About Serenity Knolls Treatment Center

Serenity Knolls is a substance abuse treatment center for adults 18 and older in Forest Knolls, California. The facility, situated on 12 acres in the hills of Marin County, offers a serene environment where guests can focus on recovery away from typical everyday distractions. The organization offers residential treatment services and free aftercare services.

I noticed that Serenity Knolls is less than an hour away from San Francisco. When you’ve completed treatment and have time outside of the facility, you can take a day trip to the city to explore the Bay Area. I like that you can enjoy various attractions nearby such as the Golden Gate Bridge.

Personalized Treatment

Serenity Knolls collaborates with guests to design a treatment plan that caters to their needs. Care planning includes therapy and counseling sessions to address the root causes of substance use and work through those issues and past events for lasting sobriety.

Medical Detox in Forest Knolls

For many guests, detox is the scariest part of treatment because of the withdrawal process. I noticed that one tool Serenity Knolls incorporates is medication. It helps to relieve symptoms and reduce cravings for residents experiencing opioid or alcohol addiction.

Staff members monitor guests to ensure they are progressing through the program and remaining safe and comfortable. In addition to therapy sessions, guests attend art therapy to promote creative expression that can help relieve stress.

Discharge planning includes referrals to other programs and community resources for ongoing recovery assistance. As Alumni members, guests have lifetime access to aftercare services in San Francisco and Marin County. The campus offers walking trails, gardens, and other outdoor amenities that promote relaxation, recovery and healing.

Amenities

Private Rehab

Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.

Residential Setting

Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.

Yoga Studio

Treatment centers with a yoga studio offer a special form of holistic therapy during the recovery process. Yoga boosts mindfulness, a sense of calm, and healthy reflection during drug rehab via breathing exercises, stretching, and a progression of specific postures.

Private Rooms

In order to maintain a sense of autonomy, many private rehab facilities offer clients the ability to choose their own private rooms. The privacy and personal space ensure that the recovery process is as comfortable as possible.

Swimming Pool

Swimming increases blood flow to the body and brain, boosts white blood cells, and improves muscle strength, lung capacity, and overall stamina. Drug rehabs with a swimming pool offer physical and mental benefits to complement the recovery process.

Gym

When paired with cognitive-behavioral therapy, exercise can be an effective tool for overcoming addiction. Drug rehabs with a gym offer clients healthy ways to increase energy levels, balance the body’s stress hormone levels, and aid in the brain’s healing process.

Wilderness Setting

Wilderness rehab programs offer all the benefits of a traditional drug rehab, but with the added benefits of outdoor adventure. Venture out into the forest to learn new skills, explore the beauty of nature, and relieve stress. Engaging in wilderness activities is a great way to gain self-discovery and release negative emotions.

Basketball Court

When used as part of an evidence-based treatment plan, basketball can boost physical and mental health, lead to sharper thinking, and facilitate improved self-esteem. Drug rehabs with a basketball court also place a focus on teamwork and cooperation.

Mountain Views

Rehabs that offer mountain views provide beautiful spaces for clients to explore, de-stress, and take part in outdoor or wilderness therapy programs. The mountain surroundings can be a great help to the recovery process, as sobriety may be better achieved while surrounded by a serene setting in nature.

Art Therapy

Art and music are mediums that connect with our feelings, making them a great recovery tool during addiction treatment. Studies show that combining art/music and drug rehab can have a greater therapeutic impact than drug rehab alone, as you’re able to access parts of your brain and body that you may not have access to during traditional talk therapy. Benefits of art/music therapy include lowering stress and anxiety, promoting healthy neurochemicals, and providing stress relief.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Adult Program

An adult program in California uses various therapeutic methods to treat a person who is dependent on an addictive substance. Individuals aged 18 and older are eligible for treatment, which focuses on breaking the cycle of addiction and learning how to maintain sober living.

Alcoholism

Alcohol rehab in California provides professional treatment to guide participants through each step of recovery. Programs offer a support system to walk you through challenges and celebrate victories with you, from detox to long-term sobriety.

Men's Rehab

Gender-specific addiction treatment programs may be more effective in treating men because they focus on unique needs of males. Men’s rehab in California is designed to help men process emotions and cope with stress in a judgment-free environment.

Women's Rehab

Women’s rehab in California provides a safe environment where women can work through addiction challenges surrounded by their gender peers. This often creates an environment that is more conducive to recovery.

Opioid Treatment

For those who are struggling with opioid use disorder, help is available at opioid rehab in California. This complex addiction can be treated through a combination of evidence-based therapies and medication assisted treatment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

When a person is struggling with addiction, their actions and emotions may not be rational. Cognitive behavioral therapy in California helps individuals understand better why they feel and act certain ways and how those emotions and actions can lead to substance abuse.

Drug Rehab

Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT)

Therapists often use rational emotive behavioral therapy in California to treat addiction. The ABC (activating event, beliefs, consequences) framework is used to help participants identify irrational beliefs and reframe their thinking in healthier ways.

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is an integrative, community-based care strategy designed to address the needs of persons with severe and/or complex mental illness or behavioral disorders. ACT is typically provided by a multidisciplinary team of medical and mental health care providers, social workers, therapists, and other specialists, including addiction recovery professionals. These services are frequently provided in the home and community to clients in crisis, those who are clinically unstable, and those who are unable or unwilling to travel to a hospital or clinic for in-person treatment.

Levels of Care

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

When you have a co-occurring disorder, it is essential to treat both your addiction and the mental health disorder. California dual diagnosis treatment provides this type of multidisciplinary approach, for improved recovery outcomes.

Aftercare & Alumni Program

Community support and relationship-building are key elements of aftercare rehab in California. You’ll receive recovery coaching, social support, and mentors to help you maintain sobriety after completing initial rehab treatment. This support will continue as long as you need it, which could be weeks or more than a year.

Inpatient Rehab

Unlike outpatient drug rehab, clients receiving inpatient rehab in California reside at the facility for the duration of the program. The length of stay may range from two weeks to 18 months or more, depending on the client's needs and the program’s design.

Detox & MAT

When you enter drug rehab in California, detox is the first step towards becoming drug-free. The detox process includes 24/7 monitoring and medical care and may include the use of medications to ease withdrawal symptoms.

Drug & Alcohol Intervention

Intervention services in California provide the support you need to encourage a loved one to make wise recovery decisions. Professionals will help you work with your loved one to develop an intervention plan and get him or her started on their recovery journey.
