ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: Treatment guidelines on borderline personality disorder (BPD) recommend day-hospital or residential treatments for patients with BPD who cannot tolerate outpatient treatment (American Psychiatric Association, 2010; National Health & Medical Research Council, 2013). However, the current literature suggests that evidence-based treatment for BPD may be difficult to access (Lohman et al., 2017). The present study aims to characterize the accessibility of dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) in day-treatment and residential programs in the United States in the last 7 years and examines whether day-treatment and residential programs that accept state benefits (i.e., Medicaid) are significantly less likely to offer DBT.
METHOD: Using mixed logistic regression, we examined trends in the National Mental Health Services Survey data from 2014 to 2021, a survey of U.S. mental health facilities which tracks whether facilities provide DBT.
RESULTS: We found that the likelihood that a residential or day-hospital facility offers DBT has been growing over time at the national level (ORday-treatment = 1.07, SE = .03, z = 1.90, p = .05; ORresidential = 1.08, SE = .05, z = 1.77, p = .08). We also found significant variability in these trends at the state level. In addition, we found that facilities accepting state benefits were less likely to offer DBT (ORday-treatment = .66, SE = .021, z = -1.93, p = .05; ORresidential = .67, SE = .21, z = -1.91, p = .06).
CONCLUSION: Consistent with previous literature, our study suggests that these programs are very scarce across the United States and difficult to access for those with Medicaid.guidelines on borderline personality disorder (BPD) recommend day-hospital or residential treatments for patients with BPD who cannot tolerate outpatient treatment (American Psychiatric Association, 2010; National Health & Medical Research Council, 2013).
