US-based psychiatric hospital Silver Hill Hospital has acquired Freedom Institute to expand its mental health and substance use treatment services to New York City.
The expansion plans date back to March 2023, when Silver Hill Hospital assumed leadership of Freedom Institute in midtown Manhattan.
Following the acquisition, Freedom Institute will operate as Silver Hill New York, offering a tailored intensive outpatient programme for patients with multiple co-occurring diagnoses and impaired personality function.
The programme allows patients to receive intensive treatment with no disruption to their daily lives, aiming to empower them towards sustainable recovery and long-term success.
Silver Hill Hospital president and medical director Andrew Gerber said: “Bringing the expertise of these institutions together reflects our dedication to offering Silver Hill’s top-tier mental health and addiction services to patients in NYC.
“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.”

By GlobalDataSilver Hill New York works with patients and existing mental health providers to develop customised treatment plans.
Each treatment plan begins with a two-week assessment period led by a team of five psychiatrists, who aim to understand patients’ unique needs and establish foundations for personalised care.
The multi-disciplinary approach at Silver Hill New York integrates various evidence-based treatment modalities, including dialectical behavioural therapy, mentalisation-based therapy and integrative harm reduction psychotherapy.
The outpatient programme offers individual and group therapy sessions, as well as family therapy, crisis management, case management and 24-hour professional support.
Silver Hill New York programme director Lindsay Dow said: “Contemporary mental health treatment requires sophisticated approaches for complex patients with multiple diagnoses.
“Our programme addresses the full spectrum of our patients’ needs through coordinated and targeted treatment plans that consider every aspect of their wellbeing.”
