About Serenity Inns

Serenity Inns is an alcohol and drug rehab for adult men in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They have residential treatment to help you overcome addiction and learn new life skills for a life long recovery.

Their main program has three levels. In the recovery stage, you’ll start to explore the center and begin your recovery journey. During these first few weeks, you’ll walk the grounds, participate in individual and group counseling sessions and attend peer support meetings. In the next stage, you’ll train and find a local job to build up your teamwork and learn about accountability. The spirit stage is last. It’s designed to nourish your mind, body and spirit. Here, you’ll engage in spiritual practices and look for ways to give back to the community. The whole program is infused with holistic approaches to heal your whole body and soul. Hence their name, serenity.

You can stay at the Inn for up to seven months. When you’re ready to graduate your program, you can move into one of their transitional houses. This way, you’ll continue working on your recovery in a supportive environment.

One former client says this facility is the ideal place to recover from addiction. Another says he’s been through several recovery programs but this one is different and effective.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

sober-living iconSober Living Homes
Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

The goal of drug rehab in Wisconsin is to address drug addiction as a complex issue that involves physical, mental, and relational aspects. During rehab, treatment focuses on each of these areas and gives you the tools you need to achieve and maintain sobriety.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Serenity Inn is the ideal place for recovery from active addiction. Of all the counselors I've encountered in my struggle with addiction, Ms. Ellen and Lionel are the two most caring, dedicated, loving counselors I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. At Serenity Inn you are not just a client you are family. Struggling to maintain your sobriety - no worries because once you become a part of the Serenity Inn family you always have a shoulder to lean on. Of all the treatment centers I've been to over the years Serenity Inn is the best most effective one. Love.

"I've been through rehab several times and none of them is like this place. Serenity has something special going on."--a resident of Serenity Inn, Milwaukee.We have heard this sentiment expressed over and over again as we continue into an eleventh year of hosting men in recovery from alcohol and drug addictions.Places like Serenity are few and far between but need to be replicated over and over again to begin to take seriously the value that quality recovery programs have for the residents and the community.
