About Serenity Springs Recovery Center
Serenity Springs Recovery Center is a men's-only, dual-accredited, dual-diagnosis rehab specializing in the 12-Steps while incorporating up-to-date clinical and medical services. They offer residential, PHP (Day Treatment), and IOP (intensive outpatient) levels of care on a 38-acre campus. Residential treatment takes place in a private “spiritual sanctuary” in Edgewater, Florida. Spirituality is at the heart of Serenity Springs. Clients begin the day with daily meditation, emotional review, and the development of a relationship with a Higher Power. Healing is structured through a 12-Step foundation of recovery. Serenity Springs Recovery focuses on healing the mind, body, and spirit through a variety of therapies, like eye-movement therapy (EMDR), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), adventure therapy, and life skills. They’re committed to providing the best possible outcomes for each client, through a high level of support and a 2:1 client-to-staff ratio.
Serenity Springs has water gardens for meditation, a 3-acre lake used for kayaking and fishing, a mile-long walking path around the property, a driving range, and a 700 sq/ft fitness center. Amenities include a full gym for working out, 2 ponds for bass fishing, and a basketball court and driving range. The gym is where yoga, karate, and boxing sessions are led by Serenity Spring’s own nationally certified personal trainer. Nutrition is also an important part of the healing process, which is why they provide gourmet, healthy meals for clients. Off-campus outings and meetings are part of their regular programming, and an acupuncturist comes to campus every week. Serenity Springs was founded in 2011 and is accredited by the Joint Commission. They accept most private insurance.

Who We Treat
Therapies
1-on-1 Counseling
Patient and therapist meet 1-on-1 to work through difficult emotions and behavioral challenges in a personal, private setting.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
This cognitive behavioral therapy teaches patients to accept challenging feelings and make the appropriate changes to reach personal goals.
Adventure Therapy
This experiential approach uses the physical and emotional challenges of outdoor activities as tools for personal growth.
Experiential Therapy
With this approach, patients heal by doing. Therapists help patients process difficult emotions to speak, using guided activities like art or dance.
Eye Movement Therapy (EMDR)
Lateral, guided eye movements help reduce the emotional reactions of retelling and reprocessing trauma, allowing intense feelings to dissipate.
Family Therapy
Family therapy addresses group dynamics within a family system, with a focus on improving communication and interrupting unhealthy relationship patterns.
Gestalt Therapy
This treatment teaches self-awareness, interrupts negative thought patterns, and gives patients insight into how their environment impacts mental health.
