STR Behavioral Health Opens Primary Mental Health Services at Silver Pines as a Dually Licensed Facility in Pennsylvania

BRENTWOOD, Tenn., June 11, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Odyssey Behavioral Healthcare, a leading provider of addiction, mental health, and eating disorder treatment, is proud to announce that STR Behavioral Health is expanding access to mental health services with its Silver Pines location becoming dually licensed to treat primary mental health and substance use disorders. Silver Pines has a strong reputation for expertise in primary addiction treatment services, and this service expansion reinforces STR Behavioral Health’s commitment to addressing the unmet need for high-quality mental health care in the region.

According to recent data from the National Alliance on Mental Illness, in Pennsylvania:

• Nearly 20% of adults have a mental health condition, with 39.8% of adults reporting symptoms of anxiety or depression.
• 447,000 adults have a serious mental illness.
• 25.7% reporting mental health symptoms were unable to get needed therapy.

“Pennsylvania’s need for superior mental health and addiction treatment services continues to rise,” said Richard Clark, CEO of Odyssey. “This service expansion at Silver Pines underscores our commitment to addressing complex mental health needs of our clients through accessible, high-quality, evidence-based care.”

Silver Pines now offers a dedicated eight-bed unit for clients needing residential mental health treatment. These beds integrate into its personalized and intimate client care setting for addiction treatment and address the higher prevalence of individuals who also have a co-occurring mental health disorder. 

Over the past two years, STR Behavioral Health has continued to address the region’s treatment gap by expanding its outpatient service network, which treats mental health, addiction, and dual diagnosis conditions. Additionally, its Cedar Creek campus, a 30-bed mental health residential treatment facility, is scheduled to open this summer to further address the mental health needs that are largely unavailable in the region.
