Recovery in a Home-Like Setting for Mothers and Children

Serenity Place offers long-term residential care for pregnant women and mothers of young children in Greenville, South Carolina. The program allows up to 16 women to live on-site with up to two children each, creating an environment where recovery and parenting can happen side by side. The facility prioritizes pregnant women with urgent needs and is structured to support both emotional healing and family preservation.

A Family-Centered Model of Care

Women at Serenity Place engage in over 50 hours of structured weekly programming that includes counseling, parenting classes, and life skills training. On-site childcare and early childhood education ensure mothers can stay engaged in their recovery while their children learn and play in a safe, developmentally supportive setting. The program emphasizes family reunification and long-term well-being, helping to reduce barriers that often prevent mothers from seeking treatment.

Integrated, Trauma-Informed Support

The care model is designed for women with complex needs, including histories of trauma, co-occurring mental health disorders, and past involvement with the justice system. Services include individual and group counseling, relapse prevention planning, and access to medications for addiction treatment (MAT), such as buprenorphine and naltrexone. The structured daily schedule is grounded in trauma-informed principles and supports emotional safety, consistency, and healing.

Preparing for Life Beyond Treatment

Most residents stay for several months, with time to build stable routines and reconnect with their children in a supportive space. Discharge planning begins early and includes peer mentoring, recovery housing referrals, and job readiness or vocational support. The program helps mothers leave with tools to support independent living and long-term recovery, whether that means reuniting with children, finding stable housing, or returning to work.

Peer Support and Non-Institutional Design

The program cultivates a sense of community among women who share similar experiences. Residents attend recovery meetings, build peer networks, and participate in communal routines that foster accountability and belonging. The setting, close to downtown Greenville, with access to walking paths and green space, offers a calm, non-institutional atmosphere designed to feel safe and restorative.
