About Serenity Treatment Center – Baton Rouge
Serenity Treatment Center – Baton Rouge is a residential drug and alcohol rehab center that offers inpatient and intensive outpatient treatment for those experiencing addiction. You can find them in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Their inpatient option lasts for 30 days and offers the highest level of support and care. They recommend this as the first step in your recovery journey. Once you’ve completed this program and are more stable in your sobriety then you have the option to join their intensive outpatient program (IOP).
This gives you the freedom and flexibility of your regular life, with the high level of support from your therapist, counselors and peers. You can also join the IOP if you want to begin your sobriety journey but are unable to commit to the 30 days required for residential treatment.
Their residential program aims to heal your mind, body and soul. It includes individual and family therapy, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), group discussions and therapy sessions, the 12-step program and nutrition therapy.
Here, they don’t believe that a single program can work for everyone, so they go out of their way to tailor your treatment plan to meet your unique needs. They view addiction as an incredibly complex disorder and they approach healing from multiple angles to give you the best chance of remaining sober once you’ve completed the program.
That being said, most treatment plans are based on evidence-based therapies and the 12-step program. Serenity Treatment Center focuses on these two aspects because they cover the mental and spiritual side of healing. If you’d prefer to go through the program without engaging in the spiritual side of things then they’re happy to accommodate you and will adjust your program without question.

Levels of Care
Outpatient
Clients enrolled in outpatient rehab typically need less intensive supervision and support than those in inpatient care. Clients may continue to work and attend school while participating in addiction counseling and recovery education during the evening, night, or weekend. Clients also often enter intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment immediately upon exiting residential care, which provides them with high-level step-down support as they reintegrate into their homes and communities.
Inpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements. Their 30 day residential stay that targets the addiction to drug and alcohol and a solution to families that must recover together.
Intensive Outpatient
The Intensive Outpatient Program includes educating clients on the disease concept of addiction; identifying psychosocial stressors that lead to substance abuse; treating the addiction following the 12-step model and Recovery Dynamics; and providing relapse prevention and life skills training. The Intensive Outpatient Program typically lasts four (4) to twelve (12) weeks meeting 3 times a week. IOP has a day as well as a night program to aoccomdate most schedules. The day program meets MTW 9am to 12pm and the night program meets MTW 5pm to 8pm.
12-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).
24-Hour Clinical Care
Initial phases of rehab treatment often require 24-hour clinical care in Louisiana. This supervised treatment offers three main benefits. Medical staff can provide medications to treat withdrawal. Clients can also benefit from having 24-hour nursing staff available to treat any other physical symptoms. Lastly, this setting ensures that professionals are constantly available to address any emotional or mental health issues related to the addiction or co-occurring disorders.
Medically Assisted Detox
The first step in the addiction recovery process involves flushing all addictive drugs and alcohol from your body while under 24/7 medical supervision. Known as a medically assisted detox, this level of care takes into account that quitting your drug of choice cold turkey can be very dangerous once you've become physically dependent. In a medical detox, your team of medical professionals helps to ensure your safety and comfort. Most people transition to an inpatient treatment or maintenance program upon completion.

Treatment
Alcoholism
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.
Drug Addiction
While each drug rehab in Louisiana offers unique elements, recovery support often follows a similar pattern. Detox is followed by inpatient and/or outpatient care, then aftercare support is provided once the participant completes the initial program.
Substance Abuse
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.

Individual Therapy
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Nutrition Therapy
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet.
