A Full Continuum of Care
Serenity Grove offers a comprehensive range of programs to support clients at every stage of their recovery. From medically supervised detox to flexible outpatient services, each level of care is tailored to the individual, ensuring a seamless and supportive journey toward lasting wellness.
24/7 Medical & Clinical Support
The first step for many, our detox program provides around-the-clock medical supervision to safely manage withdrawal symptoms. We focus on ensuring client comfort and stability, preparing them for the next phase of treatment.
Typical Stay: 30 Days
Our residential program offers an immersive therapeutic experience in a home-like setting. Clients engage in daily individual and group therapy, holistic activities, and life skills training to build a strong foundation for recovery.
Step-Down Levels of Care
