Virtual Chemical Dependency Recovery Program

We are now enrolling members to our new Virtual – Chemical Dependency Recovery Program (V-CDRP) 

As a therapist with nearly 4 decades of experience I, along with others, watched treatment services for chemical dependency dwindle and become increasingly scarce, while waiting list grew to months at a time. Private treatment centers have been able to get clients admitted, but the rates are either out of reach for many or denied altogether by their insurance company. Now that I am semi-retired in private practice I am real-izing an opportunity to do something to close the gap in services and help other therapists to enhance their clients chances of successful outpatient treatment. This is why I have created the Serenity Cafe and now the Serenity Cafe Recovery Center.

My Virtual – Chemical Dependency Recovery Program (V-CDRP) is free to Serenity Cafe Members and facilitated by me, Don Carter MSW, LCSW, on a weekly basis. (See color-coded schedule below). Serenity Cafe Members can select one group, or all groups. Sign-up for a free Serenity Cafe Membership

With the exception of my Thawing the Iceberg Series (Books) and Individual Counseling & Coaching Services, all clients and members of Serenity Cafe (including free members) now have access to almost everything  including coaching groups, workshops, online courses, and webinars. My goal is to make these resources available to all who need them, I could use some help to do that. Please consider becoming a partner with me by supporting my work in anyway you can. As a Serenity Cafe Partner you help keep Serenity Cafe available to ALL who need it, WHEN they need it.

Individual Therapy and Coaching sessions are not free, but they would be a nice option for group coaching members. It may even make the difference between success and relapse in your outpatient therapy! Build your own Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) by blending professional outpatient therapy and treatment (with me or someone else) with your V-CDRP coaching program. Add the structure of an Intensive Coaching program while doing weekly or bi-monthly outpatient sessions, incurring no additional charges. Use your own therapist, EAP counselor, or one of us here at Carter Counseling & Consulting Services.

Plus ~ Members not only have access to all resources at Serenity Cafe, but they can also give and receive experience, strength, and hope 24/7 in our integrated recovery communities all within our secure client portal. Members can also gather in community group rooms 24/7 to support each other. Access to the private groups require a members-only password received when they are enrolled in the groups. There is no charge for Serenity Cafe Members, including free members!

NOTE: Individual Therapy sessions are optional, separate from, and in addition to the V-CDRP.  Use your current therapist or Schedule a free consultation to discuss adding individual therapy services to your Coaching Program. See color-coded group coaching schedule below. Serenity Cafe Members can select one group, or all groups.

Join Our Recovery Community @ Serenity Cafe

Recovery Rooms @ Serenity Cafe is our newest addition to the Cafe. It's a Community of people in growth mode and the hub for all of our resources. We made these resources for our clients, website visitors, and anyone else who might benefit. If you are new to recovery, we recommend that you work with a professional therapist on many of the courses unless you have experience with therapy and recovery. The resources here at Serenity Cafe are not intended to replace professional help, but to enhance it by offering educational support and community mileau before, during, and after therapy or treatment.
