Living with bipolar disorder can feel like an emotional rollercoaster — intense highs followed by crashing lows. It can disrupt relationships, impair judgment, and make life feel chaotic and unpredictable. But with the right support, stability is possible. At Amity Palm Beach, we provide evidence-based, outpatient treatment for bipolar disorder — especially when it co-occurs with substance use or other mental health conditions.
We help individuals find balance, reduce relapse risk, and build tools for long-term recovery, one steady step at a time.
What Is Bipolar Disorder?
Bipolar disorder is a complex mood disorder marked by cycles of depression and mania or hypomania. These shifts can be rapid or gradual, short-lived or long-lasting. Without treatment, bipolar symptoms can interfere with every part of life — from relationships and careers to sleep, safety, and sobriety.
Common signs of bipolar disorder include:
Episodes of depression: sadness, fatigue, hopelessness, disinterest in activities
Periods of mania: inflated self-esteem, racing thoughts, impulsive behavior, risky decisions
Hypomania: elevated energy or irritability without full-blown mania
Sleep disturbances, mood instability, and irritability
Difficulty managing relationships or responsibilities
Increased risk of substance use to manage highs or lows
Many people with bipolar disorder turn to alcohol, stimulants, or sedatives to self-medicate — which often worsens mood instability over time.
Understanding Dual Diagnosis: Bipolar and Substance Use
Bipolar disorder and addiction frequently overlap. Mood swings can lead to impulsive decisions or attempts to self-soothe with substances. Substance use, in turn, can trigger or exacerbate episodes of mania or depression.
At Amity Palm Beach, we specialize in dual diagnosis treatment — addressing bipolar disorder and substance use together. Our integrated approach helps reduce emotional volatility, minimize relapse, and empower individuals to manage both their mood and their recovery with clarity and consistency.
