Schizoaffective Disorder Treatment in Orange County, CA

Integrated Residential Mental Health Care for Mood and Thought Stabilization

Schizoaffective disorder combines symptoms of both schizophrenia and a mood disorder like depression or bipolar disorder. For many, this condition brings confusion, emotional instability, and disorganized thoughts that make it difficult to function in daily life.

At First Light Recovery, we provide residential treatment for adults living with schizoaffective disorder — with a unique focus on treating the whole person. Our supportive, home-like setting offers the clinical structure and compassion needed to stabilize symptoms and rebuild a fulfilling, independent life.

What Is Schizoaffective Disorder

Schizoaffective disorder is often misdiagnosed or misunderstood. It involves a mix of psychotic symptoms (like hallucinations or delusions) and mood symptoms (such as depression or mania). You might experience.

Hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren’t there)
Delusions (believing things that others don’t find true)
Disorganized speech or thought
Episodes of depression or mania
Low energy or loss of interest
Impulsive behavior or risky decisions
Difficulty keeping up with relationships, work, or responsibilities

How Our Residential Program Helps

At First Light Recovery, we take an integrated approach — treating both the mood symptoms and thought disturbances at the same time, in a cohesive and structured environment.
