Schizophrenia and Psychotic Spectrum Disorders are serious mental illnesses affecting thought processes, emotions, and behavior. Symptoms may include paranoia, severe and unpredictable mood swings, hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, and bizarre behavior. Untreated psychosis results in more severe symptoms, hospitalizations, social problems, and poor health, including a shorter life expectancy.
Our dedicated staff create a safe and accepting environment in which medications are essential while psychotherapies (individual, group, and a therapeutic community) create a total immersion learning environment to help residents decode the social, family, and emotional impact of their symptoms. Helping restore emotional balance, building resilience against future breakdowns, and identifying triggers of stress are crucial in breaking the cycle of breakdown. In time, many with psychotic disorders can achieve recovery with meaningful social and occupational functioning.
