Heart icon Treatment at Silvermist

book iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

prescription iconDrug Addiction

Drug rehab in Pennsylvania is devoted to the treatment of addiction. Levels of care, treatment methods, and settings differ, but the aim of each program is to end drug dependency and empower participants to achieve long-term recovery.

head-side-medical iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

file-medical iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

prescription-bottle-pill iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care at Silvermist

car-building iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

bed-front iconInpatient Rehab

Inpatient rehab provides clients with an opportunity to focus solely on their sobriety away from the stressors of the home and workplace. Clients receive housing, food, and intensive clinical supervision. They also typically engage in multiple addiction counseling sessions each week, including daily individual, group, and/or family sessions. Most programs also prioritize recovery-focused life skills training, including courses in relapse prevention. Many facilities offer evidence-based holistic therapies, such as yoga and meditation.

house-medical iconAftercare

Clients receiving services from a rehab aftercare program are usually stable and in the maintenance phase of recovery, having completed detox and/or intensive inpatient treatment. Rehab aftercare services can vary widely based on clients' individual and evolving needs, but often include peer coaching, relapse prevention support, 12 step program induction, and medical, mental health, and social service referrals. Individual care plans are typically developed by the client in partnership with their case manager and care team.

book-medical icon12-Step

Silvermist is proudly committed to using the 12 steps and 12-step therapy in its programming, and they believe that the use of the 12 steps substantially increases the likelihood of success in achieving long-term recovery. By supporting the 12 steps and encouraging our residents to attend 12-step meetings, Silvermist residents are allowed to form a support network of likeminded individuals outside of the facility. Meetings can also provide the coping tools and behavioral strategies necessary for their residents to successfully reintegrate into their home communities while achieving their most important goal: remaining sober.

hospital iconPartial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

truck-medical icon24-Hour Clinical Care

At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Equine Therapy

Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. It does not necessarily involve riding horses, but all activities related to horses, such as feeding, grooming, haltering and leading them. A mental health professional frequently oversees the activities (often in conjunction with a horse professional), and helps patients process their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns during and/or after the interaction.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma informed care enables them to identify a person’s current situation and actions as a result of past negative events, while allowing us to see the potential for that individual to recover. One of the most difficult aspects of incorporating trauma informed care as a framework involves removing the stigma of substance abuse and inappropriate behaviors that are related to it. Trauma informed care allows them to recognize many of these behaviors as learned mechanisms for survival. Therefore, incorporating changes in our understanding of behavior is vital to recovery from a trauma informed care perspective.

Couples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Family Therapy

Family involvement is a vital component of long lasting recovery. Family members and significant others are provided educational and counseling services during family sessions with clinical staff. Weekend programming is geared toward family visits and includes family programs for support and education. Family members are encouraged to contact clinical staff for advice and assistance about particular aspects of treatment.

Life Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Recreational Therapy

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

Experiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy

Two nicotine replacement therapy medicines have been approved by the FDA. Bupropion decreases cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Varenicline reduces the urge to smoke and the enjoyment you get from cigarettes. Nonprescription therapies include gum, patches, and lozenges.

Treatment was good, but not all that was promised. (they were "understaffed") The main complaint is that they require room and board full payment for 40 days up front and promise to reimburse you for any unused days. This has not been the case and after 10 weeks of the run ... Read More

Silvermist changed my life in so many ways! The therapists, Behavioral techs, nurses and the entire staff are absolutely amazing! Every single person that works at Silvermist truly cares about the guys who are there to better their lives! The property is breathe taking, the food is top notch, the atmosphere and community is inviting and relaxing. I have come such a long way in 30 short days. I was broken when I got to Silvermist, but after leaving, I am in such a better mental state than I ve even been in before. Don t get me wrong, you have to be willing and able to put in the hard work day in and day out and challenge yourself. But if you do, there is no reason why you can t turn your entire life around and be set up for success when you leave. Wether you struggle with alcohol, substance, mental health or a combination of the three, Silvermist will give you the tools and confidence to lead a sober and mentally stable life! I can t thank the entire Silvermist staff enough for their help, love and support!

I would like to take this opportunity to say this place truly saved my life in so many ways. When I first came to this facility I was in no shape or form to learn or talk. I was just downright miserable to even be here. Amazingly in a matter of 2 weeks of being challenged and triggered to finally talk that s when things took a positive change. I opened up in a way I never thought possible. I actively shared more in all the groups and took in all the information I could get. You may think yoga is stupid but let me tell ya it s by far a pleasant experience and releases so much stress and tension. Music therapy is quite interesting and puts into perspective a lot of the songs meanings. Bio bed is absolutely fantastic but it isn t for everyone. There s a gym there as a pool. No I didn t get the pool therapy since it was winter time even though my peers dared me to jump in many times lol Key factors is being able to attend AA and NA meeting throughout the week. I highly recommend this as I have not stopped going since I came out of here. It s vitally important in your recovery. All of the staff there are there to help you. You may not like all of them but trust me they ll do whatever they can to help you. All of the therapists there are by far the best out there. I truly can t thank them enough for everything. Aftercare is top notch as well. Let me tell you one thing for sure you ll never go hungry. Hands down if I ever worked in the area I would literally stop here for lunch and dinner everyday because that s how fantastic it is. I m so grateful that I was a resident/patient here. I m also grateful I had the option to extend my stay to a total of 60 days. It was totally worth everything. I m only 2 weeks away from officially being a full year sober and clean for the first time since I was 18. Mind you I m 34 now and this new life/another chance is just on the top of this world. Again this organization/program played a significant role in this. If you are being honest and are willing to admit you are powerless over your addiction/sickness and want to get help i highly highly recommend this rehab to anyone. I can t wait to stop in for a visit and hopefully share my story with other individuals there to help them through the program.Sorry this was so long but from where i started to where im at now i just can t stop talking about here that s how good it is.Must respect and gratefulness,Jason W

I absolutely would not recommend this facility. I regret sending our daughter there. It was recommended to us by her IOP group (same company). First of all, our 18 year old daughter was allowed to smoke cigarettes the entire time. She did this openly and freely . No questions asked. She developed a serious habit. Secondly, this facility is coed. The men and women socialize, smoke together, have therapy together, eat meals together, and attend off site AA meetings and outings together (sitting next to one another in the vehicle). Our vulnerable daughter was basically groomed as far as I m concerned by a much older resident (in his 30 s!), and they were able to engage in inappropriate and unsafe behavior on campus! Additionally, our daughter has relapsed in a very short time as has every friend she made there. The mental health treatment was mediocre at best. They claim to be dual diagnosis, but I beg to differ. Do yourself a favor, and look elsewhere.

I went to Silvermist just looking to get a completion letter to show the courts, I came away 50 days later with so much more! From the first day I felt a sense of caring and compassion that Id never experienced before. From the Behavioral Health Technicians who lead by example and showed me recovery is possible, and the excellent clinical staff with their well taught Acceptance and Commitment Therapy program, I was not only shown a new way of living I was taught the skills to maintain a healthy life.Simply put Silvermist saved my life.

0/10, I would not recommend sending your loved one to this facility. This place is anything but professional. I don t care if your understaff or not, you make it work and do the best to your ability. Example: my loved one and some people were having a fire and talking. NO ONE NOTICED THEY WERE OUTSIDE UNTIL VERY LATE. Imagine, if they snuck out and left, and something happened. How would you explain it to their family members? They had no control what so ever. It sounds like the client/patient were in charge there. That s a HUGE problem. The workers sounded more like friends. Many things went wrong at good ole Silvermist but here is a few. First, there were inappropriate behavior going on. ( I guess that is suppose to help people to the road of recovery). Nothing like taking advantage of vulnerable people at their lowest. Second, the doctors upping someone meds before they leave the place! Next time, read the side effects when you up someone meds to the highest degree. Lastly, people go there to get the help they need, you are suppose to make them feel safe, and let them know there is light at the end of the tunnel. Instead, they just take and take from them until they feel nothing. They took advantage of him and he came out worse than when he went in. You put so much trust in places like this, expecting them to have him on a path to a heathy lifestyle and return to a normal daily life again. In return, they failed and did the complete opposite. It breaks my heart to see him in so much pain and I couldn t do a single thing to help. . Please if your are thinking about sending your loved one here, rethink your decision

This place was an absolute treasure in my recovery process. It was jus the right amount of freedom and structure that allowed me to find the things within myself I needed/need to work on. Insid the groups were well put together and it was very evident that everything was done with care. Outside the groups, and at night were, I feel, the more important aspect because we stand a higher chance of reverting back to our unsafe thinking processes. I seen most AMA take place after office hrs. This is where the techs come in, the BHTs. They really did a great job with all of us, almost always. One helped me more then most n I pray that he stays there for as long as he can, because he saw things in the most accepting and was Always there to talk to no matter what.. so from the bottom of my heart thank you Joe. 8 with we were able to stay in connect afterwards, but we cant, because I considered him a good friend, as did many of the other people I was there with. Love yall, everyone at Silvermist. Ty.
