One surprising psychosis treatment that works: learning to live with the voices.

Good news!

"Noah Hudnut’s family had already spent $150,000 on his psychiatric care when police hauled him to the emergency room in handcuffs. On top of the family’s expenses, Hudnut’s insurance company was billed at least $1,000 a day for his hospitalizations. Yet, his psychosis persisted. 

Following his release, his family enrolled him at California OnTrack. The classroom-style treatment teaches patients to carry on their lives despite imagined voices, hallucinations and false memories. His 14 months of treatment cost a fraction of what the family and insurers had paid for his care over the previous six years. So far, it has been successful."
