Serenity Recovery

Serenity Recovery of Western Kentucky, Inc. is a 12-month non-residential recovery program designed to help addicts and alcoholics begin a life of recovery and empower them with the tools necessary to maintain sobriety. Our mission is to offer a safe and structured environment while also providing the connection, love, and accountability that one needs to achieve and maintain sobriety.

Serenity Recovery Program Highlights

Serenity Recovery Support Meetings

The three weekly mandatory meetings of Serenity Recovery have specific focuses and/or requirements:

Tuesday Meeting: Big Book Study/Workbook Meeting—discuss assigned lesson for the week.
Thursday Meeting: Topic Meeting—discuss a specific recovery topic.
Monday Meeting: Speaker Meeting—listen to recovery speakers share their experience, strength, and hope or our Monthly Commencement Ceremony.

Participants will also have regular one-on-one support meetings with licensed peer support specialists.

Participants will complete four weeks of aftercare planning before commencing the program.

Program Highlights

Participants will obtain a sponsor and work the 12-Steps with that sponsor.

Participants will be offered service work and volunteer opportunities to get them engaged in the community.

Participants will be given all appropriate and necessary literature at their intake and will complete studies, workbook assignments, and actively participate in meetings.

Participants will become involved with the recovery community. Our goal is to foster a sense of belonging through support and fellowship.

Participants will be encouraged to carry the message to those that are still suffering.

Laboratory Drug Screening

Participants will undergo supervised, random, and often (three times monthly minimum) drug testing.

Testing is done through Gravity Diagnostics Laboratory. Serenity Recovery has full time employee of Gravity Diagnostics that will order, administer, and supervise all testing.
In the event a client does not have insurance or Medicaid, they will be enrolled in the appropriate program immediately following their assessment interview to cover the cost of drug testing. In the event insurance cannot be secured, drug testing costs are to be paid for by the client.

Serenity Recovery Alumni

I commenced from the Serenity Recovery program on July 31, 2022. A lot has changed over the past year. I had been in active addiction since I was sixteen; so it's safe to say I had been an addict my entire adult life. When I was first coming into Serenity, I was afraid; afraid of the unknown and what my future held.. but something had to give so I chose to dive-in head first. I said to myself "today, I will be a part of" and I haven't looked back since. Week after week, I came in with a smile on my face and hope in my heart. I immediately got a sponsor and worked the steps, as suggested, and that is when the real magic happened. I suddenly wasn't afraid anymore. I found the relief I craved and I was ready to share the message with the next struggling addict. Today, I facilitate a step-study workbook group at Serenity and I also sponsor other women in the program. My entire life has changed and I'm forever grateful to Serenity for laying out a path with a simple kit of spiritual tools for me to pick up and use, if I chose. I play a part in my life today rather than just existing; and I have Serenity to thank for holding me accountable and loving me until I could love myself again.
