Treatment for Veterans

Silvermist is proud to have partnered with PsychArmor, a leader in military culture training, to achieve Veteran Ready Certification. This certification highlights our commitment to better serving the unique needs of veterans and active-duty military members. Recognizing that military personnel and veterans have distinct experiences compared to civilians, we provide specialized care tailored to address the emotional, psychological and behavioral challenges they may face. Our staff undergoes PsychArmor training to ensure that we understand military culture and deliver more genuine, supportive connections for veterans, ensuring our therapeutic interventions are both compassionate and effective.

Achieving Veteran Ready Certification means that the team at Silvermist has received advanced training to understand the complexities and challenges that veterans may encounter. Veterans often face unique mental health concerns such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trauma, anxiety and substance use disorders. Through PsychArmor’s training, our team is equipped to approach these issues with a deep understanding of military life, fostering a safe and empathetic environment for veterans in need of mental health support.

The Veteran Ready Certification at Silvermist goes beyond just understanding veterans. We also offer support for military families, recognizing the significant role that family members play in the recovery process. Veterans’ experiences can deeply affect their loved ones, which is why our therapeutic programs include family counseling and support to foster healing within the entire family unit.

Our Veteran Ready program structures treatment plans to address the specific needs of military personnel and veterans. We provide evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing). These therapies are tailored to help veterans process their experiences, cope with trauma and build resilience. Our partnership with PsychArmor ensures that our team not only understands the clinical aspects of mental health but also provides culturally sensitive care that resonates with veterans’ unique life experiences.

By partnering with PsychArmor, Silvermist demonstrates its commitment to offering the highest standard of care for veterans. We understand that effective treatment requires more than just clinical knowledge — it requires genuine connection and understanding. With this certification, our staff is well-prepared to offer veterans a supportive environment that honors their service and meets their mental health needs.

At Silvermist in the Poconos, veterans can trust that their mental health care will be delivered with expertise and compassion. We are honored to serve those who have served our country by providing specialized, culturally informed care through our Veteran Ready Certification. If you or a loved one is a veteran seeking support for mental health or substance use issues, contact Silvermist today to learn more about how we can help.

Silvermist is proud to be a member of the Veterans Affairs Community Care Network (VA-CCN).

The VA-CCN is comprised of facilities that are pre-approved to accept veteran benefits, giving veterans faster and more convenient access to mental health and substance use treatment. The Community Care Network (CCN) uses industry-standard guidelines to administer treatment and quickly pay for services.

A doctor’s referral and authorization from the VA are required to secure funding for treatment through the VA-CCN. One way to obtain these is by visiting your home county VA office to meet with a primary care doctor. Talk to your doctor about getting a referral to access the CCN for residential treatment at Silvermist.

When you’re ready to take the next step in your recovery journey, it can feel overwhelming or frustrating to navigate the VA to access your benefits. If you’re a veteran who needs assistance in accessing the CCN referral process or who is not signed up for VA benefits, contact our admissions team.

We have admissions specialists with expertise in navigating the VA-CCN system, and we have extensive experience in working with veterans, the VA and the CCN. At Silvermist, we make it a priority to get our veterans the treatment they need and deserve.

Unfortunately, not all veterans are eligible for coverage via the VA-CCN. We accept commercial insurance and self-pay.
