Core Programs for Lasting Recovery
Seekers of Serenity Place offers a focused, two-phase approach to addiction treatment. The journey begins with a safe, supervised detox and transitions seamlessly into an intensive residential program designed to build the skills and support network necessary for a sober life.
Typical Length: 5-7 Days
This program provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals to withdraw from substances without medical intervention. Staff are on hand 24/7 to monitor comfort and safety. Clients needing medical detox will be referred to a hospital.
Length of Stay: 30 Days
The core of the treatment experience is a 30-day residential stay. This program is highly structured and incorporates daily 12-Step meetings, group counseling, individual therapy, and life skills education in a secure, substance-free facility.
Environment & Accommodations
Seekers of Serenity Place is housed in a converted nursing home, providing a structured, facility-based environment rather than a home-like setting. The single-story building is organized into wings, containing client rooms, common areas, dining hall, and offices. With a total capacity of 23 clients, the program maintains a close-knit community feel. While the program is co-ed, client rooms are gender-specific to ensure privacy and comfort.
The environment is clinical and structured, located in a single, secure building designed for client safety and program efficiency.

Yes, for the safety and security of our clients, this is a locked facility. While treatment is voluntary and a client could choose to leave, they are not permitted to go outside unsupervised.
Smoking is permitted in designated outdoor areas during breaks. Personal electronics like cell phones and laptops are strictly prohibited to ensure focus on recovery. After a 7-day initial blackout period, you may use the facility's landline for one 10-minute call per day.
Bring: A completed physical form, a 30-day supply of all prescribed medications, 7 changes of comfortable clothing, pajamas, personal hygiene items (alcohol-free), and your insurance card.

Inpatient addiction treatment means you live at the facility full-time, usually for 30–90 days, in a highly structured environment where your day is scheduled with therapy, group sessions, medical care, meals, and downtime; it feels immersive and supportive, but also restrictive since you’re away from home, work, and family. Outpatient treatment, on the other hand, lets you live at home and continue daily life while attending scheduled therapy and support sessions at a clinic several times a week; it feels more flexible and less disruptive, but also requires more self-discipline because you’ll still face your usual triggers and responsibilities outside of treatment.
The campus consists of a single-story building that was formerly a nursing home. It includes client wings with bedrooms and shared bathrooms, a dining hall, group rooms, offices, and designated outdoor areas.
