Find Serenity

About Find Serenity

Find Serenity is a sober living operator in Dover, Delaware, running three faith-based recovery homes in Kent County. The organization describes its work as a resource for transitioning back to positive living, and it pairs affordable housing with case management, mentorship and the practical skills a person needs to hold a job and a household after treatment.

A Dover Recovery Housing Provider

Find Serenity is a housing organization first. Its houses supply structure, peer accountability and a stable address in the state capital, and clinical care comes from outpatient providers elsewhere in the city. Residents keep their own prescribers, therapists and meetings. What the operator controls is consistency: the same expectations, the same fee structure and the same staff across every address, which is the part a resident notices when moving between houses.

Three Sober Living Homes in Kent County

Find Serenity operates three men's residences, all of them in Dover:

• Serenity Place, on Martin Street.
• 305 Shalom House, on North Governors Avenue.
• 520 Shalom House, on North State Street.

The cluster is tight, and that has a practical effect. Changing houses leaves the city, the DART bus routes and the outpatient provider unchanged, and a transfer is a conversation with people who already know the resident.

Faith-Based Sober Homes and the Twelve Steps

The model is explicitly faith based and holistic, built on spirituality, the twelve steps and sponsorship. Residents are expected to work a program outside the house. Around that, the organization runs addiction and didactic groups, family meetings, life skills instruction and financial literacy. Applicants who want a secular residence should say so at intake, because the spiritual framing here is central to the program.

Serving Men in Recovery Across Dover

Every Find Serenity residence houses men. Keeping the whole portfolio single gender means house rules, meetings and shared space are written for one population, and a man applying to the organization is considered for any of the three addresses. Placement becomes a question of which house has a bed and which one fits, handled through one intake.

Recovery Housing Aimed at Employment

Job search assistance and financial literacy sit near the center of what this operator offers, which tells a prospective resident what its houses are for. It takes people leaving treatment, detox or incarceration and points them toward work. Dover supports that: state government, Dover Air Force Base, Bayhealth's Kent Campus, Delaware State University and the retail corridor along DuPont Highway are the region's largest employers, and all of them are reachable from a Find Serenity address.

Certification and Delaware Recovery Housing Standards

Delaware's recovery residence certification is administered by the First State Alliance of Recovery Residences, the state affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences and the certifying entity named in the Matthew Klosowski Act. Certification is granted residence by residence, so anyone evaluating a multi-house operator in Delaware should ask about each address individually. The operator-level questions are separate ones: how long the organization has housed residents in Kent County, whether it accepts referrals from treatment providers and the courts, how deposits are documented and refunded, and how a complaint escalates past a house to the organization itself.
