While the exact cause of schizophrenia remains unknown, several risk factors may contribute to its development:
- Genetics: A family history of schizophrenia increases the risk.

- Environment: Early exposure to viruses or malnutrition may pose risks, particularly during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy.
- Substance Use: The use of mind-altering substances during adolescence and young adulthood can increase the risk of developing schizophrenia.

Treatment Options for Schizophrenia in New Jersey
Managing schizophrenia requires a comprehensive treatment approach tailored to the individual’s needs. Individuals seeking schizophrenia rehab in New Jersey will find a variety of treatment programs available to them. At Stone River Behavioral Health, we offer several levels of care:
Inpatient treatment is the most intensive level of care, focusing on immediate stabilization and crisis management. It is typically recommended for individuals experiencing severe symptoms or those who pose a risk to themselves or others.
Our PHP provides a structured day program where individuals participate in a full spectrum of therapy and support services while returning home in the evenings. This level of care is ideal for those who need substantial support but do not require 24-hour supervision.
The IOP offers comprehensive treatment while allowing individuals to maintain some daily routines and responsibilities. This flexibility makes it easier for individuals to integrate treatment with their external commitments.
Outpatient treatment is suitable for individuals whose symptoms are manageable with regular therapy sessions and medication management. This level of care requires a commitment to attending scheduled appointments and can effectively continue long-term care.
Medications are an essential component of schizophrenia treatment to manage symptoms. Our experienced psychiatrists work with patients to find the most effective medication regimen and regularly monitor its efficacy and side effects.
Psychotherapy or talk therapy is another crucial element of comprehensive schizophrenia treatment. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), group therapy, and family therapy are tailored to address the specific needs of schizophrenia patients, helping them develop coping skills and improve communication and social skills.
At Stone River Behavioral Health, our multidisciplinary team creates customized treatment plans incorporating all these aspects to provide holistic care. We focus not only on reducing symptoms but also on improving overall functioning and quality of life. Our evidence-based treatments and supportive community make us a standout choice for schizophrenia care in New Jersey.
