A Focused Path to Recovery
Serenity Park offers a focused and structured continuum of care designed specifically for men. Each stage of treatment builds upon the last, providing the necessary tools and support to transition from active addiction to a life of purpose and sobriety.
Program Length: 3-5 Days
The first step for many clients, medical detox provides 24/7 medical supervision to manage withdrawal symptoms safely and comfortably. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) may be used to ease the process and prepare clients for the next phase of recovery.
Daily Schedule: 6 hours of programming per day
The core of the program is an intensive, 60-day (minimum) residential stay. Clients live on a structured, closed campus and engage in daily individual therapy, group sessions, 12-Step work, and holistic activities. This immersive approach helps build a strong foundation for sobriety.
Upon completion of the residential program, clients work with a discharge planner to create a robust aftercare plan. This includes access to a weekly alumni aftercare group (held remotely via Zoom) and referrals to their halfway house services (available for both men and women in separate housing) for a supportive transition back into daily life.
