28 days is a short time in which to reverse years or even sometimes decades of substance abuse. Our clients start an activity filled program of group process, individual counseling, educational films, reading, writing, 12 step meetings and recreation. Our program is based on the Principles of Alcoholics Anonymous with emphasis placed on the 12 steps of recovery. We attempt to determine the deep seated reasons for our drinking and using and an individual treatment plan is developed for each person.
The purpose of your stay at Serenity Knolls is not simply to have you leave not drinking or using, but to provide you with a solid base and an individual program with which you can maintain your sobriety. We allow time and space away from your old environment, where you can take a good look at what's been happening in your life so you can better understand the rewards of your successful new start.
We have come to understand, through years of experience, that it is necessary to address any underlying psychological issues at the same time we treat the illness of addiction. This acknowledgement of the dual diagnosis component is a key to a arriving at a positive solution when unraveling the complex disease of alcoholism and drug dependency.
