Serenity Inns Inc. is a comprehensive, seven month transitional living program for homeless men who choose recovery from drug and/or alcohol addictions. This program addresses the physical, social, emotional, financial, and spiritual needs of its residents. It is a highly structured program modeled after a program of recovery within the ministry of Shared Hope in Washington, D.C. - Samaritan Inns - that has been successfully operating for the past 30 years.
Serenity Inns provides a three-phase transitional program for individuals choosing recovery from their addictions. The first phase is Leadership Education Acceptance Program (LEAP). LEAP has proved to be highly effective in preparing individuals to be successful residents in phase two, the transitional living program (TLP). The goal of LEAP is to assist the individual in understanding himself and his addiction, in learning how to deal with that addiction, and in developing a commitment to recovery.
When staff determines that the individual is ready to enter phase two, a final week of LEAP is initiated. During this week, programming focuses on job preparedness, i.e., filling out job applications, participating in mock interviews, and job search "basics", including learning how to market oneself. Once this week is completed, the individual enters phase two. Phase two is the 6-month TLP which places significant emphasis on assisting residents in becoming better managers of their financial resources, learning basic life skills and healthy ways to live an independent life in recovery.
Upon graduating from the TLP, individuals enter phase three - the Independent Living Program. Residents receive assistance in making healthy and safe living arrangements, including furnishing their apartment once they move out. Serenity Inns has always provided follow-up services to graduates of the program.
