Silver Ridge is in-network with Aetna, BCBS, Cigna and Humana, and can qualify for some out-of-network coverages. They’re part of the VA CCN as well so they can offer affordable treatment to veterans.

Staff Specialized in Veteran Needs

The facility offers a special program for veterans. Their professional staff are skilled to treat military related trauma and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Engaging with non-veteran clients can also help veterans reintegrate into civilian life.

Unique Treatment Modalities for Substance Use

At this treatment center they have traditional therapy and addiction counseling through individual therapy and group therapy. They also have more unique options though, like meditation, equine assisted therapy and nature therapy.

Equine assisted therapy is a form of therapy where clients build relationships with horses which builds self-awareness. Meditation helps rewire the brain which can reduce stress and anxiety. Nature therapy improves mental and physical wellbeing by outdoor activities.

Psychoeducation is part of the program here too. This helps clients understand addiction and their mental health and allows them to build coping skills.

Holistic Partial Hospitalization and Residential Programs

The partial hospitalization program (PHP) provides intensive care without residency. Treatment includes daily group therapies, goal-setting exercises, recreational therapy, equine-assisted therapy, Tai Chi and Qi Gong sessions, and weekly spirituality groups.

Residential substance use treatment is sometimes necessary too. This is offered for alcohol, benzodiazepine, cocaine, fentanyl, heroin, marijuana, opiate, prescription drug, stimulant, and other substance use disorders.

Clients have reported the chef provides tasty meals while paying attention to client preferences. They also enjoy the hikes which are a treat but also educational.
