Valproic acid: The usual starting dose is 750-1000 mg/day, orally, and the target dose is usually in the range of 1000-3000 mg/day (Gupta, 2020). Education, including health promotion, maintenance, and psychosocial needs. Pharmacologic interventions for the treatment of bipolar disorder and substance abuse involve the use of medication to manage symptoms and reduce the risk of relapse. The specific medications used, as well as the dosage, route, and frequency, will depend on the individual's specific symptoms and medical history. Mood stabilizers, such as lithium, valproic acid, and carbamazepine, are often used to treat bipolar disorder. These medications work by controlling the manic or hypomanic episodes associated with the disorder. They can also help to prevent or reduce the severity of depressive episodes. The dosage, route, and frequency of these medications will vary depending on the individual's response and blood level. Atypical antipsychotics, such as olanzapine, quetiapine, and risperidone, can also be used to treat bipolar disorder. These medications work by blocking the action of certain chemicals in the brain that may contribute to manic or hypomanic episodes (Gupta, 2020). They are often used in combination with mood stabilizers to manage symptoms. The dosage, route, and frequency of these medications will vary depending on the individual's response.
