About Serenity Behavioral Health

The Serenity Behavioral Health offers outpatient treatment for co-occurring mental health and substance use issues in Washington, Georgia. They are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), and they accept military insurance, Medicaid and other state financed health plans. Payment assistance and a sliding fee scale may also be available to those who qualify.

MAT and the Matrix Model

With a goal to always make treatment accessible, their comprehensive care team of counselors, nurses, nurse practitioners, and psychiatrists work in collaboration to develop individualized care plans. Clients can receive medication assisted treatment (MAT) to help with their recovery.

Medication will be provided to decrease your cravings and withdrawal symptoms, allowing you to focus more on the treatment you receive counseling. An emphasis is placed on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution focused therapy.

You’ll receive assistance identifying your triggers and coming up with health coping mechanisms. Under the Matrix Model, 12 step facilitation and motivational interviewing are employed as well.

Services for All Ages

I like that they meet people where they are without judgement. Services are designed for all ages, from adults and young adults to children, adolescents, and seniors.

They operate a crisis stabilization unit, with 16 beds available for psychiatric stabilization and detox. They also offer Community Support Services such as Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH), which is funded through grants.

I noticed that Serenity Behavioral Health is conveniently located about an hour outside of Augusta. When you’re able to spend more time doing sober activities, you can take a day trip to the city and enjoy the sights of the Augusta Riverwalk.

For those who are underinsured or uninsured, paying the total cost of a rehab program up front is not feasible.

You can choose a finance package that lets you start treatment immediately and pay for it later.
