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.
