About Serenity Treatment Center – Baton Rouge – Baton Rouge

Serenity Treatment Center – Baton Rouge is a residential drug and alcohol rehab center that offers inpatient and intensive outpatient treatment for those experiencing addiction. You can find them in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Their inpatient option lasts for 30 days and offers the highest level of support and care. They recommend this as the first step in your recovery journey. Once you’ve completed this program and are more stable in your sobriety then you have the option to join their intensive outpatient program (IOP).

This gives you the freedom and flexibility of your regular life, with the high level of support from your therapist, counselors and peers. You can also join the IOP if you want to begin your sobriety journey but are unable to commit to the 30 days required for residential treatment.

Their residential program aims to heal your mind, body and soul. It includes individual and family therapy, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), group discussions and therapy sessions, the 12-step program and nutrition therapy.

Here, they don’t believe that a single program can work for everyone, so they go out of their way to tailor your treatment plan to meet your unique needs. They view addiction as an incredibly complex disorder and they approach healing from multiple angles to give you the best chance of remaining sober once you’ve completed the program.

That being said, most treatment plans are based on evidence-based therapies and the 12-step program. Serenity Treatment Center focuses on these two aspects because they cover the mental and spiritual side of healing. If you’d prefer to go through the program without engaging in the spiritual side of things then they’re happy to accommodate you and will adjust your program without question.

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.

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.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

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.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

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.
