Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) Treatment Center in Lantana, Florida
Olympic Behavioral Health's outpatient borderline personality disorder treatment center works from 3618 Lantana Road in Lantana, Florida, 12 miles south of West Palm Beach, and serves Palm Beach County.
Borderline personality disorder is emotional dysregulation, impulsivity and unstable relationships. Dialectical behavior therapy was developed for borderline personality disorder specifically, and DBT skills training is what this program is built around.
Our JCAHO-accredited, DCF-licensed specialized DBT programming treats adults aged 18 to 65 at PHP, IOP and OP. A BPD therapist and a psychiatric prescriber work the same plan from admission to discharge, and the diagnosis is treated here rather than referred elsewhere.

Borderline Personality Disorder
What Does Borderline Personality Disorder Treatment Involve?
Borderline personality disorder counseling at Olympic Behavioral Health combines structured DBT skills work, weekly individual therapy and psychiatric medication management. Treatment runs on an outpatient basis across the partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and outpatient levels of care.
Borderline personality disorder treatment at the partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient levels averages 30 to 45 days, and clients keep phone access and their daily freedoms throughout.
Borderline personality disorder responds to treatment. Zanarini and colleagues' 10-year follow-up of the McLean Study of Adult Development, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, found 93 percent of participants reached a symptom remission lasting at least two years.

Admission Criteria
Who the BPD Outpatient Program Admits and Refers Out
Olympic Behavioral Health admits adults aged 18 to 65 into the BPD outpatient program after a phone assessment and clinical review. Clients with a history of self-harm are accepted. Active self-harm requires a higher level of care than outpatient treatment provides.
Olympic Behavioral Health accepts adults into BPD treatment who meet five criteria:
- ✓Hold a borderline personality disorder diagnosis
- ✓Were told the diagnosis was bipolar disorder instead
- ✓Move between providers without a stable treatment plan
- ✓Live with emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, and unstable relationships
- ✓Are medically stable and able to attend scheduled groups
Ask What a DBT Week Involves
Free, confidential, and no obligation. Olympic Behavioral Health confirms BPD treatment benefits before anything begins.
How Treatment Works
Specialized DBT Programming for Borderline Personality Disorder
Olympic Behavioral Health treats borderline personality disorder with specialized DBT programming. Skills groups cover four modules: emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness and mindfulness, with psychiatric medication management running alongside them.
Borderline personality disorder treatment at Olympic Behavioral Health rests on three fixed components:
- ✓DBT skills training in group, covering all four standard skill modules
- ✓Weekly individual therapy of 50 to 60 minutes with an assigned primary therapist
- ✓Medication management from a certified family nurse practitioner, with psychiatrist referrals available
Levels of Care
Three Levels of Care, One DBT Skills Curriculum
Partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and outpatient are the three levels that carry borderline personality disorder treatment, and the DBT skills curriculum is identical in all three. The same clinical team follows each client down the continuum as hours reduce.
| Level of Care | Hours / Week | Schedule | BPD Components | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PHP, Partial Hospitalization | 30+ hours | Seven days. Weekdays 9 AM to 3:30 PM, weekends 10 AM to 1 PM | Daily DBT skills groups, psychiatry, individual and family therapy | Frequent crises and unstable daily functioning |
| IOP, Intensive Outpatient | 9 to 12 hours | Mon to Sat, 9 AM to 12 PM | DBT skills groups, individual therapy, medication management | Skills taking hold, work or study resuming |
| OP, Outpatient | 4 hours | Once weekly, 3-hour group | Weekly group and long-term skills reinforcement | Maintenance after IOP, psychiatry continuing |
Substance use is treated first when both are active. Where a substance use disorder sits alongside borderline personality disorder, Olympic Behavioral Health coordinates placement with licensed detox partners and admits the client into PHP or IOP once detox is complete.

Treatment Methods
Six Therapies Olympic Behavioral Health Runs Alongside DBT
CBT, EMDR, neurofeedback, family therapy, art therapy and group therapy are the six modalities of BPD therapy that run alongside DBT skills training at Olympic Behavioral Health. Each one works a different layer underneath borderline personality disorder: the trauma, the thought patterns, or the family dynamics.
EMDR and Trauma Resolution
EMDR and Rapid Trauma Resolution process the early trauma carried into borderline personality disorder treatment.
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback trains the arousal response under BPD emotional dysregulation, and it runs alongside DBT skills training rather than replacing the skills work.
Family Therapy
Weekly family therapy plus a Monday family meeting, where relatives learn what helps when borderline personality disorder symptoms escalate.
Art Therapy
Art therapy gives BPD clients a way to express states that are difficult to put into words during dysregulation.
Group Therapy
Includes a standing group on personality and attachment styles, examining the patterns that shape relationships.
Clients also receive motivational interviewing, mindfulness training, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming within BPD treatment.
Conditions Treated
Borderline Personality Disorder and Substance Abuse Treated Together
Substance use disorder, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and bipolar disorder are the four diagnoses treated on the same plan as borderline personality disorder at Olympic Behavioral Health, rather than one after another.
Substance Use Disorders
Alcohol and drugs start as a way to shut down feeling that arrives too fast in BPD. The relief is real, and brief.
Depression and Mood Disorders
Low mood and anxiety in BPD move in hours, not weeks. Medication alone does not settle mood that shifts on that timescale, so psychiatry and DBT skills work run together.
Trauma and PTSD
The trauma came first and borderline personality disorder symptoms grew around the trauma. Treating BPD without treating the trauma is why progress stalls.
Bipolar Disorder
Impulsivity belongs to bipolar disorder and to BPD, but BPD shifts without the elevated mood of mania. Separating the two changes the treatment plan.
Olympic Behavioral Health is dually licensed, so borderline personality disorder, substance use and a mood or trauma diagnosis sit on one treatment plan. Schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder and schizophreniform disorder are accepted when stabilized. Active self-harm goes to a higher level of care, and an active eating disorder is referred out.
Insurance
What Insurance Covers for BPD Treatment
Outpatient behavioral health benefits are what pay for BPD treatment at Olympic Behavioral Health. TRICARE is in-network, and every other PPO plan is used through out-of-network benefits. Every benefit check is free and carries no obligation.
TRICARE covers active-duty military, veterans, and their families. Olympic Behavioral Health also works with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, UMR, GEHA, Humana, and Anthem as out-of-network PPO benefits. What a plan pays depends on the level of care and the deductible, so the Olympic Behavioral Health admissions team confirms the number in writing before treatment begins.
INSURANCES WE ACCEPTTRICARE is the only in-network plan. Every other payer named is accepted using out-of-network PPO benefits for BPD treatment. Olympic Behavioral Health does not accept Medicaid or Medicare.

Before You Call
Olympic Behavioral Health BPD Treatment FAQs
The diagnosis, DBT programming, outpatient care and insurance are covered in the seven answers that follow, all specific to the borderline personality disorder treatment center Olympic Behavioral Health runs in Lantana.
What is borderline personality disorder?
Borderline personality disorder is a psychiatric condition marked by intense emotional swings, unstable relationships, impulsivity, and a fragile sense of identity. Emotions shift within hours rather than over days or weeks. Olympic Behavioral Health treats adults aged 18 to 65 who hold the diagnosis.
Can borderline personality disorder be treated?
Yes. The McLean Hospital research followed borderline personality disorder patients for a decade and found 93 percent reached remission that held for two years or more. Recovery with strong social and work functioning takes longer to reach.
Is borderline personality disorder the same as bipolar disorder?
No. Bipolar disorder involves mood episodes lasting days or weeks. Borderline personality disorder involves shifts within hours, usually triggered by something interpersonal. The two are confused with each other, and a psychiatric evaluation at Olympic Behavioral Health separates them before treatment starts.
What therapy works best for borderline personality disorder?
Dialectical behavior therapy works best for borderline personality disorder, and Olympic Behavioral Health delivers it as specialized DBT programming rather than a general skills class.
Can BPD be treated on an outpatient basis?
Yes. At Olympic Behavioral Health, borderline personality disorder is treated entirely through outpatient care at the PHP, IOP and OP levels in Lantana. Clients keep phone access and their daily freedoms, which is what separates this from a residential program.
Does insurance cover BPD treatment?
Yes. TRICARE is in-network for BPD treatment, and most PPO plans pay through out-of-network benefits. Checking benefits is free and non-binding, and the figure arrives before admission. What a plan pays depends on the level of care and the deductible. Medicaid and Medicare are not accepted.
Where is BPD treatment near West Palm Beach?
Suite 200 at 3618 Lantana Road is the only address where BPD groups run. The building sits 12 miles south of downtown West Palm Beach, off I-95 at exit 61, and serves all of Palm Beach County.

Truly changed my life. Came from residential program feeling ready to return home but decided to step to Olympic before I made the journey home. Best decision I ever made. It truly strengthened everything I learned and provides an opportunity to put it into practice. If you come with the right mindset and attitude you will truly be grateful. Love all the staff and alumni the support is truly out of this world. Love you and miss you guys!

Olympic saved my life! When I first got there, I was absolutely against it, but Meg and her crew did some things different for me and made the place to fit me so that I would stay. They made me feel welcome and comfortable Which is hard to do! But it’s been amazing success that we had is truly unprecedented. They’re friendly and they know what they’re doing. God bless them!
