Serenity Knolls Unverified

Serenity Knolls, located on 12.5 acres of scenic land in the San Francisco Bay Area, provides residential addiction treatment and co-occurring mental health care in a peaceful, private setting. Once a summer camp, the center offers shared bedrooms, family programs, and outdoor activities surrounded by rolling hills and State Park forests. Their treatment approach is rooted in the 12-Step recovery model, including daily 12-Step meetings, education, and ongoing community connections. Serenity Knolls begins with a thorough assessment to create personalized treatment plans. Clients detox under 24/7 medical supervision with access to comfort medications if needed, before transitioning into their Foundation Program, which includes 30 days of residential care with group therapies, individual counseling, and immersive recovery activities.

Clients at Serenity Knolls benefit from evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), and equine therapy in both individual and group settings. Treatment also includes gender-specific groups, psychoeducation, and family therapy options. In addition to treating co-occurring conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, and personality disorders, Serenity Knolls provides psychiatric support and medication management. A unique feature of this California rehab is its lifetime aftercare program, available at no cost after a 30-day stay. This includes weekly meetings, weekend family programs, annual celebrations, and ongoing support to help clients maintain sobriety and long-term recovery.
