Serenity Acres – 2017 Martins Grant Court

About Serenity Acres – 2017 Martins Grant Court – Crownsville, Maryland

Serenity Acres was a luxury addiction treatment center in Crownsville, Maryland. They were part of Meridian Behavioral Health of Minnesota. The center was the vision of entrepreneur Larry Adler, who saw an opportunity to bring a unique style of addiction treatment to the East Coast. His approach was inspired by a popular model in California, where state laws allow treatment centers to convert residential homes into boutique rehab centers. This model made it possible to bring addiction treatment into suburban neighborhoods.

When Larry Adler started Serenity Acres, it consisted of seven homes. Meridian Behavioral Health bought the center in 2016. In late 2018, they began networking with many major health insurance providers. Meridien officially closed the center in August 2019.

They provided both short- and long-term residential rehab for adults, with separate homes for men and women. Many patients participated in medically supervised detox, which helped them safely manage withdrawal symptoms.

The center emphasized evidence based and personalized therapy options. Their treatment philosophy was that each patient was an individual. They believed recovery was possible through healing of the body, mind, and spirit. Before closing, Serenity Acres was a place where many patients experienced lasting recovery through both traditional therapy and holistic options. Patients seemed to enjoy equine therapy, acupuncture, yoga, and massage while in treatment.

The center was known for its caring staff and supportive atmosphere, with some clients describing it as life-changing. Though some holistic therapies were phased out before the center closed, the personalized care and transformative programs helped many patients achieve long term recovery.
