We encourage exercise (such as regular trips to the gym, along with many other outdoor activities) which will help calm your mind and emotions, all in the peace and serenity of a mountain setting.
Mission Statement: We are dedicated to treating men who are struggling with alcohol and/or drug addiction. We believe that life is a journey, not a destination. It is in the journey that we discover ourselves, accept who we are, and become whole, loving human beings.
Philosophy: We believe the crux of recovery and life in general is forgiving ourselves for the things we've done and have allowed to happen to us. Our future is determined by what we are doing today and what we are willing to do for a better tomorrow. At Serenity Lodge, we honor where each person is at and move alongside them. If you decide to join us, you are taking your first step towards freedom.
