Silver Ridge 183 Old Turnpike Road, Mills River, NC 28759

"Silver Ridge does offer a respite from the "traditional" idea of inpatient treatment, in that there is no agenda in pushing any particular type of recovery style. I would be well advised of the policies at the specific location before signing on, perhaps having them in writing before arriving. The therapist and counselors are very good at what they do and there is a general sense that employees do want the best for clients."

"This rehab facility is great for people looking for a more holistic approach to their recovery and overall mental health. The hikes were beautiful and the food was great. Therapy was great and so were the groups. You get what you put in to your recovery. We can’t expect anyone to fix us, but we can allow them to give us some tools to help guide us in recovery. These were the tools I needed to help me."

"This is a great treatment facility. The facility and its amenities are top notch and exactly as advertised. The house is an actual mansion with huge bedrooms that are very spacious as well as the bathrooms. The food is very healthy and very very good they’re are actually trained chefs who prepare lunch and dinner. The counselors are first class in every way and lead group sessions and hikes on Saturdays to Waterfalls at National Parks (amazing). The therapeutic approach is one the is based on Science, holistic practices and spirituality that does not discriminate. I would refer anyone who is struggling to come here and get help. You will leave a much healthier and happier person than when you arrived."

"I want to thank the Silver Ridge staff from the Director Ms. Jodie and down for their superb service and diligence in my recovery process. Coming to a new state with challenging issues, and looking to relocate, they were very instrumental in making sure all my needs were met. My exit counselor Ms. Patrice made it her business to take me to my numerous outside appointments and made a great amount of phone calls on my behalf trying to find me housing and funds to offset my indigent finances, my therapist Mr. Travis did an excellent job in reassuring me that everything was ok and went out of his way to try and seek alternative housing for me. The food was outstanding. I truly loved my experience at silver ridge and would recommend it to anyone that’s up for change because they are all tremendous people of support."

"The therapists here are wonderful. I cannot compliment them enough. The program is fantastic if you have an open mind. Like any organization, Silver Ridge could use some polish. The overall feeling is sometimes I was treated like a child. Being this facility is for folks over 35, most of us WANT to be here. The director could definitely make it feel more warm by treating everyone like the adults we are (including staff). Give it a try, I know I would come back, but I hope I don’t have to!"
