BRENTWOOD, Tenn. (Feb. 6, 2024) — Odyssey Behavioral Healthcare (“Odyssey”), a leading provider of mental health, substance use, and eating disorder treatment, today unveiled the rebranding of CIVIQ Health, the parent company of Silver Pines and Steps to Recovery, as STR Behavioral Health. The branding update showcases the organization’s expansion into mental health programming and new facility openings, built on its reputation as a leading regional provider of clinically recognized substance use disorder treatment.

According to recent data from the National Alliance on Mental Illness and OpenData PA:

• In Pennsylvania, 447,000 adults have a serious mental illness.
• Among Pennsylvanians reporting mental health symptoms, 7% were unable to get needed therapy.
• In the past 5 years, Pennsylvania emergency rooms saw nearly 50,000 visits for opioid overdoses.
• In 2022, 3,018 Pennsylvanians died from accidental and undetermined overdoses.

“Addiction and mental health treatment services in the broader Pennsylvania region continue to experience unmet demand, and Silver Pines and Steps to Recovery have expanded services and opened new locations to address this need,” said Richard Clark, CEO of Odyssey. “Their branding now embodies who they are today, an integrated behavioral health treatment network, and aligns with their trajectory of being the region’s premier treatment provider.”

STR Behavioral Health has demonstrated its commitment to bridging the treatment gap in the region by expanding its network and adding essential services, including:

• Expanding Silver Pines in 2022 with 35 additional beds for detoxification and residential substance use treatment
• Opening a new outpatient location in Lehigh Valley in 2023 to treat mental health and substance use disorders
• Obtaining dual licensing in 2023 at its Bucks County location to treat both primary mental health and primary substance use disorders
• Expanding Silver Pines’ services for veterans and first responders, including approval as a VA Community Care Network provider and certification as a PsychArmor Veteran-Ready Healthcare Organization

This year, STR Behavioral Health will continue to build on its reputation as a leading mental health and substance use treatment network by:

• Opening a new residential mental health treatment facility in eastern Pennsylvania in the coming months
• Expanding Silver Pines’ treatment capabilities as a dually licensed facility treating both primary substance use disorders and mental health conditions
• Opening its third dually licensed outpatient location in southeastern Pennsylvania
• Establishing dedicated mental health supportive housing at its Bucks County outpatient location
• Securing a new in-network agreement with Optum to become an accessible, veteran-ready location

“Our branding story reflects who we are as an organization: a caring, inclusive team of experts dedicated to providing the best clinical care for as many people as possible,” said Cory Cooper, CEO of STR Behavioral Health. “Taking on the name of STR Behavioral Health has been a very personal decision for us. It accurately describes who we are today and our mission of offering treatment options that are largely unmet in the Northeast.”
