Schizoaffective Disorder Treatment Center & Hospital in Fort Myers

Treatment for Schizoaffective Disorder at Park Royal

Schizoaffective disorder is a serious illness that can be devastating to an individual and their loved ones. Left untreated, people with this disorder can lead lonely lives as a result of symptoms such as paranoia, which causes them to push others away and others may slowly withdraw from their lives, either because they don’t know what to do to help their loved one or because they feel a sense of apprehension when they are around them. If you have symptoms of this disorder you may have found that you can’t seem to do things you once had no trouble with, such as holding down a job or doing well in school. Sometimes things may seem better in terms of your symptoms, but even then you recognize how many negative consequences have resulted from other times when you were experiencing a symptomatic episode.

If you do not seek help from a professional treatment center or hospital that specializes in schizoaffective disorder, this can turn a time that may have started off feeling relatively normal into a time filled with depression and anxiety, triggering another full-blown episode of mood or psychotic symptoms. You may have relied heavily on friends and family to get by, but now that they may not be part of your life anymore you don’t know where to turn. You may have even reached a point where you feel there is no hope of anything improving and feel as if you can’t take the suffering anymore. Know that with treatment, your symptoms can be managed and your quality of life improved. Fortunately, Park Royal Hospital in Fort Myers, FL offers high-quality schizoaffective disorder treatment at our center where you can find health and wellness once more.

Continuing Care – What Happens Next?

After you have come to terms with the acute problems of schizoaffective disorder you came to our inpatient program to get under control, we will work with you on where you will transition to next. We do everything possible at our treatment center for schizoaffective disorder to help you make a start on the road to healing that will ultimately take you where you want to go. We know there is often a great deal of anxiety experienced when discharge approaches, but we will begin helping you plan for the next phase of your treatment as soon as possible after admission to Park Royal Hospital. We believe in offering a continuity of care and currently have three intensive outpatient programs for schizoaffective disorder available for you to consider when you leave our acute facility. These are intended to provide intensive treatment on an outpatient basis, in order for you to be able to make significant headway in your battle against your problem.

Our IOP programs begin with a comprehensive evaluation, and based on the outcomes of this assessment, we will work with you to determine a treatment program for schizoaffective disorder that may include psychiatric sessions, individual or group therapy, and educational programs.

Our senior transition IOP program at Park Royal Hospital is different from many programs aimed at adults suffering from debilitating anxiety and mood disorders, including schizoaffective disorder. A main problem with these disorders is that individuals are unable to focus, pay attention, or concentrate. Thus, educational or instructional methods may not be the most effective options for these populations. Our program at our treatment center for schizoaffective disorder ensures that individuals have as many opportunities as possible to actively participate in all that we do.

Our senior IOP program is for those who are in need of more intensive services than are provided in traditional outpatient therapy but don’t require inpatient stabilization for conditions like schizoaffective disorder. We focus on an individual’s mood and various skills such as assertiveness training, socialization approaches, and anger control methods. We help the individual determine the most effective ways to reintegrate into a support system and restore or establish new relationships. Like all our IOP programs at our treatment center, we also integrate as much active participation into this program as possible.

Our Adult IOP is for those who don’t need the level of services provided in an inpatient program, but continue to need more intensive services than those provided in traditional outpatient programs. This program at our treatment center for schizoaffective disorder is intended to serve a diverse population with a wide range of problems, focusing on individuals who are suffering from co-occurring disorders.

While we work to help individuals consistently work from higher levels of care to lower, we know that sometimes a brief period of returning to a higher level of care can prove beneficial for certain individuals. We continuously assess your progress at Park Royal Hospital so that no matter what your needs, we will ensure that they are met at whatever level of treatment you require at the time for your schizoaffective disorder.
