Schizoaffective Disorder Treatment Denver, CO

Reclaim your life with specialized support that addresses both schizoaffective disorder and addiction – right here in Denver.

Schizoaffective disorder is a complex psychiatric illness, often tricky to diagnose. Many individuals with this condition also grapple with substance use in an attempt to manage the symptoms. Unfortunately, this reliance can worsen both psychotic challenges and mood instability, making the case even more complex.

At Mile High Recovery Center in Denver, we recognize the unique difficulties experienced by those navigating schizoaffective disorder alongside addiction. Our compassionate team is committed to supporting your journey toward stability, genuine healing, and a future defined by hope and renewal.

Understanding Schizoaffective Disorder and Substance Addiction

Initially considered a subtype of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder is marked by a unique combination of psychotic symptoms and significant mood disturbances. It is classified into two types, depending on whether the mood component is depressive or bipolar.

The overlap of symptoms can make daily life unpredictable and overwhelming, often increasing the risk of turning to drugs or alcohol for relief. When addiction and schizoaffective disorder occur together, a situation known as dual diagnosis, an integrated treatment approach becomes essential. Addressing only one condition without the other can hinder sustainable recovery.

Our specialized program in Denver is tailored for individuals who need comprehensive care for both co-occurring issues. We go beyond symptom management by working to understand root causes, identify personal triggers, and foster resilience for long-term wellness and relapse prevention.

When to Consider Treatment for Schizoaffective Disorder

Recognizing when to seek professional dual diagnosis care for Schizoaffective Disorder can be vital for recovery. Early intervention not only helps address both conditions more effectively but also lays the groundwork for lasting sobriety and an improved quality of life.

Signs to look out for:

Persistent hallucinations, delusions, or disorganized thinking
Extreme mood swings, from deep depression to periods of mania
Impaired speech and difficulty expressing thoughts clearly
Noticeable decline in daily functioning or self-care
Increased isolation or trouble maintaining relationships
Worsening symptoms when attempting to stop use

You are not alone. Schizoaffective disorder with co-occurring substance use is more common than many realize, and the right treatment can help you reclaim control and stability.
