Personality Disorders We Treat
Personality disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by enduring patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that deviate significantly from societal expectations. Thus, these disorders can cause distress and impair functioning in various areas of life, including relationships, work, and self-image.
Treatment Approaches for Personality Disorders
Antisocial Personality Disorder
Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a disregard for the rights of others, a lack of empathy, and a pattern of manipulative and exploitative behavior. Individuals with this disorder may engage in criminal activities, show little remorse for their actions, and have difficulty forming meaningful relationships.
Borderline Personality Disorder
Borderline personality disorder is marked by intense emotional instability, impulsivity, and difficulties in maintaining stable relationships. Hence, people with this disorder often experience extreme fear of abandonment, engage in self-destructive behaviors such as self-harm or substance abuse, and have a distorted sense of self.
Schizoid Personality Disorder
Schizoid personality disorder is characterized by a detachment from social relationships and a limited range of emotional expression. Hence, individuals with this disorder tend to prefer solitary activities, feel little desire for close connections with others and may appear emotionally cold or indifferent.
Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder
Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder is characterized by perfectionism, rigidity, and an excessive need for control. People with this disorder are often overly preoccupied with rules, orderliness, and details. They may struggle with flexibility and have difficulty delegating tasks to others.
Paranoid Personality Disorder
Paranoid personality disorder involves a pervasive distrust and suspicion of others. Individuals with this disorder often interpret others’ actions as hostile or demeaning without sufficient evidence. They may be overly guarded in their interactions, have difficulty forming close relationships, and may hold persistent grudges.
Our team of experienced professionals provides complete and individualized treatment for people with personality disorders through evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. We aim to help patients develop healthier coping mechanisms, improve interpersonal skills, and enhance their overall well-being.
At Milton Recovery Centers, we offer a range of effective treatment approaches to address personality disorders. However, our main goal is to help people develop healthier coping mechanisms, improve interpersonal skills, and enhance their overall well-being.
We incorporate evidence-based therapies into our treatment plans, including:
Medication Management
Stabilization and medication management are critical components in the treatment of personality disorders, helping individuals achieve emotional and psychological balance.
Stabilization involves creating a safe and structured environment to reduce acute symptoms such as mood swings, impulsivity, or emotional dysregulation.
During this phase, the individual may receive crisis intervention, therapy, and support to regain control over their thoughts and behaviors.
Medication management is often used to treat co-occurring symptoms like depression, anxiety, or mood instability. Although there is no specific medication to “cure” personality disorders, medications such as mood stabilizers, antidepressants, or antipsychotics can be prescribed to alleviate severe symptoms, allowing therapy to be more effective.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to the symptoms of personality disorders. As expected, it helps individuals develop more adaptive ways of thinking, managing emotions, and relating to others.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT is particularly helpful for individuals with borderline personality disorder. It combines elements of CBT with mindfulness techniques to help individuals regulate their emotions, cope with distressing situations, and improve interpersonal effectiveness.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy provides a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore their personal challenges and work on specific issues related to their personality disorder. Our therapists utilize various therapeutic modalities tailored to each individual’s needs.
Group Therapy
Group therapy allows individuals to connect with others who share similar experiences. Therefore, it provides a supportive space for discussion, sharing insights, and practicing new skills in a group setting.
Holistic Therapies
In addition to traditional therapies, we offer holistic approaches to treating personality disorders. These may include mindfulness meditation, yoga, art therapy, and other experiential therapies to promote self-reflection and self-expression.
