Serenity is a leisurely 3 hour drive North from Manila and nestled among the clouds 5000 feet above sea level. It is an Ideal getaway for the lowlanders who desire to recover in cooler climates, and for families who want a breather from the distress of addiction, at least until their dependents get with the program.

Why People Choose Serenity in The Steps

To name a few...

Led by an Internationally Certified Addiction Counselor III (advanced levels), Junjun Abella, MAC, RGC, NCAC I, RC ICAC III

We tailor fit evidence based approaches like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), MET (Stages of Change), Behavioral and NLP to achieve treatment goals in a client-focused and then client-centered environment.

The program includes not only leading the clients to the road of recovery, but also to train them to become addiction counselors and/or certified recovery coaches. The task of helping others is a way to maintain their own newly found recoveries.

Voluntary treatment programs for alcoholism, gambling and substance use disorders. Such programs depend on client's willingness towards self-healing & recovery.

In the country today, more and more families with drug and alcohol dependents are coming to the realization that they are powerless over the addiction that is controlling the lives of their loved ones. Unlike in the past, families are now slowly seeing the “Person with Addiction (PWA)” as someone who is sick and not as someone who is morally wrong or someone who is. Families are now actively seeking a treatment facility that can help them with their problem. Others desperately try and find assistance through facilities like Serenity to avoid having their Person with Addiction (PWA) incarcerated or put to jail. Moreover, the country itself is facing the real need for certified addiction counselors who are competent in evidence-based approaches like 12-step based programs that address all kinds of addictions like over-eating, gambling, and other obsessive-compulsive disorders.

Our presence assures quality treatment & recovery services for the afflicted, in an environment that cherishes personal dignity and our natural ability to change.
