Men-Only Desert Residential Setting
Set in a quiet stretch of desert in Baker, California, Serenity Cottages of the Desert is built for men who want distance from daily triggers while staying engaged in structured treatment. The program is residential with 24/7 support and a small-community feel, with cottage-style accommodations and shared spaces that encourage routine, accountability, and connection.
Counseling and Practical Tools for Recovery
Treatment includes individual, group, and family therapy, along with relapse-prevention planning and aftercare preparation. The facility also offers substance use disorder counseling, trauma-related counseling, motivational interviewing, brief intervention, anger management, and 12-step work. For clients who need mental health support alongside substance use care, Serenity Cottages offers services for co-occurring disorders (including co-occurring substance use and serious mental illness in adults), with mental health services and medications for mental disorders as part of care.
Medications and Withdrawal Support
The facility supports medications for addiction treatment (MAT) for opioid and alcohol use disorders as part of recovery planning through in-network or contracted entities. The program also accepts clients using medication treatment for alcohol use disorder when prescribed elsewhere. Men can also be connected with withdrawal management (detox) as a first step before starting regular residential treatment.
Daily Living, Wellness, and Step-Down Support
Alongside therapy, Serenity Cottages emphasizes day-to-day stability skills. Educational opportunities include options like cooking and a drywall/trade-focused class, which can help clients rebuild confidence and structure. Wellness offerings include yoga, meditation, and art therapy, plus access to a private gym and outdoor areas. Continuing support includes discharge planning, aftercare/continuing care, outcome follow-up after discharge, and overdose education. The facility also offers recovery supports like mentoring/peer support, a recovery coach, and employment counseling or training to help clients strengthen routines after residential treatment.
