At Excel Behavioral Health, we understand that living with schizophrenia can be one of the most challenging journeys a person might face. Schizophrenia affects nearly every part of life, from relationships and work to emotional well-being. But here’s the truth: you are not alone, and recovery is possible. Our schizophrenia treatment program is designed with one goal in mind: helping individuals not just cope, but thrive.
Schizophrenia is a serious mental health condition that requires specialized care and attention. While the symptoms can feel overwhelming, proper treatment can make a significant difference. At Excel Behavioral Health, we provide compassionate, evidence-based care and a supportive community to help our patients develop the tools they need for lasting recovery. Whether you’re seeking treatment for yourself or a loved one, our experienced team is here to guide you through every step of the healing process.
If you or someone you care about is struggling with schizophrenia in New Jersey, Excel Behavioral Health can help. Recovery begins here, with the understanding that healing is not a one-size-fits-all process—it’s personal, ongoing, and achievable.
Schizophrenia is a complex mental health condition that affects the way a person thinks, feels, and behaves. It’s not simply “seeing or hearing things”—it’s an illness that impacts a person’s entire way of experiencing the world. While schizophrenia can often feel isolating, it’s essential to realize that your diagnosis does not define you, and with the proper treatment, a fulfilling life is possible.
Schizophrenia typically develops between the late teens and early 30s, and it can affect people from all walks of life. While the exact causes aren’t fully understood, research has shown that it’s often linked to genetics, brain chemistry, and environmental factors.
Living with schizophrenia can feel confusing, especially if you don’t fully understand what’s happening. Common signs and symptoms include:
If you or someone you care about is experiencing these symptoms, Excel Behavioral Health is here to help. The earlier treatment begins, the better the chance for recovery and improved quality of life.
Treatment for schizophrenia is never one-size-fits-all. Every individual has unique needs, and finding the right approach to care is essential. In New Jersey, several treatment options are available, and Excel Behavioral Health is proud to offer services tailored to each stage of recovery.
For individuals who need intensive, round-the-clock care, inpatient treatment provides a safe and structured environment where healing can begin. Inpatient treatment is especially beneficial when symptoms are severe and require stabilization. While we don’t offer inpatient services directly at Excel Behavioral Health, we work closely with trusted partners to ensure our patients receive the care they need before transitioning to our outpatient programs.
Our PHP is a step down from inpatient care, but it still offers a high level of support. Individuals in this program attend treatment during the day and return home in the evenings. This structure provides the tools and therapies necessary for recovery while allowing patients to begin reintegrating into daily life.
For those who require consistent care but don’t need hospitalization, our IOP may be the ideal option. This program offers flexible scheduling, helping patients focus on recovery while balancing other personal responsibilities. At Excel Behavioral Health, our IOP includes evidence-based therapies, medication management, and peer support to create a balanced approach to treatment.
Our outpatient programs are designed for individuals who are further along in their recovery journey but still benefit from regular check-ins and counseling. Outpatient care focuses on maintaining stability and empowering patients to work through challenges as they arise.
Medication plays a critical role in managing schizophrenia symptoms. Antipsychotic drugs can help reduce hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking, giving patients the space they need to focus on their mental health. At Excel Behavioral Health, our psychiatric team works closely with patients to find the medication that works best for them while monitoring for side effects and adjusting treatment as needed.
Therapy is an essential part of schizophrenia treatment. At Excel Behavioral Health, we offer both individual and group therapy to address the emotional and social effects of schizophrenia. These sessions are designed to help patients develop coping strategies, improve communication skills, and process their experiences in a safe and supportive environment.
Our team employs evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and family counseling, to foster healing and connection. Therapy helps patients not only manage symptoms but also rebuild relationships and regain control over their lives.

We focus on building skills that help you navigate daily challenges, improve relationships, and achieve long-term goals.
