Dual Diagnosis Treatment Center in Austin, TX
Bipolar disorder is an ongoing battle with extreme highs (mania) and crushing lows (depression). These unpredictable mood swings can make everyday life exhausting, especially when paired with substance use or other co-occurring mental health conditions.
Many individuals turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with mood instability, trying to soften the highs or escape the lows. While that may provide temporary relief, it often makes symptoms worse, creating a dangerous cycle where both addiction and mental health issues feed into each other. That’s why a dual diagnosis approach—treating bipolar disorder alongside substance use disorder—is crucial for real, lasting recovery.
It’s easy to convince yourself that you “have it under control,” but untreated bipolar disorder can wreak havoc on every area of life. If any of these sound familiar, residential treatment might be the right next step:
If you’re stuck in this cycle, you don’t have to figure it out alone. The proper support can make all the difference. Contact The Last Resort today to get started.
A quick doctor’s visit and a prescription often aren’t enough to manage bipolar disorder—especially if substance use or past trauma are also in the mix. Residential treatment provides a structured, supportive environment where you can focus on your recovery without the distractions and triggers of daily life.
At The Last Resort Recovery Center, we create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your unique challenges. That means combining science-backed therapies, holistic healing approaches, and real-life skills training to help you manage symptoms long after you leave our program.
Here’s what makes our program different:
Living with bipolar disorder and substance use issues often feels unpredictable, but structure helps create stability. Our residential program provides a daily routine with therapy, wellness activities, and time to reflect and rebuild. When you know what to expect each day, regulating emotions and focusing on healing becomes more effortless.
Most men with bipolar disorder struggle with more than just mood swings—they’re also dealing with co-occurring conditions like anxiety, PTSD, or substance use disorders.

Our clinical team provides:
