Recovery House – Serenity House - Addiction Treatment Services

About Recovery House – Serenity House – Wallingford

Known for its natural beauty and historic sites, Wallingford, Vermont is also home to Recovery House – Serenity House. This rehab has provided detox and residential options for Vermonters battling addiction for almost 50 years. You’ll benefit from a safe, supportive space nestled in the Green Mountains to embrace recovery.

Their programs provide treatment best practices to help you reach your recovery goals. You’ll complete a thorough assessment and work with their team to develop a customized treatment plan with your needs at the forefront.

You can participate in group and individual sessions focused on cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing. They also provide care coordination and community support groups. These approaches can help you develop coping skills and create a solid peer network to support your journey.

What strikes me most is their Public Inebriate Program. This program is for Vermonters in Addison and Rutland Counties who have engaged with the police while intoxicated. You can access a safe space to return to sobriety and discuss potential treatment options.

During this process they provide a screening to determine whether an in-house bed, the hospital or the local jail is the best fit. They even offer treatment referrals if you’re ready to embark on your recovery journey.

Another great feature I noticed was their dedication to serving anyone in need. They’ll never turn someone away who they feel would benefit from treatment. Whether you’re voluntarily attending or court-ordered they ensure you receive appropriate care for your unique needs.

They also provide specialized interventions for pregnant women and individuals who inject substances. You’ll benefit from a supportive environment to gain the tools to sustain recovery regardless of your situation.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

12-Step

12 step programs such as Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous are support group style programs for individuals who are experiencing alcohol or substance use disorder. At Evoke they use a holistic model of addiction care that includes using 12 step programs. These programs are an integral part of most relapse prevention plans and provide continued support and accountability that support sobriety.

24-Hour Clinical Care

24 hour clinical care provides close medical supervision for individuals in the early stages of recovery. Medical professionals monitor individuals around the clock for complications and provide immediate intervention when needed.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
