Former Client

I’m sharing my full experience at Serenity Detox / Serenity at Summit (Harmony Recovery Group) so others can make an informed decision before choosing treatment here.During my stay, I experienced and witnessed multiple issues that raised serious concerns about safety, staffing, medication management, communication, and overall quality of care.• Medication errors were frequent and unsafe. I personally experienced more than a dozen medication mix‑ups. I also found medications dropped on the floor inside the nurses’ station multiple times.• Medication delivery was unreliable. We were often at the mercy of the pharmacy, and it took multiple days for medications to arrive. This created unnecessary gaps in treatment and increased anxiety for patients who depended on timely dosing.• Severe staffing shortages affected basic care. Some days medications were administered at 8 a.m., other days not until 10 a.m. There were days when a single nurse was responsible for two separate floors and had to handle an intake at the same time. This led to long delays in receiving medication, including during moments of anxiety when timely care was essential.• Food quality and basic amenities declined during my stay. Desserts were discontinued two weeks into treatment. Snacks and coffee were often unavailable. Fruit was only offered occasionally at breakfast. These changes appeared to be part of ongoing financial cutbacks.• Some employees were confrontational and lacked compassion. Communication betw
