There are a couple schools of thought on this. One possibility is that hallucinations are simply an organic brain disorder. If this is the case, you should learn to distinguish between the hallucinations and reality, then ignore the hallucinations as much as possible. Talking with an understanding person about what you are seeing can help - they can tell you what is real and what isn't.

Some people think hallucinations, particularly voices, are parts of the subconscious mind, and that it's best to listen to them to figure out what they want. If some repressed psychological issue is causing the problem, then the hallucinations might go away when you deal with it.

Still others think that hallucinations are a kind of breaking through of the spirit world. If this is the case, the solution would be to live a good life. This way you will avoid attracting the negative spiritual influences that cause harmful hallucinations.

I would suggest a combination of these approaches. Listen to the voices and try to deal with whatever they bring up, but only if what they want is positive and doesn't hurt you or someone else. Before doing anything the voices suggest, run it by someone you trust - if they say it's a bad idea, don't do it. Meanwhile, you should be trying to live a good life and helping others whenever you can, to cover your bases in case the third possibility is correct. If you are religious, you should be actively involved in your religion.

Note that I didn't mention anti-psychotic medication. Anti-psychotics are never a good idea. They cause brain damage that will ultimately make the problem worse, and leave many people with a permanent Parkinsons-like condition. These drugs were designed for the convenience of society, not to help the patient.
