About

About Recovery House Inc

Recovery House Inc is a nearly 50-year-old Vermont nonprofit that operates Serenity House, Grace House, McGee House, and the Public Inebriate Program from a base at 98 Church Street in Wallingford, with administrative coordination in Rutland. Serenity House is the flagship residential detox and treatment site, nestled in the Green Mountains, and provides medically monitored detoxification for adults dealing with alcohol or opioid use disorder.

Detox at Serenity House uses established, medically monitored protocols including buprenorphine for opioid withdrawal and Librium for alcohol withdrawal, along with comfort medications as clinically indicated. Registered Nurses are on site to carry out physician-ordered protocols and ensure patient safety. Following detox, patients can step down into longer-term residential treatment, Grace House for low-intensity long-term residential support, or medication-assisted outpatient care. The Public Inebriate Program is a Vermont-specific service for acute alcohol stabilization.

Clinical care is led by Dr. Nels Kloster, a board-certified addiction specialist psychiatrist, with a multidisciplinary team that includes medical, clinical, administrative, and support staff drawn from emergency rooms, residential treatment, methadone clinics, and community case management backgrounds. Evidence-based modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, and contingency management, integrated with mutual self-help (12-step) participation as a community-based recovery anchor.

Recovery House serves adults of all genders, pregnant women, deaf or hard-of-hearing patients, and people who use intravenous drugs, with explicit programming for co-occurring mental health conditions. Payment options include Vermont Medicaid, private insurance, TRICARE, sliding-scale self-pay, and state insurance. For Vermonters in need of detox plus a graduated step-down into longer-term residential support, Recovery House remains one of the longest-running and most established providers in the state.
