Based on Thawing Addiction, the Serenity Cafe Recovery Center is different than the other courses here at Serenity Cafe. It is built to provide an online structure, services, and Community similar to an intensive outpatient program. Inpatient and intensive Outpatient Treatment are harder to come by than ever before. Due to recent advances in online coaching, conferencing, webinars, and small groups online, it is now possible to fill the gap left by dwindling services with the Serenity Cafe Recovery Center
