About Serenity at Summit

Serenity at Summit New England is the Haverhill, Massachusetts, location of Serenity at Summit, a provider of addiction and mental health treatment that also operates a facility in Union, New Jersey. They treat substance use disorders, especially opioid and alcohol dependence, alongside co-occurring conditions such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD, and they view addiction as a chronic medical condition that calls for both medical and therapeutic care. In Haverhill, care includes medically supervised detox with 24/7 monitoring, acute treatment, Clinical Stabilization Services (CSS) as a step down from detox, and residential treatment that typically runs 30 to 90 days. Staff also help clients line up continuing care after their stay, and some past clients have received scholarship help with costs.

Each stay begins with a full clinical assessment, which shapes an individualized plan that is reviewed and adjusted over time. Medication-assisted treatment is built into care, using Suboxone or Subutex during opioid withdrawal, Vivitrol for relapse prevention, and tapered medications and Campral for alcohol dependence. Therapy at the Massachusetts site draws on motivational interviewing, cognitive restructuring, CBT, and trauma-focused work, including EMDR for clients with significant trauma histories. Yoga and meditation support stress management, and families can take part in dedicated support groups and sessions meant to rebuild healthier relationships at home.
