What to Expect

The First 72-Hour Orientation

At Serenity Hills, our primary goal is to bring healing to individuals and families who have suffered the damage caused by substance use disorder.

We will guide the individual into the most effective program to begin the path to lasting recovery. Our multidisciplinary team of experts will provide a continuum of care plan to meet each individuals' specific needs.

The amount and length of services will also depend on each woman's needs. Upon completion of treatment goals, clients "step-down" to less intensive care.

Our integrated care will incorporate the clients medical, psychological, spiritual, holistic, educational and 12-Step programs.
