 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These last 45 days have been some of the hardest and most healing times I’ve ever had arriving to lone star I was terrified ! Simply because getting treatment is a big deal I wasn’t sure of the company or community I would be throwing myself into but wow was it the best decision I’ve ever made. To begin the staff and nurses/psychiatrist were some of the most genuine people I’ve ever met it’s very rare you go to a mental health facility where the employees gentility care for the health of the clients and care deeply for their job. The employees themselves  have been hands down the best  part of this stay! They’ve allowed me to authentically express who I am while comforting me in ways that allowed me to be vulnerable with my faults which is such a big deal when it comes to healing! Secondly the facility itself is very nice and always clean and provided some of the best meals I’ve had thanks to the chef! The company’s leaders Jenifer and Brandon were the most open minded and helpful people ever they consistently listened to the clients and cared deeply about our input and ways the facility could be better! There was never a complaint of mine that went ignored which I am extremely grateful towards. If you’re having second thoughts on coming to lone star let me be the first to tell you JUST DO IT! This was by far the best treatment I’ve ever gotten and will hold this place very dearly to my heart ! Lone star became a home away from home and I will never forget the great hospitality and kindness lone star has provided me! They give you all the tools you need to be successful it’s just up to you to actually do the work! If I weren’t healed I’d happily do this treatment again but after just 1 stay I know I am ready to take on the world so to that I say thank you lonestar

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the team at Lonestar Mental Health. From the moment my son was admitted, I knew he was in a place where people genuinely cared about his well-being and recovery.

A special thank you goes to Bess. She has been absolutely amazing throughout this entire journey. She consistently kept me informed about everything that was happening with my son, including updates on his medications, treatment progress, and overall well-being. Her communication, compassion, and professionalism gave me tremendous peace of mind during a very difficult time.

The entire staff has been exceptional. They treated my son with kindness, respect, patience, and encouragement. They provided a variety of activities and therapeutic opportunities that helped him develop coping skills, build confidence, improve his mental health, and engage positively with others. It was wonderful to see him participating in activities that supported both his emotional growth and recovery.

The team worked diligently to help my son reach the next level in his treatment and recovery journey. Their dedication, support, and commitment to his success made all the difference. They truly went above and beyond to ensure he had the tools and resources needed to move forward.

As a parent, finding a facility that genuinely cares can be overwhelming, but I was so excited and grateful when I found Lonestar Mental Health. They exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend this program to any family looking for compassionate, professional, and effective mental health care for their loved one.

Thank you, Bess, and thank you to the entire staff for the incredible work you do every day. You have made a lasting impact on my son’s life and on our family. ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just left the facility. I had a great experience. Nursing staff was on point, i tried giving them hell and they just showed me nothing but love and support. Techs were all super cool and understanding, through every step of the way. Therapists were really good and it was super beneficial, and case manager was on point from start to finish. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place to go seeking professional help in a safe and homestyle environment. Chef was also amazing, great food everyday. Thank you (cussing was involved with my healing, and the occasional slur. They handled it very well. De escelation of high intensity situations were also on point, by all staff)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a relative who was admitted to this facility. I was very uncertain of how this was going to help her immediate mental episode. As soon as she entered, she was taken care of in such a personal and professional manner. They were  all very compassionate and respectful to her and her mental state. I am extremely grateful !

Common Bipolar l Symptoms

If you suspect you or someone you know well may need bipolar disorder support, look for the following signs that indicate the presence of bipolar I:

Common Bipolar II Symptoms

Bipolar disorder symptoms are different for people suffering from bipolar II – learn how to differentiate between the two:

Hypomania

While mania is not present in people with bipolar II, they will still feel weirdly happy and energetic.

Sleep Disturbances

You may not feel the need for sleep even after a few hours of rest – you feel elated and strong enough to move on with your day.

Psychosis

Psychotic episodes are less likely when it is bipolar II; however confused thinking and lack of motivation may manifest during an episode.

Depression

Major depression is common among bipolar individuals – depressive episodes characterized by sadness and hopelessness will manifest just as often as mood swings.

How to Treat Bipolar Disorder at Lonestar Mental Health?

After the initial evaluation, we will offer you several treatment options:

Group Counseling

Loneliness and isolation occur frequently when a person is struggling with bipolar - meet new friends during group therapy sessions and relate to others’ experiences.

Medication Treatment

Bipolar disorder medication is of paramount importance - antipsychotics and mood stabilizers prescribed by a doctor will bring balance into a patient’s life.

Social Rhythm Therapy

This type of therapy will let the patient adhere to regular routines and avoid disruptions in their everyday activities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

During bipolar disorder counseling, you will be introduced to vital coping skills and mechanisms that will help you get rid of inaccurate thought patterns and substitute them with positive affirmations to influence your behavior.

Benefits of Treatment at Lonestar Mental Health

Compassionate Counseling

Our team of therapists has more than twelve years of experience – we will listen to you with respect and without judgment as we are trying to figure out what treatment will suit you.

Peer Support

You will discover there are many people with the same or similar symptoms of bipolar disorder – there is no need to feel lonely since you are not alone in your fight.

Individual Approach

Instead of implementing the same techniques to all bipolar patients, we are committed to finding a unique approach that will work in every particular case for the benefit of the individual.

Collaboration With Family

Bipolar disorder help is often impossible without the involvement of family members who care for the patient in need – we will invite your relatives to join a counseling session if it is required.

Bipolar Disorder Treatment for a Better Future

Bipolar disorder management is necessary even when the patient believes they have this condition under their control. It is hard to predict whether additional health complications appear or not – besides, an untreated bipolar disorder often leads to sleep disturbances and self-destructive tendencies. Reduce the harmful impact of bipolar disorder on your mental wellness – reach out to Lonestar Mental Health today, and let us pick the right treatment plan for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main components of treatment for bipolar disorder?

Treatment for bipolar disorder is often lifelong and involves a combination of medication, psychotherapy (like CBT and family-focused therapy), and education about the disorder. Hospitalization may be necessary during severe episodes.

What types of medication are used to treat bipolar disorder?

Medication is crucial for stabilizing moods. It includes mood stabilizers (such as lithium), antipsychotics, and sometimes antidepressants (used cautiously to avoid triggering mania). Finding the right combination of medications often requires trial and error under a doctor’s supervision.

How important is psychotherapy in treating bipolar disorder?

Psychotherapy is a vital part of treatment and can help individuals identify and change unhealthy behaviors, manage stress, cope with upsetting situations, and improve relationships. Therapies like interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy focus on stabilizing daily routines, which is key for managing moods.

Are there lifestyle changes that can help manage bipolar disorder?

Yes, there are lifestyle changes that can help manage bipolar disorder. Sticking to a regular schedule for sleep, meals, and exercise is especially helpful. It’s also important to manage stress, avoid alcohol and drugs, track mood patterns, and seek support from groups or loved ones.

Is bipolar disorder curable?

Bipolar disorder is a chronic condition, and there is currently no cure. However, with a consistent and comprehensive treatment plan, individuals can effectively manage their mood swings and other symptoms to lead stable and fulfilling lives.
