About Serenity Treatment Center of Louisiana

Serenity Treatment Center of Louisiana is a CARF-accredited substance use treatment facility located at 2325 Weymouth Drive in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Open 24 hours a day, the center serves men and women from across East Baton Rouge Parish and surrounding communities — including Baker, Central, Zachary, Gonzales, Prairieville, and Livingston. The facility operates a mid-city campus designed to meet the growing demand for addiction treatment services in the region.

The center offers a full continuum of care beginning with medical detox — the highest level of clinical supervision available for people entering withdrawal. From there, clients can step into residential treatment for immersive, round-the-clock support, followed by an outpatient program or Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) as they transition toward independent recovery. This four-level structure means a person can enter at the appropriate level of care and move through treatment within the same facility without having to restart elsewhere.

Treatment at Serenity incorporates Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) alongside a range of clinical and therapeutic methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, nutrition therapy, and a 12-step program. Continuing care is available after primary treatment ends, providing an aftercare framework that extends the work done during the program. The facility maintains a safe, clean environment on its mid-city Baton Rouge campus.

Serenity serves men, women, and individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing, and works with clients from a broad range of financial backgrounds. Payment options include Medicaid, TRICARE, private insurance, and self-pay. As the center notes directly: “We work with clients from all financial backgrounds — including many who don’t have a dime.” For anyone in the Greater Baton Rouge area facing addiction, Serenity’s 24-hour availability and multi-level detox and treatment programs make it a substantive option for same-day contact.

  • Medical detox available as the entry point to a full four-level continuum — detox, residential, outpatient, and IOP — all within one CARF-accredited Baton Rouge facility

Medical Detox and Withdrawal Management in Baton Rouge

For people entering treatment in active withdrawal, Serenity Treatment Center of Louisiana provides medical detox as the first and most critical level of care. Medical detox allows clinicians to supervise the withdrawal process around the clock, reducing the risks associated with stopping substance use without professional support. The facility is open 24 hours a day, which means intake does not have to wait.

Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is incorporated into the clinical program, supporting patients through the detox and stabilization process with FDA-recognized pharmacological protocols. After medical detox, clients can continue directly into residential treatment or step down to an outpatient level of care — all within the same CARF-accredited facility in Baton Rouge.

Levels of Care: From Inpatient Detox to Intensive Outpatient

Serenity offers four distinct levels of care under one roof: medical detox, residential treatment, outpatient program, and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). This continuum means treatment can be matched to where a person actually is clinically — not forced into a single program format. Residential treatment provides structured, immersive support following detox, while the IOP creates a bridge for those returning to work, family, or daily responsibilities.

Program length is structured around a 30-day framework. Continuing care is available after primary treatment, providing aftercare support that extends clinical engagement beyond discharge. Serving communities across East Baton Rouge, Livingston, and the surrounding parishes, Serenity functions as a regional resource for people who need more than a referral — they need a clinical program that can take them from day one of withdrawal through the early weeks of recovery.

Insurance and Payment Options at Serenity Treatment Center

Cost is one of the most common reasons people delay or avoid addiction treatment. Serenity Treatment Center accepts Medicaid, TRICARE, private insurance, and self-pay, and the facility is direct about its commitment: "We work with clients from all financial backgrounds — including many who don't have a dime." That statement, from the center itself, reflects a practical posture toward financial barriers that many treatment seekers face.

TRICARE acceptance makes Serenity a viable option for active-duty military, veterans, and their dependents in the Baton Rouge area. For those without insurance or with limited coverage, self-pay and Medicaid options remain available. Anyone with questions about coverage or costs can reach the center directly at (225) 361-0899 — the facility operates 24 hours a day.

Who Serenity Treatment Center Serves

Serenity Treatment Center is designed to serve men and women seeking addiction treatment in Baton Rouge and the surrounding region. The facility's service area covers Baker, Central, Zachary, Gonzales, Prairieville, Shenandoah, and Livingston — a geographic reach that makes it a practical option for people well beyond the immediate Baton Rouge metro. The mid-city campus location keeps the facility accessible to residents across East Baton Rouge Parish.

Notably, Serenity is equipped to serve individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing — a specific population accommodation that distinguishes it from most regional treatment programs. With CARF accreditation validating its clinical standards, and a treatment model that moves from medical detox through continuing care, the center is built to handle the full scope of what someone entering addiction treatment may need.
