At Serenity House, we view alcoholism (and other substance addictions) as an incurable disease that, left untreated, is almost always fatal (in some form). There is good news! It can be successfully treated. There may be two major components in this process, treatment, and recovery. Serenity House Inc. is not a medical facility; we do not address the treatment component. Our facilities and programs are dedicated to the recovery phase.

We do not define sobriety as just sustained abstinence. Decades of experience have shown the tragic flaw in this reasoning. We believe real sobriety is a state of remission that allows the person to live without the otherwise ever surfacing, mental obsession to escape the day-to-day realities of normal adult life through substance abuse. With the mental obsession relieved, the physical phenomenon of craving is not even an issue. The tools necessary to attain such a state of lasting remission are presented in the 12 step program, used extensively at Serenity House.

Many of our residents come to us sorely lacking in some crucial life skills. We address these deficiencies by augmenting the 12 step spiritual programs with additional formal training.

The corner stone of our recovery process, 12 step meetings, active participation, etc are an absolute requirement at Serenity House Inc. recovery homes.

“Back to Basics” Training

This well known course will quickly guide the participant through all 12 steps. Residents’ knowledge and understanding is enhanced with generous doses of the history of the 12 Step process.

Parenting

We use a nationally recognized parenting skills education program to address what we have seen to be a glaring deficiency in the life skills of every alcoholic/addict.

With the full cooperation and active participation of the resident, this comprehensive program can result in a full, productive life, reasonably happy, and ultimately free from the destruction and chaos of active addiction.
