Borderline Personality Disorder is a chronic mental health condition. With our treatment options, Icarus Wellness and Recovery can help you learn effective coping strategies and achieve better emotional and mental health. This therapeutic approach helps people with BPD improve their overall well-being and enjoy lasting healing.

Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

Borderline Personality Disorder is a diagnosable mental health condition. People who live with this mental health disorder often have intense emotional responses, unstable relationships, and distortions in self-identity or self-image.

They often struggle with frequent mood swings, impulsive behaviors, or a fear of abandonment, all of which interfere with daily functioning. Causes of BPD vary. The American Psychological Association cites genetic factors and childhood trauma as two likely underlying factors.

Without fostering healing in a supportive environment, BPD can get worse. Untreated, those affected are at a higher risk of self-harm, substance abuse or other addiction issues, and developing additional mental health issues.

Common Symptoms of BPD

Borderline Personality Disorder presents differently in individuals, but some symptoms are more common than others. Among these are the following:

Problems with co-dependent or unstable relationships; they may cycle between idealization and devaluation
Chronic feelings of low self-esteem or emptiness
Sudden changes in goals and values
Impulsive, risky behaviors; these include having unprotected sex, binge eating, or driving recklessly or while impaired
Confusion or lack of clarity about self-identity
Emotional extremes with difficulty calming down afterward
Angry or irrational outbursts, even over minor nuisances, are disproportionate to the event

Icarus Idaho understands that Borderline Personality Disorder is more than just moodiness. The frequent mood swings disrupt trust, decision-making, and stability in relationships and daily life. We also know that structured treatment is the pathway to lasting recovery – one that we are happy to provide.

Evidence-Based Therapies for a More Fulfilling Life

Our clinical professionals will provide borderline personality disorder treatment (BPD) with a holistic approach. We care about both your physical and mental well-being and know that a treatment plan must empower each client affected by BPD to gain the coping skills to manage their daily functioning.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a foundational therapy for people with Borderline Personality Disorder. It helps individuals self-identify negative, distorted thoughts and change them. With BPD, this often means identifying all-or-nothing thinking, critical thoughts that lead to low self-esteem, and poor stress responses.

The licensed therapists at Icarus Idaho use trauma-informed CBT techniques to help clients overcome anxiety and live a fulfilling life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

A type of CBT developed by psychologist Dr. Marsha Linehan in 1991, DBT is widely accepted as the “gold standard” treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder. This treatment helps people affected by BPD in learning to be mindful of their emotions and increase distress tolerance and emotional regulation.

It reduces thoughts of self-harm and builds effective communication skills. It supports coping tools like boundary setting and effective communication.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is most famously a therapeutic tool for treating trauma. It’s used in Borderline Personality Disorder treatment when one or more traumatic events have contributed to the BPD or dual diagnosis mental health disorders the client struggles with. EMDR therapy reduces the emotional impact of past events, letting them open up to healing in the present.

Therapy Sessions in Various Settings Are Part of a Well-rounded Treatment Plan

Providing therapy in different settings ensures that clients receive well-rounded support to help them develop confidence in their ability to communicate and restore self-image.

The multi-setting approach we take at Icarus Wellness and Recovery helps build coping skills privately, then apply them in family and small group settings.

Individual Therapy

Working one-on-one with a licensed therapist provides clients with a focused space to start their personal growth journeys. It’s a place to explore behaviors and emotions, receive customized support, and develop tools for coping with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) symptoms as soon as they appear.

Family Therapy

Borderline Personality Disorder can be disruptive to entire family structures. Therapy helps family members better understand the condition, communicate openly, and support a healthier, more stable home environment.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is an ideal place for clients to continue refining coping tools. Working with peers who are also in treatment is helpful in reducing feelings of isolation and building a support network.

This “practice” helps clients apply their new skills in a real-world setting and helps them enjoy more stable relationships after they leave the treatment program.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment Programs

Clients living with Borderline Personality Disorder often face additional mental health concerns. Some of the most frequent co-occurring conditions we treat simultaneously with BPD are:

Substance Use Disorders: Drug and alcohol abuse happen when someone has tried to silence their BPD symptoms by reaching for substances. The more often they do so, the higher the risk they’ll develop substance problems.
Anxiety: BPD and anxiety often occur together. The client may express feelings of chronic worry, panic attacks, or social anxiety. The emotional dysregulation of combined BPD and anxiety makes it challenging for these clients to self-soothe.
PTSD: BPD often intertwines with trauma, impacting a client’s ability to lead a fulfilling life. The combined emotional outbursts of BPD and the flashbacks and hypervigilance of PTSD can worsen both dual diagnosis disorders.

When we identify co-occurring conditions, we treat both conditions following evidence-based practices. Our goal is always safety and long-term healing of the symptoms.

Comprehensive Care Including Outpatient or Residential Treatment Programs

Every client has unique needs. That’s why Icarus Idaho offers inpatient care and two outpatient levels of care – our intensive outpatient program or a partial hospitalization program. Some clients need the intensive support of inpatient care, such as people who have engaged in self-harm.

But other clients prefer treatment in a more flexible outpatient setting, which allows them to attend programs while also working or attending school.

Both help address BPD and other personality disorders and is based on the person’s behaviors. If you’re unsure which would be a better fit for you, our admissions team can set up an assessment to help you decide.

Medication Management

There’s no magic pill to treat BPD. But some clients benefit from prescription medications to manage their symptoms, including mood swings, depression, or anxiety.

Our licensed professionals provide careful medication management following FDA guidelines as part of a treatment plan. When combined with therapy, these can be very effective in helping to restore a better quality of life.

Personalized Support for Interpersonal Effectiveness and Coping Strategies

One of BPD’s most significant challenges is maintaining healthy relationships. The emotional outbursts can turn minor disagreements into major problems, making matters worse.

Our treatment plans focus on building communication in relationships, interpersonal skills, and emotional resilience. With these basics, clients learn to set boundaries and manage conflict without reverting to negative behaviors.
