About Behavioral Health Specialists Inc
Behavioral Health Specialists Seekers of Serenity Place provides full residential care for people dealing with chemical dependency, helping them move toward a future without substance use. Treatment typically starts with a medically supervised social detox to address withdrawal safely, then continues with at least 42 hours each week of structured therapeutic programming. SOS prioritizes individualized care based on each person’s specific circumstances and actively promotes family participation to strengthen recovery support.
The center’s model emphasizes customized planning and personal growth, assisting clients in developing a purposeful, addiction-free life. Sessions may include individual, group, and family counseling, plus educational activities and links to 12-step support groups. Through these programs, patients build healthier relationship skills, learn practical relapse-prevention methods, and help educate family members on what recovery involves, supporting long-term progress.
SOS also offers focused options such as structured social detox, which supports both nutrition and mental well-being during withdrawal. The center additionally provides regular family day sessions so loved ones can join treatment activities and gain insight into chemical dependency. A sliding fee scale helps make services affordable, ensuring access for those who need care.
