individual has the potential to overcome the challenges posed by BPD and lead a fulfilling life.
Treatment Approach for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
Cedar Hill takes a holistic approach to borderline personality disorder treatment, working closely with each patient to address not only the symptoms of BPD but each individual as a whole.
Our programs are comprehensive and structured to treat borderline personality disorder, but also aim to improve other aspects of the client’s mental health as well.
Our providers will guide patients through a range of evidence-based treatments and therapies that will educate clients on their condition, and improve each person’s ability to manage their mood, relationships, self-destructive behavior, and ability to cope with life’s challenges.
In individual and group sessions, clients may engage in conversation about healthy diet, the importance of staying physically active, mindfulness, and life goals. We believe in combination with condition-focused treatment, educating clients on holistic wellness will improve their progress and build the foundation for a healthy life. Our psychotherapy treatment in combination with medication assistance and education ensures clients receive well-rounded and comprehensive care.
At Cedar Hill, we want each client to find hope under our care, and leave our treatment programs with a new excitement for life.
Treatment Programs for Borderline Personality Disorder
Cedar Hill provides a range of mental health treatment programs for individuals who are struggling with borderline personality disorder. Each can treat BPD effectively, and the program best suited for you will depend on the severity of your symptoms, prior treatments, and treatment goals. Upon admission, a clinical social worker or nurse practitioner will meet with clients to understand which program is best for them. We offer:
Our PHP is a highly structured and comprehensive day program for individuals with severe personality disorders, acute mental health symptoms, and difficulty with daily life due to their symptoms and condition. Our PHP provides the highest level of care and supervision and is best suited for those who need intensive care or are experiencing dangerous behaviors or self-harming behavior.
Our outpatient program is the least intensive program option, providing support and care a few days a week for ongoing mental health symptoms. Our outpatient program allows clients to maintain their daily responsibilities and personal lives while working toward recovery.
Aftercare Planning
Cedar Hill recognizes that even after treatment is completed, many clients can benefit from ongoing support and care. Mental health recovery is a lifelong journey, and we want each client who walks in our door to feel supported every step of the way.
Our team will work closely with each client to provide resources and support groups for mental health support outside of our facilities and connect them with healthcare providers that may be beneficial for aftercare where needed.
