Schizophrenia Treatment at 12 South Recovery

Schizophrenia is a challenging mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. When someone you care about shows signs of schizophrenia or receives this diagnosis, finding comprehensive care becomes essential. Residential treatment programs, like those offered at 12 South Recovery, provide structured support that includes therapy, medical care, and practical life skills training.

Schizophrenia affects less than 1% of people, but its impact on individuals and families can be overwhelming. People may experience hallucinations, persistent false beliefs, disorganized thinking, difficulty concentrating, and sometimes emotional flatness or diminished pleasure in activities.

While schizophrenia is a long-term condition, effective treatment helps many people manage their symptoms and lead fulfilling lives. Residential programs often provide the most comprehensive approach, offering the intensive, consistent care needed to develop coping strategies through therapy, medication management, community support, and wellness practices.

At 12 South Recovery, we develop personalized treatment plans for each client. Our experienced team combines expertise across all aspects of mental health and wellness to guide your recovery process effectively.

The Initial Assessment :

The treatment journey commences with an exhaustive assessment as residents check in. This procedure comprises one-on-one sessions, medication review, and evaluations of psychiatric, medical, and health histories. This process is designed to make residents comfortable and ready to embark on their recovery journey.
Involving the Family :

Mental illnesses affect not only the individual but also their families. 12 South Recovery recognizes this fact and includes family members in the treatment process, conducting at least one family therapy session per week.
Comprehensive Treatment :

Patients have a minimum of two individual sessions per week with therapists employing suitable therapeutic approaches, including behavioral therapies. Treatment for schizophrenia also encompasses medications, alternative therapies, group therapy, life and work skills training, and family therapy, tailored to the unique needs of each patient.
A Caring Community :

12 South Recovery cultivates a compassionate, supportive community environment. Patients interact not only with therapists and their families but also with other patients, fostering strong social bonds that promote skill development, overall health, and recovery.
Long-Term Care for Lasting Changes :

12 South Recovery is committed to offering each patient a level and type of treatment conducive to sustainable changes. Long-term residential care for schizophrenia aims to empower patients to make significant behavioral modifications, which they can apply beyond the treatment setting.Schizophrenia Residential Treatment at 12 South Recovery

• Flat emotional affect or lack of expression.
• Unstructured speech or conversations that lack coherence.
• Inappropriate emotional responses, such as laughing at inappropriate times.
• Impaired functionality in terms of everyday activities, hygiene, work, or home responsibilities.
• Unusual behaviors, impulsivity, or lack of restraint.
• At 12 South Recovery, we can provide consultation and advice. You can bring your loved one here for an assessment and comprehensive mental and physical evaluation, which can help us craft a personalized treatment plan.

Family support forms a critical component of effective schizophrenia treatment. While therapy and medication can help manage symptoms and foster healthier behaviors, the understanding and support of the family are crucial in ensuring stability post-treatment.

Family therapy is a key feature of 12 South Recovery’s treatment approach, with a minimum of one hour per week dedicated to sessions involving family members. Families are also encouraged to participate in support group meetings and educational sessions, enabling them to better understand schizophrenia and provide the necessary support to their loved one during and after treatment.

Levels of Care for Schizophrenia Treatment

12 South Recovery understands that schizophrenia affects everyone differently. We offer several levels of care that adapt to your changing needs throughout recovery:

24-Hour Residential Treatment: For those needing initial stabilization, our round-the-clock care provides a structured environment with continuous supervision. Here, we focus on symptom management and essential medical support.

Semi-Independent Living: As stability improves, residents transition to this level where they maintain regular therapy while developing greater independence. This includes weekly individual sessions, group work, family therapy, and practical skills training.

Independent Living: This serves as a bridge between residential care and fully independent living. Residents continue their treatment off-site while practicing real-world skills, maintaining supportive connections, and gradually adjusting to life beyond our facility.

Beyond these core programs, we provide extended support through outpatient services, care coordination, crisis assistance, complementary therapies, and community events to help maintain progress and prevent isolation.

12 South Recovery is founded on the belief that the path to recovery from mental illness is not a solitary journey. The emphasis is on creating a supportive community wherein patients interact with both peers and specialists.

This approach fosters the development of social skills, facilitates learning from peers, and ensures patients feel included and heard. Through effective, evidence-based treatment in a community setting, individuals learn to manage schizophrenia and envision a brighter future.

If you or a loved one is struggling with schizophrenia, you don’t have to face it alone. At 12 South Recovery, we provide compassionate, expert care in a structured, supportive environment designed to help individuals regain stability and improve their quality of life.
