Schizophrenia may be one of the most misunderstood and mental health disorders. The symptoms from this chronic brain disorder vary from person to person. One of the hallmarks of schizophrenia is that it affects a person’s ability to think logically and recognize reality. The disease affects about 1 in every 100 people around the world. Getting enrolled in a schizophrenia treatment program, such as the one at Viewpoint Dual Recovery Center can be essential. It allows those with this mental disorder to learn to manage day-to-day living.
Many experts believe the development of schizophrenia ties back to various genetic and environmental factors. Having a family history of the disorder can increase a person’s chances of inheriting the disease by 10 percent. Research has identified specific genes that heighten a person’s risk of developing schizophrenia. They affect brain development and interfere in the way nerve cells communicate.
The disorder may manifest during childhood and persist throughout a person’s life. Many people who have schizophrenia may end up isolating themselves from others due to the difficulty they have with their thought processes and perception of the world.
Schizophrenia falls into a classification with several other psychotic disorders. Those who suffer from the condition may experience the following symptoms:
People with schizophrenia often have issues functioning at work or forming lasting personal relationships. They may also begin neglecting their personal care. Individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia are at a heightened risk for self-destructive behaviors, including substance abuse and thoughts of suicide.
While there’s no cure for schizophrenia, it is possible to help those with the disorder manage the symptoms. Early enrollment in a schizophrenia treatment program is essential to having success in those efforts. Viewpoint Dual Recovery Center often combines the use of medication and psychological counseling to help keep the symptoms of schizophrenia under control.
Clients participating in Viewpoint Dual Recovery Center’s schizophrenia treatment program receive a full assessment. We take a holistic approach to treatment by focusing on what benefits the individual versus trying to fit everyone into a specific treatment plan.
Our staff has a combined 40 years of experience helping clients dealing with mental health and substance abuse issues. Since many people dealing with schizophrenia often turn to substance abuse, they may benefit from therapies offered through our other programs.
