Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) Treatment Program for Teens

Borderline Personality Disorder is a complex and deeply emotional condition that can cause intense mood swings, impulsivity, unstable relationships, and an ongoing fear of abandonment. For teens, these symptoms may lead to self-harm, conflict at home or school, and a profound sense of emptiness or confusion about identity.

At Silver State, our residential program offers a stable and structured environment where teens with BPD can safely begin the process of healing. We provide around-the-clock support, intensive therapy, and daily routines that help reduce crisis behavior and foster long-term growth.

Each treatment plan is individualized to address the emotional, social, and behavioral challenges specific to BPD. Our program helps teens learn emotional regulation, build a positive self-image, and develop healthy coping strategies that last beyond their time in treatment.

What is Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

What is Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)?

BPD is a mental health disorder marked by difficulty regulating emotions, maintaining relationships, and managing self-identity. While it’s often diagnosed in early adulthood, symptoms frequently begin during adolescence and can be especially intense due to ongoing developmental changes.

Teens with BPD may experience frequent mood swings, black-and-white thinking, and extreme sensitivity to perceived rejection or abandonment. They often struggle with impulsive behavior, self-harm, or suicidal ideation as a way to cope with emotional pain.

At Silver State, we take a trauma-informed and empathetic approach to treatment. Our goal is to help teens understand the root of their symptoms and begin developing a sense of self that’s stable, confident, and resilient.

Signs and Symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) in Teens

Borderline Personality Disorder can be difficult to diagnose in teens, especially because some symptoms may overlap with other conditions. However, when these patterns are persistent and disruptive, they should not be ignored.

Common symptoms include:

  • Intense, unstable relationships

  • Fear of abandonment and extreme efforts to avoid it

  • Identity confusion or shifting self-image

  • Mood instability and emotional outbursts

  • Impulsive or risky behavior

  • Chronic feelings of emptiness

  • Self-harm or suicidal threats

  • Difficulty trusting others

If your teen is struggling with these symptoms, residential treatment can offer the consistent structure, therapy, and support needed for meaningful progress.

Why Individualized Plans Matter for Teens with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

No two teens with BPD are alike. Their struggles often stem from a unique mix of trauma, family dynamics, neurological factors, and emotional sensitivities. That’s why we start with a detailed assessment and build a fully personalized treatment plan for each teen.

Our residential program includes DBT, CBT, trauma-informed care, psychiatric support, and structured daily routines to help teens stabilize their emotions and improve functioning. We also emphasize life skills, self-esteem, and boundary-setting.

Family involvement is critical. We offer regular family therapy sessions and parent education to support the healing process at home and prepare families for the transition after treatment.

The Silver State Adolescent Approach

Teens with Borderline Personality Disorder need more than talk therapy—they need consistency, connection, and a comprehensive system of support. At Silver State, our residential program is designed to offer just that.

We use evidence-based practices, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to help teens tolerate distress, regulate emotions, and develop healthier interpersonal patterns. Our team creates a safe, structured environment that supports growth while also challenging negative thought and behavior patterns.

Teens learn practical coping skills they can use in real time. Whether it’s managing a triggering interaction, processing feelings of abandonment, or navigating identity struggles, our program equips teens with tools they’ll use for life.

We believe that healing from BPD is possible—with time, patience, and the right treatment team. At Silver State, we walk with each teen and their family through every step of the journey toward stability, connection, and emotional empowerment.
