Compassionate and Comprehensive Care at Meadow Hill Behavioral Health
Experiencing or witnessing psychosis can be frightening and confusing. At Meadow Hill Behavioral Health, we provide safe, evidence-based, and supportive treatment for adolescents and young adults experiencing symptoms of psychosis. Our goal is to stabilize, understand the root cause, and promote long-term mental wellness through individualized care.
Psychosis is a mental health condition characterized by a disconnection from reality. Individuals experiencing psychosis may have:
Hallucinations – seeing, hearing, or feeling things that aren’t there
Delusions – strong beliefs not grounded in reality
Disorganized thinking – difficulty organizing thoughts or speech
Paranoia – feeling suspicious or threatened without cause
Social withdrawal and decline in daily functioning
Psychosis is not a diagnosis itself but a symptom of underlying mental health conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, severe depression, or trauma-related disorders.
Psychosis can be triggered by various factors, including:
Genetic predisposition or family history of mental illness
Stressful life events or trauma
Substance use (especially cannabis, hallucinogens, or stimulants)
Sleep deprivation
Brain injury or medical illness
Onset of a primary psychiatric disorder (e.g., schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder)
Early intervention is crucial. The earlier treatment begins, the better the long-term outcomes.
We provide structured, supportive, and holistic treatment for adolescents and young adults navigating psychosis. Our approach is grounded in safety, dignity, and evidence-based care.
Our experienced clinical team conducts a thorough psychiatric evaluation to understand the nature of the symptoms, determine any underlying causes, and identify co-occurring disorders.
When appropriate, antipsychotic medications are used to reduce symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions. Our psychiatrists closely monitor medication effectiveness and side effects, adjusting as needed to support long-term stability.
Psychotherapy helps individuals:
Understand their symptoms
Develop coping strategies
Rebuild confidence and daily functioning
Address trauma, anxiety, or depression linked to psychotic episodes
CBTp is a specialized therapy that teaches individuals how to question and reframe delusional thinking, manage hallucinations, and reduce the distress they cause.
Family involvement is vital. We offer psychoeducation and counseling to help caregivers understand psychosis, build healthy communication, and provide support during recovery.
We help clients regain independence through:
Daily living skill-building
Social skills training
Academic and vocational goal-setting
Mindfulness and emotional regulation exercises
Our residential and intensive outpatient programs provide round-the-clock supervision, structure, and emotional support, helping clients regain stability in a peaceful setting.
Psychosis can be deeply isolating, but it is treatable. At Meadow Hill Behavioral Health, we treat the person, not just the symptoms. With the right care, young people can learn to manage their condition, pursue their goals, and live fulfilling lives.
