Comprehensive Treatment for Personality Disorders in Texas | Driftwood Recovery

Our personality influences every aspect of day-to-day life. Individuals diagnosed with personality disorders may experience significant challenges connecting with others and participating in treatment for substance use disorder (SUD). Driftwood Recovery provides treatment for personality disorders and co-occurring substance use. Our dedicated team of addiction recovery and mental health experts guide clients through the process of identifying and addressing maladaptive thoughts or behaviors. 

Understanding Personality Disorders and Their Impact

Personality disorders are mental health conditions that cause people to think or behave in ways outside social norms. According to MedlinePlus, “The thoughts and behaviors are unhealthy and inflexible.” Some of these aspects of a person’s personality may “cause serious problems with relationships, work, and social activities.” We educate individuals and families on the impact of personality disorders. Clients often feel more in control of their recovery if they better understand their condition. 

Signs and Symptoms of Personality Disorders

There are ten different personality disorders, each with unique signs and symptoms. Some common warning signs of a potential personality disorder include: 

• Frequent social conflict 
• Trouble establishing or maintaining close relationships 
• Trust issues 
• Impulsivity
• Risk-taking or self-harming behaviors 
• Social withdrawal or self-isolation
• Rigid thinking and difficulty compromising 
• A need to be in control of every situation 

Personality disorders affect emotions and relationships by causing people to think and behave in socially unacceptable ways. We use comprehensive assessments and screening tools to ensure clients receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan to help them develop healthy social skills. 

Types of Personality Disorders

There are three types of personality disorders, called clusters, and they include: 

• Cluster A: Unusual thoughts or behaviors 
• Cluster B: Dramatic and frequently changing thoughts or behaviors 
• Cluster C: Anxious or fearful thoughts and behaviors

Each type of personality disorder requires different treatment. 

Cluster A Disorders

Some personality disorders significantly interfere with social engagement. Cluster A disorders include the following: 

• Schizoid personality disorder: A condition characterized by a lack of interest in building social connections
• Schizotypal personality disorder: Individuals with the disorder have eccentric thoughts and beliefs with an increased risk of experiencing psychosis
• Paranoid personality disorder (PPD): A condition that causes people to distrust others and exhibit persistent paranoid behaviors 

Cluster A disorders can cause people to purposely avoid social situations and relationships. Treatment programs help clients identify maladaptive behaviors and show people the value of social support in healing. 

Cluster B Disorders

Individuals with a distorted sense of self may have a higher risk of being diagnosed with cluster B disorders, including: 

• Borderline personality disorder (BPD): A condition characterized by black-and-white thinking and a loss of emotional regulation 
• Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD): People with this condition have an excessive need for attention and a grandiose sense of self-importance
• Antisocial personality disorder (APD): People with this condition manipulate others or treat them with cruelty for self-gain without empathy
• Histrionic personality disorder (HPD): Individuals with this condition display persistent attention-seeking and dramatic behaviors 

Cluster B disorders often impact family dynamics and close relationships. Treatment programs use family therapy and other therapeutic tools to help clients develop healthier relationships and a more objective sense of self. 

Cluster C Disorders

Cluster C disorders include: 

• Dependant personality disorder (DPD): A condition characterized by an excessive need to be taken care of by others 
• Avoidant personality disorder (AVPD): People with the disorder have very low self-esteem and may avoid social connections to reduce the risk of experiencing abandonment or rejection 
• Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (COPD): A condition that causes people to become preoccupied with control, perfectionism, and organization

Cluster C disorders may limit a person’s ability to gain independence and create healthy social connections. Treatment programs provide clients with the tools to manage stress and address symptoms, allowing them to heal and grow. 

Therapeutic Approaches for Personality Disorders at Driftwood Recovery

Some of the therapeutic approaches used to treat co-occurring personality disorders at Driftwood Recovery include: 

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
• Psychodynamic psychotherapy 
• Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT)
• Group therapy 
• Motivational interviewing (MI)

Individual and group therapy sessions are tailored to the specific needs of clients and their circumstances. 

Comprehensive Mental Health and Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Addressing substance use and mental health comorbidities involves integrated care and personalized treatment plans. We offer a whole-person approach to recovery, ensuring clients have access to luxury amenities to encourage the development of healthy routines. Clients learn to incorporate regular exercise, balanced meals, and a healthy sleep schedule into their daily lives. Recovering from the mental and physical toll of dual diagnosis takes time. We prepare clients to maintain long-term abstinence and positive mental health by using evidence-based and alternative holistic therapies to nurture and empower individuals in recovery. 

Medication Management and Psychiatric Support

Some personality disorders require prescription medication to help clients stabilize and manage their condition. We offer medication management combined with psychiatric support. Our clinicians use comprehensive assessments to determine if clients may benefit from prescription medications during treatment. We also refer clients to outside providers if they require medication during continuing care. 

Holistic Healing and Personalized Care at Driftwood Recovery

A holistic approach to healing reduces stress and promotes overall wellness. We use a variety of holistic therapies, including acupuncture and yoga, to help clients manage stress during rehabilitation. The experts at Driftwood Recovery understand the importance of creating a space where people feel comfortable, heard, and valued during the treatment process. Our personalized care plans and community support create an inclusive environment where people with personality disorders feel comfortable getting the help they need to heal. 

Trauma-Informed Care and Emotional Regulation

We address childhood trauma, dissociation, paranoia, and other aspects of personality disorders with trauma-informed care. Our support services allow clients to learn emotion regulation in a safe and controlled space. Trauma-informed care reduces the risk of retraumatization during treatment and aftercare. 

Levels of Care for Personality Disorders

At Driftwood Recovery, we offer multiple rehabilitation programs, providing a smooth transition between each level of care. Our initial intake assessment determines which level of care a client may benefit from most. Often, people go through a continuum of care before achieving independent sobriety. Every level of care offers comprehensive treatment for co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders. 

Residential Treatment Program in Texas

Our residential treatment provides luxury accommodations and support services to individuals requiring higher care. Clients enjoy private living quarters, gourmet meals, and a range of leisure activities while engaging in comprehensive addiction recovery and mental health treatment. Most clients who participate in residential treatment step down to our partial hospitalization program (PHP) or outpatient services. 

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our intensive outpatient program (IOP) and partial hospitalization program (PHP) offer clients a more flexible alternative to residential care. Clients attend weekly treatment sessions throughout the day and return home each night, allowing them to manage family and work responsibilities while engaging in rehabilitation. The personalized care plans enable clients to receive intensive care while maintaining greater independence. 

Community Integration Program (CIP) and Aftercare Support

Our community integration program (CIP) prepares clients for long-term recovery by giving them a structured space to participate in aftercare. The support of peers and additional accountability help clients remain sober and manage co-occurring mental health issues. We also offer alumni support services to individuals in CIP and continuing care.
