The Serenity Place Counselling Services - One Day at a Time
We have tailor-made programs that ensure our clients heal, recover and are empowered as follows
The inpatient programme focuses on individuals suffering from substance abuse. This is usually done away from their usual place or work environment. Upon arrival, a drug test is conducted to identify the main substances abused. The person undergoing rehabilitation is referred to as a client. After the drug test, the client is reviewed by a psychiatrist who draws a treatment plan. Treatment is in two stages: withdrawal management and detoxification. The detox stage is delicate and monitored by a qualified doctor and nursing staff.
The client also undergoes counselling to identify underlying issues. Family members participate in therapy sessions to bridge differences caused by substance abuse and plan for the client’s reintegration. The inpatient programme usually runs for a minimum of 90 days.
This programme is for individuals needing treatment or counselling but who do not require residential treatment. Clients can modify their behaviour while remaining in their daily environment with the support of a counsellor and social group. Clients check in as needed. This programme has no fixed timeline as it depends on individual needs.
In this programme, clients have sessions with an addiction counsellor focusing on psychological issues, family issues, lifestyle issues, marriage, relapse prevention, and other factors affecting recovery.
Family members play a key role in recovery. Addiction affects both users and their families. At The Serenity Place, one-on-one sessions with families help them understand addiction and how to support their loved ones while prioritising their own well-being.
