PERSONALIZED CARE FOR
Specific Personality Disorders
Personality disorders can present in many different ways, and no two individuals experience them exactly the same. At The Summit Sanctuary, we provide individualized treatment plans designed to address each guest's unique symptoms, challenges, and goals.
​
Our clinical team has experience treating a wide range of personality disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, including:
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
Characterized by emotional instability, fear of abandonment, impulsive behaviors, intense relationships, and difficulties with self-image.
​
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)
Often involves challenges related to self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, emotional vulnerability, and self-worth.
​
Avoidant Personality Disorder
Characterized by social inhibition, fear of criticism, feelings of inadequacy, and avoidance of interpersonal situations.
Dependent Personality Disorder
Involves excessive reliance on others for decision-making, reassurance, and emotional support.
​
Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD)
Characterized by perfectionism, rigidity, control, and difficulty adapting to change.
​
Paranoid Personality Disorder
Often involves chronic distrust, suspicion of others, and difficulty forming close relationships.
​
Other Specified Personality Disorders
Individuals may experience personality-related symptoms that do not fit neatly into a single diagnostic category but still significantly impact daily functioning and wellbeing.
​
Many individuals with personality disorders also struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, substance use disorders, relationship difficulties, or chronic stress. Our integrated treatment model addresses these co-occurring concerns simultaneously, helping guests achieve greater emotional stability, healthier relationships, and lasting personal growth.

After residential care, clients may transition to our Scottsdale-based step‑down program:

This continuity reinforces progress, stabilizes new patterns, and reduces relapse risk. Guests are able to step-down into the same quality of care, comfort, and team that they are accustom to.
