Education is important with this form of treatment so clients can recognize how different factors affect the course of the disease and what they can do to manage these factors (Steinkuller and Rheineck 342). Family therapy is also a means of treatment where family members as well as the client see a mental health provider to find solutions and ways to deal with the disorder. Family involvement provides structure and could increase adherence to treatment leading to delays or reductions in relapses (Steinkuller and Rheineck 342). Interpersonal and social rhythm therapy involves stabilizing social and circadian rhythms based on the hypotheses that unstable daily routines result in increased bipolar episodes in individuals prone to them (Steinkuller and Rheineck 349). Social rhythm therapy recognizes the need for regular sleep/wake cycles, regulation of meals, exercise, sleep and plans for keeping rhythms stable when disruptions occur.
However, a recent review of research found surprisingly little experimental evidence to support this hypothesis. Despite having a strong belief in the cycle of violence, there have been problems in previous studies that have made it difficult to get conclusions about the long-term consequences of early childhood victimization. These problems include the lack of a control group against which the abused and neglected group could be compared. Another problem is the retrospective design of the studies, requiring the researcher to rely on ability to remember details about their early childhood. Improving on past work, this study (done by sociology professors at Carleton University) included a relatively clear definition of abuse and neglect; a prospective design in which the development of children was followed rather than traced backward in time; a large sample group; a control group matched as closely as possible in age, sex, race and approximate social class background; and an assessment of the long-term consequences of abuse and neglect beyond adolescence and juvenile court and into adulthood.

Proper assessment of a client is one of the first things that a worker must do so he or she can acquire a better understanding of what type of treatment is need. Acquiring a wider variety of treatment programs and the use of advance technology helps aid those in need of a successful treatment. When finding a proper treatment program a worker must consider the persons particular needs like his or her personality, background, mental condition, and alcohol experience.
