Serenity Knolls is an optimal choice for adult men and women, ages 18 and above, who have been struggling with an addiction to drugs and/or alcohol. At Serenity Knolls, residents receive comprehensive services that have been customized based upon a thorough assessment of their unique strengths, needs, and treatment goals. If a person is also suffering from a co-occurring disorder, those needs will be evaluated and taken into consideration when forming his or her treatment plan as well. Every resident will work in close collaboration with a team of dedicated professionals, many of whom are in recovery themselves. This combination of professional expertise and personal insights allows Serenity Knolls to provide an unparalleled treatment experience that prepares our residents to achieve and maintain long-term recovery.

Our dedication to continued success is also reflected in the lifetime aftercare services that are available to all who complete at least 28 days in treatment with us, as well as to the family members of these alumni. From the day a person first arrives on our campus until long after he or she has completed treatment and returned home, he or she will be a valued member of the Serenity Knolls family and will benefit both from our decades of successful service and from the many contributions that our alumni continue to make to the recovery community.
