Silver Pines Residential Treatment
“I love Silver Pines. I came there as a lost soul — a shell of something I wasn’t sure of. During my stay, I learned more in 30 days than I have in my 23 years of life. I’m so grateful for the staff and the community I was so blessed to be a part of.”
— Grateful Alum

Our Executive Chef, a certified nutritionist, crafts nourishing meals, while a licensed dietitian provides personalized nutritional assessments and meal plans for each client.
Family Program
Our Family Program empowers loved ones with education, intervention, and ongoing support at every stage of recovery. Through family therapy, in-person education, process groups, and virtual support, we help families navigate treatment and prepare for life after.

Art Therapy
Art therapy is a clinically supported approach that uses creative expression to support emotional healing and recovery. Guided by a master’s-level art therapist, clients use various art materials to explore feelings, process trauma, build self-awareness, and manage symptoms related to mental health or substance use disorders. No artistic skill is required — art therapy is about expression, not technique.
At Silver Pines, gender-specific art therapy groups are offered weekly. Each session includes a guided prompt, creative time, and optional group discussion for reflection and connection. Clients can also schedule one-on-one sessions for a more personalized experience. These customized sessions offer a safe, supportive space to explore thoughts and emotions through the creative process
Supporting Our Nation’s Veterans + First Responders
The unique experiences faced by veterans and first responders can deeply impact mental health, often leading to increased vulnerability to substance use as a coping mechanism. Silver Pines is committed to providing clinically advanced, culturally sensitive care tailored to the distinct needs of those who serve our communities.
Lifetime Alum Support + Programming
After leaving Silver Pines, each alum receives regular check-ins, access to support groups and community networks, recovery resources, and opportunities to give back through volunteer work.
“Amazing people. Amazing program. Amazing results. How do I know? Because they helped me. And to this day I feel like part of their family. They loved and nurtured this Texas girl from Florida. I’ve never experienced an alum program with so much dedication and passion.”
