Silver Hill Hospital

 

READ THE FULL PRESS RELEASE

Silver Hill Hospital, one of the nation’s leading psychiatric hospitals, is thrilled to announce the expansion of its world-class services to New York City with the opening of Silver Hill New York. Following the recent acquisition of Freedom Institute, this new chapter marks an exciting milestone in providing exceptional mental health and substance use treatment right in the heart of Midtown Manhattan.

A Customized Approach to Intensive Outpatient Care

Silver Hill New York’s Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is designed for individuals with complex mental health and/or substance use needs, including those managing multiple diagnoses and challenges with personality function. Unlike one-size-fits-all solutions, this program empowers patients to maintain their daily roles and routines while accessing highly personalized and intensive care.

Every aspect of the program is built with the patient in mind, fostering a sense of self, promoting sustainable recovery, and supporting long-term success. Whether patients receive all their care through Silver Hill New York or partner with their existing mental health providers, the program offers seamless collaboration to enhance their treatment journey. Families are also deeply involved in the process, ensuring a comprehensive support system for each patient.

 

 

How it Works: A Tailored Path to Wellness

The journey begins with an in-depth two-week assessment period led by five psychiatrists. This comprehensive evaluation identifies each patient’s unique needs and underlying conditions, forming the foundation for a customized treatment plan.

Silver Hill New York’s multi-disciplinary approach integrates leading evidence-based therapies, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT), Good Psychiatric Management (GPM), and Integrative Harm Reduction Psychotherapy (IHRP). These therapies are delivered through individual sessions, group therapy, family therapy, and 24/7 access to professional support.

“Contemporary mental health treatment requires sophisticated approaches for complex patients with multiple diagnoses,” says Lindsay Dow, Program Director at Silver Hill New York. “Our program is designed to address the full spectrum of needs through targeted and coordinated care plans that consider every aspect of a patient’s well-being.” 

 

 

A Team of Global Experts

At the core of Silver Hill New York’s program is a team of internationally recognized experts in mental health treatment. Key contributors include:

  • Anthony Bateman, co-developer of Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT) from the Anna Freud Center and University College London.

  • Lois Choi-Kain, MD, co-developer of Good Psychiatric Management (GPM) from Harvard-McLean.

  • Andrew Tatarsky, PhD, developer of Integrative Harm Reduction Psychotherapy (IHRP).

 

 

Care Beyond the Ordinary

What sets Silver Hill New York apart is its commitment to exceptional care that goes beyond traditional models. By collaborating with existing treatment teams and integrating family members into the process, patients receive holistic support tailored to their lives. As Andrew J. Gerber, MD, PhD, President and Medical Director of Silver Hill Hospital, explains:

“Exceptional care extends far beyond brief appointments and cookie-cutter programs that treat all patients the same. By involving a patient’s existing treatment team and collaborating closely with families, our patients receive the ongoing support they need without disrupting the daily rhythms that help them stay active and engaged in their lives.”
