Adolescent Bipolar Disorder Treatment Program

If a teen in your life is struggling with periods of depression and periods of high energy, there may be a chance that they are experiencing bipolar disorder. This mental health condition is characterized by extreme mood swings that can make it difficult for teens to thrive. Honey Lake Clinic’s adolescent bipolar disorder treatment program is designed specifically for teenage girls who are struggling with this condition.  

The teens in our care live in a spacious residence that doesn’t feel like a clinical facility—it feels like a home. Our adolescent mental health treatment programs take place on a separate side of our lakeside resort from adult treatment and feature wellness activities, academic programming, spiritual care, and therapy tailored to meet the specific needs of every teen we serve. 

We’re here to partner with your family while your teen is on this journey. Call 888.428.0562 today to learn more about our residential teen bipolar disorder treatment program. 

Understanding Adolescent Bipolar Disorder 

Bipolar disorder is a challenging condition that affects both adults and teenagers. However, bipolar disorder in teens can often be more complex and difficult to diagnose, as it can present differently than in adults. It is important for parents and caregivers to understand the signs and symptoms of bipolar disorder in teens so they can seek help for their loved one. 

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that causes extreme shifts in mood, energy levels, and behavior. These shifts can last for weeks or months at a time and can greatly impact a teen’s daily life. Some of the common symptoms of bipolar disorder in teens include: 

• Extreme irritability or anger 
• Intense feelings of sadness or hopelessness 
• Difficulty sleeping or changes in sleep patterns 
• Impulsive behavior and poor decision making 
• Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed 
• High energy levels and racing thoughts during manic episodes 
• Loss of energy and motivation during depressive episodes 

While some of these behaviors and symptoms may seem like typical teenage behavior, if they’re holding your teen back from doing what they love, connecting with others, or succeeding in school, talking with a mental health professional can help determine if bipolar disorder is the underlying cause. 

Our Bipolar Disorder Treatment Program for Adolescent Girls 

Our lakeside resort is a space for healing and growth. Spending time in creation, swimming in the infinity pool attached to our teen residence, and riding horses on nature trails are just a few activities that teens can enjoy while in our care.  

Faith is a central component of our adolescent treatment programs, but patients don’t have to come to Honey Lake Clinic with everything figured out—this is a place where patients can grow in their faith and discover how God’s love is part of their healing journey. Through morning devotions, chapel services, worship encounters, and other spiritual care activities, our approach helps teens deepen their relationship with God. 

We treat bipolar disorder through personalized treatment plans that involve therapy sessions where teens learn coping skills, explore their emotions, and develop healthy routines. The girls in our care also receive academic support and attend therapy groups with peers who are going through similar struggles. Finally, family intensive retreats offer opportunities for parents and caregivers to participate in their teen’s healing process and learn how to support them once they return home.
