True Directions Inc - Serenity Haven

Women-Only Sober Living in a Quiet Small-Town Setting

Serenity Haven is a women-only sober living and transitional residential program in Mora, Minnesota. The environment is intentionally home-like and community-oriented, offering a quieter setting where women can focus on rebuilding stability away from day-to-day pressures. The program emphasizes strengths-based living — encouraging women to identify what they do well, practice healthier routines, and build confidence through steady progress. It’s designed for women who want supportive structure while they reestablish a chemical-free lifestyle and begin reconnecting with work, relationships, and community resources at a manageable pace.

Structure and Goal-Setting

A core feature is individualized goal setting, helping women identify practical next steps and track progress over time — whether that’s stabilizing daily routines, rebuilding healthy relationships, or preparing for the next stage of care. Women are encouraged to pursue employment or complete weekly community service, which can help restore purpose, accountability, and momentum. Socialization is also part of the approach, giving women a chance to practice communication and support one another while living in a structured environment.

Support With Medications, Appointments, and Follow-Through

The program offers medication management and assistance with making appointments and setting reminders. When transportation is a barrier, staff can help women obtain medical transport or coordinate rides to necessary appointments. A nurse is on staff, supporting women who need help understanding medication routines or navigating next steps in care. These services are meant to reduce avoidable setbacks and make follow-through more realistic day to day.

Connecting Women to Community-Based Care

Staff are available to help connect women with community programs for mental health needs and outpatient substance use services. This model can work well for women who benefit from stable housing and daily accountability while continuing therapy, counseling, or other outpatient supports in the community.

Home-Style Living

The program is set up to support everyday stability through a shared home environment. Women have access to communal living areas and a shared kitchen, creating regular opportunities to practice routines like meal planning, cooking, and cleaning in a supportive setting. Food is provided so women can prepare three meals per day.
