Program Length

30 days

Focus

This center primarily treats substance use disorders, helping you stabilize, create relapse-prevention plans, and connect to compassionate support.

Located in Brooklyn, New York, the center helps women recover from substance use while giving them a second chance at life. The program treats addiction and related challenges through long-term residential care. Most clients come from the justice system, making it a strong alternative to jail. Its standout feature is the use of the trusted therapeutic community model. Serendipity II uses group therapy, individual counseling, and life skills training to help women rebuild their lives. Therapists—many of whom are in recovery themselves—serve as both counselors and role models. The program focuses on peer support, behavior change, and personal growth in a safe and structured environment. Women live together in a shared home where they support one another through daily routines and recovery work. They share meals, join group activities, and have space for personal reflection. The program includes on-site classes and job training to help clients prepare for life after treatment.
