Teen substance use often begins with stress, social pressure, or coping with emotions they don’t yet know how to manage.

Our Adolescent Outpatient Program uses evidence-based therapy to address underlying risk factors, strengthen family communication, and support long-term recovery.

If something feels “off” with your teen, trust your instincts — early support makes a difference.

Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose advocacy for justice and compassion continues to shape the way we serve our community.

At Serenity House, we believe access to recovery is not a privilege — it is a pathway to dignity, stability, and restored purpose.

May we all find ways to uplift one another today.

Serenity House exists because one man, Henry Tews, refused to let stigma silence people seeking recovery.

A recovering alcoholic himself, Henry spent 20 years fighting to create a safe place for individuals seeking treatment.

What began as a four-bed cottage is now a 100+ bed residential program serving the entire region.

His legacy lives on in every person who finds hope, stability, and community here.

Addiction doesn’t just affect “certain kinds” of people, it affects everyday families, neighbors, coworkers, and friends.

At Serenity House, we see teachers, parents, students, veterans, and retirees walk through our doors.

Addiction is a health condition, not a personal flaw, and recovery becomes possible the moment support replaces shame.

If you or someone you love needs help, we’re here.

Addiction isn’t always visible, and it doesn’t discriminate. It affects parents, neighbors, coworkers, teens, and retirees.

At Serenity House, we create a safe space where people from all backgrounds can receive judgment-free treatment.

If you or someone you love is struggling, reaching out isn’t a failure — it’s a turning point.

Teen va**ng isn’t “just a phase." Ni****ne exposure during adolescence changes the brain’s reward pathways and increases the likelihood of future substance use disorders (CDC).

Early conversations save lives!

Our Adolescent Outpatient Program helps teens understand risks, build coping skills, and strengthen family communication.

If you’re worried about a teen in your life, call us — early support matters.

Did you know Serenity House offers Drama Therapy, an evidence-based practice proven to help people in recovery build confidence, strengthen communication, and safely explore emotions?

Drama therapy supports:

Many individuals find it easier to “step into” healing when they can step outside their usual patterns.

Creativity opens doors that words alone can’t.
