Serenity Grove takes a whole-person approach to treating addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions, combining evidence-based care with holistic therapies that meet each client exactly where they are. Every treatment plan is thoughtfully tailored—whether someone is in residential care, a partial hospitalization program (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), or starting with detox.

Learn Tools to Handle Life’s Curveballs

At Serenity Grove, treatment goes deeper than just checking boxes—it’s about really knowing each person and what they need to thrive. Their team weaves together science-backed therapies with things that ground clients, like yoga, meditative therapy, and life skills coaching. They’re helping people rebuild from the inside out, whether that means managing anxiety, repairing family relationships, or learning how to handle life’s curveballs.

Reconnect with Self in Peaceful Surroundings

On a quiet, private 4-acre campus in Athens, Georgia, the setting offers a peaceful escape from the noise of everyday life. Clients can choose cozy, comfortable private or semi-private rooms that give them the space to rest. The grounds are dotted with nature trails and quiet meditation spots—perfect for finding calm and breathing deeply.

Prevent Relapse with Ongoing Guidance

Finishing treatment is a huge step, but stepping back into everyday life—with its stresses and old routines—can feel overwhelming. With ongoing support from case managers, clients have someone walking alongside them for months or years. And when tough moments come, clients know exactly where to turn for immediate, compassionate help.

Care Options

Levels of Care

Substance use and mental health issues can occur simultaneously or as primary conditions. Effective treatment explores how mental health conditions contribute to addiction, and vice-versa. Many rehabs treat substance use disorders and mental health conditions with personalized care plans.
Included
Detox
Typically the initial stage of treatment for substance use, focusing on medically supervised management of withdrawal symptoms.
Included
Residential
Residential programs for substance use and mental health with structured care and 24/7 monitoring. Treatment takes place on-site, with behavioral health professionals often providing care in group, individual, and family settings.
Not included
Sober Living
Not Offered at This Center
Transitional housing designed to support individuals recovering from substance use disorders offering a safe, supportive and structured environment for practicing long-term sobriety, while reintegrating back into daily living.
Included
Intensive Outpatient Program
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) falls between inpatient care and traditional outpatient services, with therapy and skills-building activities designed to support recovery and provide flexibility. IOP is ideal for those needing support but not the 24/7 care of a residential facility.
Included
Outpatient
Outpatient treatment offers flexible therapeutic and medical care without the need to stay overnight in a hospital or inpatient facility. Outpatient care typically offers a range of therapies and medical interventions individuals can attend alongside daily life.
Not included
Virtual Care
Not Offered at This Center
Therapy and treatment delivered online through video sessions, messaging, or phone calls, so you can get care from anywhere, on a schedule that works for you.
Not included
In-Home Care
Not Offered at This Center
Clinicians come to you, providing treatment and support in the privacy and comfort of your own home.
Included
Licensed Primary Mental Health
Some primary care providers offer mental health diagnosis and treatment. This can prevent patients from developing more serious conditions.
Included
Co-Occurring Disorders
Substance use and mental health can occur simultaneously as co-occurring disorders. Treatment for co-occurring disorders involves therapy and other personalized interventions to address both conditions.
