In the serene foothills of Asheville, Silver Ridge provides a place of rest and renewal for veterans facing the lasting effects of trauma, substance use or emotional distress. Transitioning from military service to civilian life can bring challenges that few outside the uniform truly understand — but here, veterans are never alone.

Project Resilience, our veteran-focused service line, honors the resilience of those who served, providing structure, community and evidence-based treatment in a private, restorative environment. Healing begins when strength meets compassion — and Project Resilience at Silver Ridge is where that connection grows.

For many veterans, coming home means adjusting to a new normal — one that can feel uncertain without the sense of mission and camaraderie the military provides. Addiction or untreated mental health symptoms can make that transition even more difficult, leaving veterans and their families searching for stability.

Project Resilience helps veterans rediscover purpose and connection. Through individualized treatment, holistic therapies and family engagement, our team guides veterans toward recovery that restores balance, peace and belonging.

Military life instills courage, discipline and endurance — yet those same traits can make asking for help feel unnatural. At Project Resilience, we recognize that true strength lies in vulnerability and healing.

Our clinical team blends evidence-based modalities like CBT, EMDR and trauma-informed therapy with holistic wellness practices such as mindfulness and experiential therapy. This combination supports the mind and body, helping veterans process their experiences, manage triggers and rebuild confidence in a safe, supportive setting.
