Mission

The mission of Silver Hill Hospital is quite simple – we are here to provide the best possible treatment to persons suffering from mental illness, addictive disorders or both. We have been carrying out this mission for over 80 years and have earned the reputation for being one of the premiere psychiatric hospitals in the country.

When Silver Hill Hospital was founded in 1931 the Hospital’s founders established its guiding principles. Patients were to be treated with dignity and respect. They were to be active participants in their own treatments and agents of their own recovery. They were to be afforded both the best standard treatments of the day and the most innovative new treatments. They might remain at Silver Hill until they were ready to resume their normal lives. And all of this would take place in a tranquil, dignified setting designed to foster the process of recovery.

Products

Reviews
It’s been 6 years since I left this place, and I can say they did squat to help with my recovery. Not only was I misdiagnosed while detoxing from substances and with the use of a Rorschach test, which has been widely disavowed as quackery, which was damaging for my mental health treatment, but I also left this place and immediately relapsed. I hope they still don’t rely on the 12-step program, which has a 5-10% success rate! My social worker was an intern not much older than me I was 21 at the time. She had no idea what to do with me, lol. Thank goodness insurance covered my time here. Don’t waste your money. It’s another tumor that makes up the predatory rehab-industrial complex. They make more money if you fail and have to return. I’ve been sober from my DOC for over 4 years. And what was my magical “cure?” I found better purpose in my life; I found my true passion. And that passion has made me a successful small biz owner not afraid to publicly shame them for their overpriced nonsense. I’ll add, I guess decorating a gingerbread house didn’t make me magically become sober. Who would’ve thought?
TOTAL SCAM. please make sure you know what you are getting into. Deposit is not for treatment. It for future services. If you decide the treatment isn’t right or working, you will forfeit everything “because it’s our policy.” That is not putting the patient first as their motto states. This wont work for everyone. My daughter felt the program wasn’t right for her due to the housing they put her in with drug addicts while she was admitted for depression! I now read the other reviews and understand.
I stayed here about 5 years ago and there’s a lot of good factors to this hospital, many of the staff was very caring and the food was usually well made. The facility was beautiful from what I remember but also so expensive for what it had to offer. You would think at the price of the place they would be at some expertise level of care but unfortunately I do remember a lot of flaws to this place and looking at the other comments it turns out I’m not the only one. I looked at the staff directory that was updated and I’m very thankful to see that some faces are gone, one man doctor in particular who had no business being around vulnerable adolescent women.
I went to River House in 2011 for the DBT program and it was the best program I was ever in. That’s not saying overly much considering the state of so many very expensive residential mental health facilities, but Silver Hill was for sure the absolute best. Unfortunately when I went I was unable to take in the help fully or be fully present to utilize the resources. I was misdiagnosed with BPD at the time when in fact what I had was undiagnosed ADHD, high functioning Autism, and CPTSD. Given how little research there was into the female presentation of autism and ADHD I can’t fault them for not being able to correct the diagnosis, the understanding simply didn’t exist yet. However, the staff was amazing, they were extremely kind and understanding and had good personal boundaries. It was a very safe environment, well run, and we as patients had a surprising amount of autonomy. The food was also quite excellent and there were a ton of healthy options. Despite not being able to soak up the help that was offered it was still an amazing first step on my journey back to myself.
Not only did they not help with any of her bad habits, it was a complete waste of time, they are also known to be just a stop on the way to other RTC programs. I wish I knew that before telling her she should go. I’ve heard that it’s better for adults though.
Silver Hill Hospital saved my life. I completed the 28 day in-patient Transitional Living Program at Silver Hill a few years ago and it transformed every aspect of my life and overall health. The clinicians and care team at the facility are amazing and really spend the time to get to know your background and individual challenges. My care team let me explore things at my own pace and make decisions for myself rather than telling me what I "needed or should" do. Silver Hill also helped me integrate into my local recovery community so that I had a stable support system upon discharge. In addition, the people that help manage the houses are caring and passionate about helping you achieve recovery which meant a lot to me throughout the 28 day program. The facility itself is beautiful and has everything you need. The houses are well maintained and comfortable. The gym had every piece of equipment you could ask for including a basketball court and indoor pool. I also couldn't believe how good the food was for a treatment facility - they had tons of options and everything tasted amazing. Silver Hill honestly gave me a second chance at life and helped me begin to grow into the person I am today. I am forever grateful to Silver Hill and the staff there for allowing me to begin the healing process and change my life in so many positive ways. I highly recommend Silver Hill Hospital if you are considering entering treatment for substance abuse or mental health related problems.
Silver Hill Hospital was nothing short of life changing for my daughter. After working with therapist, psychiatrists, group therapy, PHPs and IOPs, I was desperate for something that would help with her severe anxiety and depression. The entire team and staff at Silver Hill were so welcoming, supportive and amazing from intake, throughout her stay and as she transitioned out of their care. I cannot believe how much progress my daughter made in just two weeks. As a parent, I know how scary it can be to see your child suffer and then to have to make the decision to send your child away for psychiatric care, especially when reviews are few and far between. That said, our experience with Silver Hill has been incredible. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone, child or adult, struggling with their mental health. I am so thankful for how they cared for my daughter and brought her back to life in a way that no other treatment program we tried ever could.
My month long stay in the transitional living program at Silver Hill was a very positive experience. The campus is beautiful and the facilities are clean and very well maintained. The staff is a warm and caring group of people, from the compassionate patient navigators and highly competent psychiatrists and social workers, to the kind food services people and the dedicated weekend yoga and meditation instructors! I took part in the trauma program where the principles of Cognitive Processing Therapy are applied in the healing process. My therapist, who led me in this program, was so skilled in the application of this therapy that I will be grateful to her forever. I did not want our work together to end! I have also found the skill set that I learned from the Dialectical Behavior Therapy teachings to be very useful for managing emotions in my every day life. During my stay, I was fortunate enough to spend some time with the hospital’s chaplain who was very good at simply listening to my story and witnessing the grief I have suffered due to the loss of a loved one. Her presence was very grounding. When not working in my therapy sessions, I made sure to get out and exercise on the beautiful campus grounds and to take advantage of practicing mindfulness skills during the yoga and meditation class offerings. I would highly recommend Silver Hill Hospital.
Silver Hill has made me gain so much hope for my recovery. My life before coming here was so unmanageable and I never thought I would become this knowledgeable and healthy! This is the best place to send your loved ones because Silver Hill Hospital tackles the core problems behind the problem behaviors. I have met so many kind, well, like minded people here, which has built my social support group. Now I have so many good healthy friends and don't intend to ever go back to my old behaviors. This place has made my life worth living again. Silver Hill has so many different houses that tackle so many different problem behaviors and health issues. There's a place here for recovery for anyone who wants it. I feel reborn after my stay here.
Silver Hill literally saved my life 19 years ago when I desperately sought help with my daily opiate addiction in November of 2003. Now , 19 years later , I am able to witness first hand what I have known to be true for a long time. Silver Hill is a magical place. Occasionally I will travel back to Silver Hill to share my story of recovery with the current residents, and it affords me the opportunity to see residents at different stages of what usually is a month long stay, and the difference in their recovery is clearly evident during that time frame. It’s such a gift for someone who is also in recovery to witness that growth. To a person the patients leave Silver Hill with a plan mapped out on what they need to do to stay sober once they leave the safety of the hospital. I have been clean and sober for 19 years and my time spent at Silver Hill over the last 8 months is the best thing that has happened for me as a sober man.
