Serenity House Communities (SHC) is a recovery community organization founded in 2015 as a substance use disorder prevention & recovery support service. SHC provides substance use and co-occurring disorder support for men & women in Lapeer & Genesee counties. Services are conducted utilizing a Community Resiliency model that meets participants in their current stage of change and empowers them towards a path of recovery. SHC provides a wide spectrum of services including advocacy and educational events to reduce stigma, recovery coaching and recovery support groups. The organization specializes in the delivery of holistic medicine approaches that range from Recovery Reiki to Yoga & Acupuncture. SHC is committed to promoting change and awareness, reducing stigma and shame by providing a better understanding of recovery. All services and projects conducted by SHC take place in a strategic planning framework that includes attention to assessing the needs of our participants; assessing and building capacity for the benefit of our participants, researching, and applying evidence-based and culturally accepted healing approaches and using outcome and evaluation to drive services, as evidenced by the results of our data collection and analysis. SHC is aware of cultural diversity and provides cultural competency awareness that helps those who are affiliated with SHC to effectively operate within different cultural contexts with sensitivity toward members of other ethnic or cultural groups. This project is part of a growing trend to establish RCO’s across the country. The formation of a Recovery Community Organization also supports peer development, within a Recovery Oriented System of Care framework.
