About Serenity Recovery

Serenity Recovery is an ASAM level 3.5 facility and treats substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders in a residential setting. Located in a quiet neighborhood by the American River, Serenity Recovery offers a serene space to start laying the foundation for long-term recovery. Their staff are trauma-informed and use a harm reduction model while delivering expert care.
The center emphasizes good sleep hygiene and works with individuals to ensure restful sleep while in treatment. They use a combination of 1-on-1, group, and family therapy sessions, using evidence-based therapies like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to enhance motivation to change, build skills for recovery, and identify negative thought patterns contributing to substance use. Serenity Recovery also offers substance use and trauma-focused yoga and acupuncture services.
The mini-mansion residential home is on 2 acres of land and has an elevator. Clients can unwind between sessions in their private, single bedrooms with a king-sized bed or socialize in the indoor and outdoor common areas. The home has exercise equipment on site and all meals and snacks are provided.
Serenity Recovery continues to support individuals after treatment through their aftercare and alumni services. They hold weekly video meetings for alumni to connect with one another and celebrate milestones or share challenges. When possible and necessary, staff help individuals secure a sober living option after treatment and can help clients connect to an outpatient therapist.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Serenity Recovery provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Understanding Your Treatment Options

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Serenity Recovery offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Serenity Recovery works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
