Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) & Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

What is Psychosis?
Psychosis is a mental health condition that causes a disconnection from reality, often manifesting as hallucinations, delusions, and confusion.
An episode of psychosis can be triggered by various factors, including mental health disorders, substance use, or physical health issues.
Psychosis is not a sign of weakness or personal failure — it’s a medical condition that requires treatment and care.
Signs and Symptoms of Psychosis
Recognizing the signs of psychosis is a critical first step toward mental wellness.
When experiencing psychosis, you might encounter the following symptoms:
- Hallucinations: Hearing voices, seeing things that aren’t there, or feeling things that aren’t happening.
- Delusions: Holding beliefs that are not based in reality, such as thinking you have special powers or that others are plotting against you.
- Disorganized thinking: Having trouble organizing thoughts or making sense of conversations.
- Impaired reality testing: Difficulty distinguishing what is real from what is not.
- Mood disturbances: Emotional swings or extreme mood changes.
- Cognitive challenges: Difficulty concentrating, remembering things, or making decisions.
Different Types of Psychosis
Our clinicians are trained to identify and treat different types of psychotic disorders. Some common forms include:
- Postpartum Psychosis: A rare but serious condition that occurs shortly after childbirth, characterized by severe mood changes, hallucinations, and delusions.
- Drug-Induced Psychosis: Triggered by the use of substances such as stimulants, hallucinogens, or alcohol, this type of psychosis can occur as a negative side effect and may last as long as the substance remains in the body but can persist in some cases.
- Cannabis-Induced Psychosis: Psychosis that results from excessive marijuana or cannabis use, often linked to high THC levels. Symptoms usually subside once the substance is metabolized, though underlying mental health issues may exacerbate symptoms.
- Schizophrenia: A chronic condition where psychosis is a long-term symptom, often manifesting as persistent hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking.
- Bipolar Disorder: Psychotic symptoms can occur during manic or depressive episodes, often including hallucinations or delusions.
- Severe Depression: In extreme cases, depression can trigger a psychotic episode and certain symptoms, including paranoia or hearing voices.
- Brief Psychotic Disorder: A short-term mental health condition that involves a sudden onset of psychotic symptoms.

How We Treat Psychosis
At Clear Behavioral Health, we understand that psychosis requires a personalized treatment plan. Our comprehensive treatment for psychosis includes:
- Medication: Antipsychotic medications are often prescribed to manage symptoms like hallucinations and delusions. If there is an underlying condition such as bipolar disorder or depression, we will also address that with the appropriate medication.
- Therapy: Therapy is essential in helping you understand the causes of psychosis and learn effective coping skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one approach we use to challenge harmful thought patterns and promote healthier thinking. We also offer other therapeutic modalities to help manage symptoms and improve emotional regulation.
- Holistic Care: We believe in treating the whole person. Along with traditional therapies, we offer yoga, mindfulness, and meditation to reduce stress and help you reconnect with your body and mind.
- Comprehensive Support: If there are other mental health or substance use issues contributing to your psychosis, we address them through our dual diagnosis programs. This ensures you receive the full support needed for a balanced recovery.

Frequently asked questions
Read through our FAQ for any questions you may have or give us a call today. We are here to answer your questions and support you or your loved one through their healing journey.
Can psychosis be cured?
Psychosis is a complex and nuanced disorder. Depending on the type of psychosis you are experiencing, and the severity of your psychosis symptoms, there are many forms of treatment to manage your psychosis effectively. “Curing” your psychosis depends on your individual circumstance. However, with support such as antipsychotic medications, therapy and community support, you can get to a life-long place of clarity and mental wellness.
How long does psychosis last?
The length of psychotic symptoms depends on the root cause of the symptoms, and your individual circumstances. Some diagnoses such as brief psychosis can last anywhere from a few days to a month. Other psychosis diagnoses can be chronic and last indefinitely. Finding treatment can reduce the frequency of your symptoms and improve your overall quality of life. Call us today to begin your treatment journey.
What does psychosis treatment include?
Psychosis affects each person differently, which means treatment for psychosis varies depending on the severity of your symptoms. Our treatment programs for psychosis includes individual therapy sessions using therapy modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and group therapy sessions with your peers.
You’ll also meet with a case manager in both an individual and group setting to develop coping and life skills to take with you after treatment. We also integrate holistic group therapy into our treatment programs which includes mind-body healing through yoga, meditation, sound baths, and more.
