About Serenity Mountain Recovery Center
Located on a 21-acre mountain overlook in Waymart, Pennsylvania, Serenity Mountain Recovery Center offers treatment for substance use disorder and dual diagnosis and co-occurring disorders. They’re CARF accredited, and they treat women ages 18 and older.
They accept insurance from many major carriers and will work with your insurance even if it isn’t in network.
There are three programs you can choose from. They offer a partial hospitalization program (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and a regular outpatient program. The PHP is five days a week for five hours per day, while the IOP is 3-5 days per week for 3-5 hours per day. The regular outpatient program is 1-3 days per week for 1-3 hours per day.
All the programs address women’s issues such as partner relationships, general relationships, sexuality, and parenting. A common thread for women with substance use disorder includes growing up in households where sexual, physical, or substance abuse was prevalent. The programs help you recover from these difficult childhood experiences.
They put a special emphasis on sexual health which includes living a life true to yourself. You’ll work on improving your physical, emotional, and mental health for better intimate relationships. They also take pregnant women until their second trimester. Many women are already parents. If that’s the case for you, you’ll have access to parenting classes to strengthen the bond with your child or children.
You’ll have a customized treatment plan depending on the type and severity of your substance use and mental illness. Many people with substance use also have co-occurring disorders such as anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder. One of the most important parts of treating your substance use is identifying any co-occurring disorders. It’s often the mental health issues that drive substance use, so getting any underlying conditions treated makes substance use treatment more effective.
You’ll engage in different treatment options such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), trauma counseling, and group therapy. You’ll learn about and participate in 12 Step groups. There are also optional faith-based groups and holistic therapies such as trauma yoga therapy, music, and art therapy.
According to former clients, the surroundings were quite stunning. The staff was noted as being caring and attentive.

Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
