About Serenity Knolls
Serenity Knolls provides residential treatment for addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. Once a summer camp, their private campus spans 12.5 acres of land, surrounded by state park forests and rolling hills. This serene environment offers shared bedrooms, a range of outdoor activities, and family programs on the weekends. Their treatment program includes detox and residential care, with the option to extend the residential stay. Serenity Knolls notably offers a lifetime of aftercare following a 30-day stay at no additional cost.
Serenity Knolls begins treatment with thorough assessments and health evaluations. These initial assessments identify any family history of addiction or mental health conditions, physical health, and the treatment services that fit each client’s needs. Clients detox under the 24/7 care of Serenity Knolls’ medical doctor, nurses, and clinical technicians if needed. Clients may take prescribed comfort medications for withdrawal symptoms. Serenity Knolls’ Foundation Program provides 30 days of residential care, with daily group therapies and at least one weekly individual therapy session with a licensed psychologist.
Serenity Knolls offers a wide range of evidence-based therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), and equine therapy. These therapies are delivered in both group and individual formats. Clients meet daily with their counselor to review goals, monitor progress, and address challenges. Group therapy at Serenity Knolls includes process groups, psychoeducation groups, and gender-specific groups for men and women. Weekly family therapy is also available upon request.
Serenity Knolls treats several co-occurring mental health conditions, including depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and trauma-related disorders. Their psychiatrist can prescribe medications as needed to support comprehensive treatment. After completing a 30-day stay at Serenity Knolls, clients and their families gain access to a lifetime of aftercare, which includes weekly meetings, weekend programs, annual events, sobriety milestone celebrations, and holiday gatherings.
