Thawing Addiction ~ Serenity Cafe Recovery Center
Thawing Addiction, Codependency, and Adult-Child Syndrome:

The Serenity Cafe Recovery Center is different than the other courses here at Serenity Cafe. Along with Serenity Cafe Live!, the Recovery Center is built to provide elements for online structure, services, and community similar to an Intensive Outpatient Coaching Program (IOCP). Having been through treatment for addiction at 29 years old and managing an intensive outpatient treatment program at our local hospital, Don believes that recovery education, relapse prevention planning, and coping skills for recovery combined with counseling or coaching services on a regular schedule provide the structure necessary for a good start in recovery.

Thawing Addiction @ Serenity Cafe Recovery Center answers questions like, "Why don't they see what they're doing and just stop (drinking, drugging, sexing, gambling, care-taking, rescuing, etc.)?" The Recovery Center dives deep into...

  • The various causes and conditions underlying addiction and codependency 
  • Why addiction is called the Family disease and the Feelings disease
  • The self-sustaining nature of addiction and codependency
  • How to prevent falling prey to chronic relapse syndrome.
  • Why the payoffs of recovery must be more valuable than the elusive payoffs of addiction or codependency


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 waning services. Serenity Cafe Recovery Center has been under development for just that reason. With the available resources at our disposal, we are now able to offer the education and coaching element, while members are enrolled in outpatient therapy and/or IOP with other addiction professionals.

Serenity Cafe Live!
