Personality disorders are persistent patterns of behavior, thought, and emotion that can feel all-consuming, rigid, and out of control.

Personality disorders are mental illnesses that affect how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. These patterns are typically rigid and inflexible, and can cause significant distress or impairment in a person’s life. Personality disorders often involve patterns of behavior and thinking that differ from cultural norms and can affect a person’s ability to function in various areas of life, such as relationships, work, and personal goals.
These patterns typically begin in adolescence or early adulthood and continue across different situations and over time. People with personality disorders may experience the world around them in unique or rigid ways, but they can learn to understand and change these patterns with evidence-based treatment.
Personality disorders are traditionally grouped into three clusters based on shared symptoms and traits.
Cluster A disorders are marked by unusual or distorted thought patterns and behaviors, often causing individuals to appear distant or socially detached.
Cluster B disorders involve intense emotions, impulsivity, and difficulty sustaining stable relationships.
Cluster C disorders are marked by chronic fear, anxiety, and patterns of avoidance.

At Monument Recovery, we understand that personality disorders involve deeply ingrained patterns that require compassionate, patient, and evidence-based care. Our treatment programs are specifically designed to guide individuals toward greater emotional balance, relationship satisfaction, and an improved overall quality of life.
Personalized Care for Individual Success
Personality disorders don’t fit into a single mold—each person’s experience is shaped by unique challenges, experiences, and strengths. That’s why we begin with a comprehensive evaluation to create a tailored treatment plan for your specific condition and goals.
Trauma-Informed and Compassionate Environment
Because trauma often plays a role in the development of personality disorders, our clinicians use a trauma-informed care approach. By emphasizing safety, trust, and self-compassion, we empower clients to explore their experiences and patterns without judgment.
Focus on Building New Patterns
Personality disorder treatment at Monument Recovery centers on helping individuals recognize the thoughts and behaviors contributing to their difficulties. By introducing healthier coping mechanisms, communication strategies, and tools for emotional regulation, we help clients learn new ways to navigate life and relationships.









At Monument Recovery, we know that every person is unique in their path to recovery. This is why we offer several levels of care to help you meet your recovery goals. Our levels of care are designed with flexibility, accessibility, and effective treatment in mind.
The Inpatient Program is our highest level of care. It is a completely immersive, structured program for those who need 24/7 support. If you have the most acute symptoms or need an intensive, undistracted environment to start your recovery, this program may be right for you. It offers individual and group therapy, workshops to develop important skills, and access to seasoned professionals, anytime, day or night.
Our Partial Hospitalization Program is an intensive, day treatment program designed to provide you with the most effective level of care. You receive individual and group therapy, along with therapeutic workshops to give you the tools you need to overcome challenges and maintain your gains throughout your recovery journey. The program provides structure and stability to your day, while allowing you to return home in the evenings.
Our Intensive Outpatient Program is designed for individuals seeking a balance between effective treatment and personal responsibilities, such as work, school, or family commitments. With part-time programming, IOP provides targeted therapy and group sessions scheduled at times that suit your lifestyle while allowing flexibility to maintain your everyday routine.
To ensure recovery is accessible from anywhere, Monument Recovery offers a Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (Virtual IOP). This online treatment option provides the same structure and support as our in-person IOP but allows you to participate in therapy and skill-building sessions from the comfort of your own home. Virtual IOP is ideal for those who live far from our treatment center, face transportation challenges, or need extra flexibility in their schedule.
Our Outpatient Therapy Program serves as a transitional or standalone option for individuals who have completed more intensive levels of care or have less severe symptoms. This program focuses on maintaining recovery progress, achieving personal growth, and preventing relapse. With less frequent therapy sessions, outpatient care allows individuals to receive ongoing professional support while integrating recovery into their daily lives.
No matter where you are in your recovery journey, Monument Recovery is here to provide the support you need to heal and thrive. Contact us today to explore which program is right for you.
Personality disorder treatment is most successful when it incorporates evidence-based therapies focused on building awareness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal skills. At Monument Recovery, we integrate multiple therapeutic modalities to provide the most effective care.
DBT is a cornerstone of treatment for many personality disorders, particularly borderline personality disorder. DBT helps individuals develop key skills, including mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
CBT is designed to help individuals identify unhelpful thought patterns that may lead to rigid behavior or conflict, replacing them with healthier, more adaptive perspectives.
Schema therapy focuses on addressing lifelong emotional patterns and negative beliefs caused by unmet needs in childhood. It’s particularly effective for individuals whose personality traits stem from deeply rooted experiences.
Mindfulness helps individuals develop self-awareness and stay grounded in the present moment, reducing emotional reactivity and increasing emotional control.
For individuals whose personality disorders are linked to past trauma, therapies that focus on processing and resolving trauma can be essential for recovery.
When you begin personality disorder treatment in AZ at Monument Recovery, we’ll guide you through each stage of your journey.
