Bipolar Disorder Treatment Center for Women & Girls

Seeking treatment for bipolar disorder is a courageous step. When you get bipolar disorder treatment, you can live a healthier and more satisfying life. Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center provides individualized bipolar disorder treatment for adult women and adolescent girls. When you’re ready, we’re here for you.  

The Benefits of Bipolar Disorder Treatment 

The benefits of bipolar disorder treatment include improvements in your physical, emotional, and social well-being. Effective individualized treatment at a bipolar disorder treatment center can help you regain control over your thoughts and actions, with the goal of empowering you to make sustained progress during and after your time in treatment. 

When you struggle with untreated bipolar disorder, you can begin to feel as though you are completely alone, and that no one could possibly understand what you’ve been experiencing. When you choose our bipolar disorder treatment center, you join a community that is dedicated to helping you achieve to your greatest potential. 

Our treatment professionals understand the unique ways that women and girls are impacted by bipolar disorder, and they will provide individualized services that address your specific needs. During bipolar disorder treatment, you will also learn to advocate on your own behalf, take ownership of your continued recovery, and access the support you need.  

Finding the Right Bipolar Disorder Treatment Center 

One of the most important factors in bipolar disorder treatment is determining which level of care is right for you. At Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center, we offer bipolar disorder treatment services at the residential and partial hospitalization levels. 

Our residential bipolar disorder treatment program is designed for adolescent girls ages 12-17 and adult women age 18 and older. This level is ideal for women and girls who need round-the-clock bipolar disorder treatment. While you receive bipolar disorder treatment at this level, you will have the opportunity to step away from the pressure and distractions of day-to-day life in order to focus your full attention on your health. 

Our partial hospitalization program, or PHP, provides bipolar disorder treatment services for adult women age 18 and older. At this level, you will take part in full days of bipolar disorder treatment. When programming is not in session, you can return home or stay in an on-campus residence. Adult women may step down to this level after completing residential bipolar disorder treatment, or they may enter directly at this level.  

A member of our team will be happy to discuss the benefits and features of both levels of bipolar disorder treatment. We can also help you determine which level of bipolar disorder treatment is the best fit for you. 

Therapies Used in Bipolar Disorder Treatment 

Every adult woman or adolescent girl who develops bipolar disorder is impacted in a unique way. And every woman and girl responds differently to bipolar disorder treatment. It’s important to find a bipolar disorder treatment center that can identify your needs and develop an individualized bipolar disorder treatment plan specifically for you. 

At Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center, you’ll complete thorough evaluations prior to receiving bipolar disorder treatment. The information that’s gathered during these evaluations will guide the members of your team as they develop your individualized bipolar disorder treatment plan.  

Depending on a variety of individual factors, your bipolar disorder treatment plan may include: 

  • Medication management services 
  • Individual, group, and family sessions 
  • Experiential therapies such as dance/movement and art 
  • Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) 
  • Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) 
  • 12-Step principles 
  • Motivational interviewing 
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) 

A member of your bipolar disorder treatment team will review each element of your plan with you, discuss how these activities will help you during and after your time at our bipolar disorder treatment center, and answer any questions that you may have.

Hi, My name is Angel. I was admitted to residential treatment at Timberline Knolls in 2016 to treat my depression. At that time I was unemployed, home alone, and labeled med resistant. Though I did not socialize much, I benefited because I was no longer alone.

I elected to go to the partial hospitalization program at TK thereafter. This was because I wanted to continue with the DBT principles, continue with yoga, and continue speaking with the chaplain. Choosing to stay with TK resulted in me regaining my voice. In PHP I started engaging socially with the TK community. I also started to unpack my relationship with my father, with my father and our family therapist; a process that I prepared for in residential. Residential treatment at Timberline Knolls and continuing with partial hospitalization ensured that I could keep building on my recovery, namely in my relationships with spirituality, with new people, and with myself.
