What Is Borderline Personality Disorder?

The Merck Manuals offer this definition of borderline personality disorder:

“Borderline personality disorder is a mental health condition that is characterized by a pervasive pattern of instability in relationships, self-image, moods, and behavior and hypersensitivity to possible rejection and abandonment.”

While some people with borderline personality disorder report the severity of their symptoms gradually decreases over time, mental health experts agree that BPD is unlikely to improve or enter full remission without professional treatment and support provided by skilled, experienced clinicians.

Our Supportive Treatment Environment

We create a compassionate, supportive environment specifically designed for clients with complex mental health disorders like BPD. With the help of your treatment peers, therapists, and counselors, you’ll learn to apply treatment skills to improve daily functioning and build lasting recovery.

Which Level of BPD Treatment Is Right for You?

Intensive Outpatient (IOP), Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Inpatient Residential Treatment: How to Decide?

The level of care you need depends on several factors. In collaboration with your Crownview treatment team, you’ll identify the following:

  1. The intensity of your symptoms.
  2. The frequency and duration of your symptoms.
  3. The level of disruption they cause in your daily life.

When BPD symptoms significantly disrupt daily life despite previous treatment attempts, residential care may provide the intensive support you need for stabilization and recovery.
