About Central Peninsula Behavioral Health Serenity House

Central Peninsula Behavioral Health Serenity House is a substance use treatment facility located at 245 North Binkley Street in Soldotna, Alaska, serving residents of the Kenai Peninsula. The facility operates under the umbrella of Central Peninsula General Hospital and provides medically supervised care for adults navigating addiction and co-occurring behavioral health conditions. For anyone in crisis and searching for a detox center in southcentral Alaska, Serenity House represents one of the few local options offering a structured clinical continuum.

The facility’s levels of care begin with medical detox — supervised withdrawal management for individuals who need clinical support during the earliest and most physically demanding stage of treatment. From there, patients can step into residential treatment for continued 24-hour care, or transition to an outpatient program or Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) as stabilization progresses. This full continuum means patients do not necessarily have to transfer to a different facility as their level of need changes.

Clinical care at Serenity House incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured psychotherapy approach used to address the thought patterns and behaviors driving substance use. The program also addresses trauma and PTSD alongside addiction, and is equipped to treat co-occurring disorders — a dual diagnosis framework that treats mental health conditions and substance use together rather than in isolation. This integrated approach is reflected in the range of conditions the facility is confirmed to treat.

Serenity House serves a notably broad population, including veterans, pregnant women, young adults ages 18 to 25, seniors, men, women, individuals with HIV/AIDS, those who are deaf or hard of hearing, and court-ordered clients. Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay. Admissions inquiries can be directed to admissionscontactus@cpgh.org or by calling (907) 714-4521 during weekday office hours.

Medical Detox and Withdrawal Management in Soldotna, Alaska

Central Peninsula Behavioral Health Serenity House offers medical detox as the entry point for individuals requiring supervised withdrawal management. For residents of the Kenai Peninsula who need clinical oversight during the acute phase of substance withdrawal, Serenity House provides that level of care locally — avoiding the need to travel to Anchorage or beyond.

Medical detox at Serenity House feeds directly into the facility's residential and outpatient programs, creating a pathway through treatment rather than a single isolated service. Patients who stabilize medically can continue care within the same facility, reducing the disruption that comes with transferring between providers during a vulnerable period.

Full Continuum of Care: From Inpatient Detox to Outpatient Treatment

Serenity House operates across four distinct levels of care: medical detox, residential treatment, standard outpatient programming, and Intensive Outpatient (IOP). This range allows the clinical team to match placement to a patient's current medical and psychological needs, and to adjust that placement as the patient's condition changes over time.

The Intensive Outpatient Program is structured for individuals who have achieved a degree of stabilization but still require regular clinical contact and structured therapeutic support. Combined with the residential and detox components, this continuum is designed to serve patients across different stages of treatment without requiring a facility transfer.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment and Trauma-Informed Care

Many people entering detox and residential treatment are managing more than a substance use disorder. Serenity House is confirmed to treat co-occurring disorders — also called dual diagnosis — meaning psychiatric conditions are addressed alongside addiction rather than after it. The facility also treats trauma and PTSD, conditions that are frequently intertwined with substance dependence and that, if left unaddressed, can undermine treatment outcomes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is among the therapeutic methods used at Serenity House. CBT is a structured, goal-oriented approach that targets the cognitive distortions and behavioral patterns associated with both substance use and mental health conditions, making it applicable across the dual diagnosis population the facility serves.

Who Serenity House Serves and How to Pay

Serenity House maintains one of the broader population mandates of any detox and residential facility in Alaska. The program is equipped to serve veterans, pregnant women, young adults, seniors, men, women, individuals with HIV/AIDS, those who are deaf or hard of hearing, and court-ordered clients. This range reflects a facility designed to reduce barriers to entry for populations that are often underserved by standard treatment programs.

Payment is accepted through Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay. TRICARE coverage is particularly significant for the military-connected population in Alaska. To begin the admissions process, contact Serenity House at (907) 714-4521 or email admissionscontactus@cpgh.org. The admissions office is open Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM.
