Silver Ridge, located in Mills River, North Carolina, takes a unique approach to drug and alcohol rehab by tailoring their programs specifically to established, midlife adults (ages 35 and up) who are struggling with addiction. They understand that seeking addiction help once you have a family, career, and so on, has its own set of challenges. So, Silver Ridge has designed their facility to make getting help as easy and discreet as possible. They offer inpatient services, a solely holistic recovery program, trauma-informed care, dual diagnosis treatment, and more. Their range of services are all fashioned around the specific needs of midlife adults, like identifying what triggers set off addiction in adults and what strategies best serve for recovery in adults.
The Blue Ridge Mountains make a beautiful, peaceful backdrop to receive a variety of different services included at Silver Ridge. If you are looking for a specifically holistic program, they offer equine therapy, mindfulness and meditation, nutritional support, and trauma-sensitive yoga. Their residential program includes a non-12-Step plan with detox, relapse prevention planning, and the previously mentioned holistic activities. It is also important to Silver Ridge to include the patient’s family in the process of recovery, so they provide family therapy to build back strong relationships. They understand that the psychological effects of addiction can change depending on a person’s age, which is why they developed their midlife development model to best help their clients.
