About North County Serenity House
You’ll find North County Serenity House in Escondido, California, just 30 miles outside of San Diego. Established in 1966, this organization provides residential programs and withdrawal management for women battling addiction, mental health conditions, and other life challenges.
Targeted Care for Pregnant Women and Mothers
Their 114 bed facility provides a safe space to hone in on recovery away from distractions. One thing that caught my eye was that they welcome expectant mothers as well as women with children. You and your family can receive ongoing support, including parenting education, family therapy, and family activities. They also offer child development and perinatal resources.
Inclusive Atmosphere
Another great feature I noticed was their dedication to inclusive care. Since 2014, they’ve partnered with HealthRIGHT 360 to offer anti stigmatizing, trauma informed, and gender responsive approaches. You’ll benefit from a welcoming environment with professionals who respect and understand your unique situation.
Assistance Animals
I also think it’s great that they accept clients with assistance animals. They ensure you feel as comfortable as possible, welcoming emotional support and service animals in every program.
Holistic Care
Their holistic approach also stood out to me. You can access comprehensive support that addresses multiple recovery aspects. They offer ongoing care to meet your emotional, vocational, health, educational and family needs. They even provide legal assistance. That way, you can build a strong foundation for recovery.
Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)
I think their MAT program seems beneficial. With MAT, you can address the physical and psychological effects of quitting substances. They prescribe FDA approved medications, such as Suboxone and Vivitrol, to alleviate cravings and withdrawal symptoms. You’ll also participate in behavioral therapies and other support to get to the root of addiction.
