History

Established in 2004.

Our success story is about responsible growth and care. Serenity Now CMHC, Inc. was established and began offering treatment for adults in 2003 in Delray Beach, FL by Maria I. Dickey, LMHC. Our treatment facilities were born from a desire by our founder to develop a community mental health center (CMHC) that would provide affordable mental health services to all those requiring help in the community.

CMHC’s were created as a needed attempt to help chronic mentally ill clients re-​engage in society as they had been de-​institutionalized from state hospitals, and placed into AlF’s (assisted living facilities) not always equipped to address the special needs of the chronic mentally ill client. Serenity Now Treatment Center began offering PHP and IOP treatments to individuals either being stepped down from inpatient units or in lieu of inpatient treatment to stabilize psychiatric symptoms through psycho-​educational groups, process groups, and weekly psychiatric medication management.
