About Serenity Pointe

Serenity Pointe, part of the Lighthouse Community Investment Agency family of charitable organizations, is a comprehensive Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment facility in the beautiful Mingo County, West Virginia region. Serenity Pointe treats those suffering with SUD as a chronic condition, requiring medicine for treatment and intensive support for long-term recovery.

XXXX Square Feet and Space for 90 Residents

The facility’s approximate xxx sq. ft. contains ample space for approximately 90 residents progressing through individual treatment plans and receiving a multi-modal approach to recovery and co-occurring disorders.

The evidence-based in and out-patient services are targeted for both men and women over the age of 18 and referred by a partner agency, practice, organization, or self-referred to participate in this volunteer program.

With a foundation in best practices, Serenity Pointe blends abstinence-based values with medicine-assisted treatment based on the patient’s individual recovery plan.

Serenity Pointe is also actively seeking partnerships in the region to enhance and compliment SUD recovery and related healthcare capabilities found within area organizations while recruiting medical and behavioral health professionals to ensure the highest possible quality of care for our participants.

CBT
CBT involves introduction of coping skills to promote unlearning of maladaptive drug use patterns and substitute more adaptive patterns that will oppose and prevent use. Patients are thought skills including drug refusal and preventing drug craving.
Contingency Management
Contingency Management uses the principles of reinforcement and behavior modification by giving concrete predetermined rewards or mild punishments contingent upon some target behavior. Such behavior is usually abstinence from substance use as confirmed by Urine Drug Screens.
IDC
IDC involves treating the patient as individual with full autonomy. Understanding reason for his addiction and working with the patient in ways to make patient commit to and practice abstinence. EMDR therapy allows the brain to adaptively resolves problems that originate from previous trauma causing several comorbid conditions related to OUD like anxiety disorders, depression, panic disorder, agoraphobia.
PEER RECOVERY COACHING
Partnered with the Med-Surg Physician Group (MSPG) in Beckley, WV, (we need to highlight Dr. Sangodeyi’s and other outside providers – and we need their bios/pics): our approach relies heavily on the effectiveness of Peer Coaching. We are positioned to use people that have recovered satisfactorily from addiction to help the residents in their journey to full recovery.
Co-Occurring Disorders (COD)
Serenity Pointe incorporates best practices to identify and treat Co-Occurring Disorders (COD) among both the in/out-patient participants. Using a holistic approach to care that is rooted in evidence-based treatment, Serenity Pointe features therapy & recovery programming that stems from and compliments the core components of the SUD recovery model and incorporating out-patient and in-community services while expanding partnerships wherever possible to meet client needs.
Serenity Pointe Out-Patient (IOP)
The Serenity Pointe Out-Patient (IOP) approach utilizes family and peer group-centered therapy designed to assist individuals, families and support networks in crisis by emphasizing safety, stability, in-home stability (when possible) and well-being, as well as individualized planning that allows the intervention period to be determined through group skill development and as a part of the natural healing process and aided by a care coordination team. Specific to the intervention model is the identification of concrete supports and social connections. Because families and peer support groups are aware of their own strengths and needs, input is a critical component and included in assessment, treatment planning, and intervention. When possible, each treatment plan builds upon family and/or support group strengths, is inclusive of the culture and meets the needs of the individual and support system.

As a compliment and enhancement to the region’s recovery capabilities, Serenity Pointe operates throughout the spectrum of recovery levels based on an evaluation of the participant’s history, needs, and best-approach methods. These levels, designated as 3.1, 3.3, 3.5, and 3.7, mirror nationally-accepted standards and best practices. While not all participants will require a ‘step-down’ approach (i.e. entering the facility with a requirement for a more intensive level-of-care and progressing to less-intensive care), the facility’s model supports that this approach may be required for most participants. The living quarters in the facility also support this approach to care although there are no strict rules that a participant MUST enter the facility with intensive care requirements.

The Underlying Pillars of
Serenity Pointe’s model are:

RAPID access to care
Services that are within a CULTURAL CONTEXT most conducive to a recovery environment that

promotes peer support, acceptance, and resiliency
SEEMLESS integration of care with existing referral and referring partnerships

STAFF RATIOS that provide opportunities for meaningful and substantial interactions with recovery professionals

A thorough ORIENTATION that makes participants feel welcome, accepted, and informed of the facility’s mission, expectations, and standards

A focus on GOAL SETTING and REVIEW with each participant, reviewed monthly (at a minimum)

CARE CONTINUITY both within the facility and as participants transition out of in-patient care regardless of whether the participant opts into intensive out-patient programming to ensure each person is linked to continued supports

The assignment of a PEER RECOVERY SUPPORT SPECIALIST (PRSS) early in the recovery process and consistency is maintained for these key individuals to the greatest extent possible

Inclusion of important supporting organizations (AA/NA) throughout the recovery process

Emphasis on collecting and synthesizing DATA and appropriate DATA SHARING to enhance and continuously evaluate the facility’s programming
