This comprehensive program includes intake/screening and referral, residential treatment and case management.

Assessments are required to be completed by the referring organization. Individuals in the Ottawa area who need an assessment will be directed to Access MHA. Individuals outside of the Ottawa area must complete a GAINS Q3 assessment with an organization in their area. There are other forms of assessment, beyond the MOH-approved standardized assessment tools, required to access this program, which Serenity House will perform. Please do not send assessment packages prior to the individual contacting the organization.
Urinalysis is mandatory. Abstinence is required from alcohol and drugs, and individuals who use tobacco or vaping products are required to become part of our STOP program and use Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) with the goal of quitting during treatment. There is zero tolerance for violence towards, self, others or property. Individuals cannot work for the duration of program due to intensity of program.
