Schizophrenia is a severe chronic mental illness characterized by psychotic symptoms, changes in mood, and disordered thinking. The symptoms of schizophrenia have far-reaching consequences, and can impact how an individual functions at home, school, work, and in their relationships.

While there is no cure for this complex condition and the symptoms can be extremely debilitating, with treatment and ongoing care, individuals with schizophrenia can live a healthy, successful life and benefit from tailored residential treatment for schizophrenia.

Schizophrenia Treatment Overview


Schizophrenia will not get better on its own, so treatment is crucial. It is also not uncommon for individuals suffering from schizophrenia to have a co-occurring disorder such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or other mental health disorders, making an accurate diagnosis a vital element of the treatment process.

In addition to psychotherapy, medication is a very important part of the treatment plan for schizophrenia to help patients normalize patterns of thoughts and perceptions. Residential treatment is especially helpful as it allows patients to try out different medications and types of therapy in a safe place while they find the best treatment plan.

Alternative and holistic therapies are also effective when used in addition to medication and therapy. Residential treatment for schizophrenia will help clients achieve long-term sustainable change to manage their symptoms and regain normal healthy social function.

The prognosis for those suffering from schizophrenia is good. With a commitment to the residential treatment process, as well as other factors like continued medication and therapy, it is possible to achieve lasting change.

Integrated Treatment for Schizophrenia at Bridges to Recovery


Following a treatment plan designed by an experienced mental health professional can help those with schizophrenia live a more balanced life with less episodes and more stable moods, as well as a greater overall function. You will be prescribed an individualized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Treatment plans for schizophrenia normally include:

  • Medications. Antipsychotics are used to treat schizophrenia. Most often clients will try more than one drug or a combination to find the right mix for their symptoms.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is often used to help patients learn to recognize and normalize their abnormal thoughts and behaviors. Patients also learn to process and cope in healthy ways by retraining their thinking patterns.
  • Creative Therapies. Sometimes creative therapies are used as apart of the treatment plan like art, music, drama, animal, or adventure therapies.
  • Family therapy and education. Therapy that involves your family may be a great way to help educate the people most important to you about your schizophrenia and about how they can best support you.
  • Relaxation and mindfulness techniques. Alternative and holistic therapies may also be used to treat schizophrenia. Most commonly, meditation, yoga, and exercise are administered.
