Silver Hill Hospital Inc

Hospital-Level Stabilization With Step-Down Options

Silver Hill Hospital Inc is an independent, not-for-profit psychiatric hospital in New Canaan, that treats substance use disorders and mental health conditions, including co-occurring disorders. Care spans inpatient, residential, and intensive outpatient programming (IOP), so people can move to a different level of support as needs change. Inpatient services include medical detox and psychiatric stabilization in a structured clinical setting.

Adolescent DBT Program With School And Family Support

For families seeking care for a teen, Silver Hill offers an adolescent program that is separate from adult services. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is described as the cornerstone of treatment in residential and intensive outpatient care, with skills training and coaching focused on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. Treatment planning can include diagnostic assessment with close observation, coordination for school accommodations and tutoring support, and regular family involvement through meetings and DBT family programming. An adolescent IOP option meets after school in a group setting while teens continue living at home.

Integrated Treatment, Medication Support, and Health Services

Treatment includes individual, group, and family counseling, along with medications for addiction treatment (MAT) and medication support for mental health conditions when clinically appropriate. The program also offers assessment and screening, lab testing and monitoring, health education, and tobacco cessation support. Recovery-focused services may include overdose education, naloxone training, discharge planning, and follow-up planning after discharge. Telehealth therapy is also available in the broader service mix.

A Nature-Based Campus With Wellness and Everyday Structure

Silver Hill’s campus is set in a quiet New England landscape designed to support daily structure alongside care. The grounds include walking paths and a labyrinth, with features like the Silvermine River and a pond area. Amenities and wellness offerings may include an indoor pool, gym, library with computer access, and activities such as yoga, meditation, tai chi, acupuncture, massage, and expressive therapies like art and music-based programming.
