Focus

This center treats substance use disorders and mental health conditions. You'll receive individualized care catered to your unique situation and diagnosis, learn practical skills for recovery, and make new connections in a restorative environment.

Serenity Grove takes a whole-person approach to treating addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions, combining evidence-based care with holistic therapies that meet each client exactly where they are. Every treatment plan is thoughtfully tailored—whether someone is in residential care, a partial hospitalization program (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), or starting with detox. At Serenity Grove, treatment goes deeper than just checking boxes—it’s about really knowing each person and what they need to thrive. Their team weaves together science-backed therapies with things that ground clients, like yoga, meditative therapy, and life skills coaching. They’re helping people rebuild from the inside out, whether that means managing anxiety, repairing family relationships, or learning how to handle life’s curveballs. On a quiet, private 4-acre campus in Athens, Georgia, the setting offers a peaceful escape from the noise of everyday life. Clients can choose cozy, comfortable private or semi-private rooms that give them the space to rest. The grounds are dotted with nature trails and quiet meditation spots—perfect for finding calm and breathing deeply. Finishing treatment is a huge step, but stepping back into everyday life—with its stresses and old routines—can feel overwhelming. With ongoing support from case managers, clients have someone walking alongside them for months or years. And when tough moments come, clients know exactly where to turn for immediate, compassionate help.
