About Serenity Treatment Center Inc

Serenity Treatment Center is an outpatient addiction treatment provider in Frederick, Maryland, serving adults 18 and over since 2010, with a second location in Hagerstown. They treat substance use disorder, including alcohol and opioid addiction, with individualized plans that combine evidence-based and holistic approaches and emphasize peer community and family involvement. Levels of care include intensive outpatient, traditional outpatient, and level 3.1 low-intensity residential halfway houses, with four houses for men and a recently opened house for women. They are CARF-accredited and accept Medicaid and most major insurance, and transportation to assessments and outpatient sessions is available from select areas in Frederick.

Their IOP meets three hours a day, three to four days a week, with morning and evening groups, and typically lasts around 12 weeks, though length depends on each person’s progress. The 26-week traditional outpatient program meets once or twice weekly in small groups focused on coping, relapse prevention, and life skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy anchors the clinical work, supported by Moral Reconation Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and individual counseling. For opioid and alcohol use disorders, an on-site nurse administers Vivitrol and the Bridge withdrawal device, and staff refer clients to community prescribers for Suboxone and Lucemyra. They also offer state-approved DUI/DWI education with Saturday sessions, drug and alcohol testing, and community support groups that include 12-step meetings and intimate partner violence groups.
