    PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
    Silver Hill Hospital provides treatment for adolescents who are struggling with psychiatric, addiction, eating and co-occurring disorders. Adolescents are generally first admitted to the inpatient unit for crisis management and stabilization guiding a teen through a depressive or psychotic episode, stopping a teen from harming him or herself, or dealing with an addiction. A typical day in the adolescent inpatient unit includes educational services, individual meetings and group therapy to address issues such as conflict management, self-esteem and managing emotions. This phase of care is generally covered by insurance. After stabilization, the next phase of treatment is our Transitional Living Program. This program is most appropriate for teens struggling with intense emotions, impulsivity and harmful behaviors, often including self-harm. The core treatment modality for this program is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). DBT is a highly structured form of behavioral therapy that teaches patients the skills necessary to regulate emotions, avoid self-destructive behaviors and improve interpersonal relationships. Patients reside on campus in a house that is staffed 24-hours/day with DBT-trained personnel. Under the guidance of this staff, patients have the opportunity to live the skills and coping strategies they

    learn as they learn them. Most team members are intensively DBT-trained and all participate in a weekly consultation team. The length of stay for this phase of treatment is 4 weeks, and some patients extend their treatment beyond this minimum. This program is self-pay a small portion of the program may be covered by insurance. Our staff will help you determine if you have this benefit.

    TREATMENT INCLUDES:
    Structured 14-hour daily schedule Individual DBT psychotherapy sessions Daily group skills train ing and skills homework review Daily mindfulness meditation groups and DBT skills coaching Psychopharmacology, when clinically indicated Intensive family program Recreational activities

    TREATING EATING DISORDERS


    Both our Inpatient and Transitional Living Programs offer specialty care for adolescents with eating disorders. The patient has a consultation with a dietitian to develop an individualized meal plan, eats therapeutically supervised meals and snacks, and attends groups that address issues specific to eating disorders. Families are also encouraged to attend a weekly Family Forum to learn more about eating disorders, coping skills, communication strategies and related issues.

    TREATING SUBSTANCE USE


    Patients who also require treatment for addiction learn about family dynamics, triggers to drug or alcohol abuse, living sober, relapse prevention, coping with loss and change, how to maintain self-respect, and other key factors in leading a life without drugs or alcohol. Patients also participate in twelve-step meetings.
