Serenity House – Burnie
About Serenity House – Burnie
Serenity House in Burnie, on Tasmania’s north-west coast, is run by City Mission and provides non-medical sobering-up care for anyone intoxicated by alcohol or other drugs, a Place of Safety alternative to police custody, and short-term communal time-out accommodation for men and women.
Time-out is for those whose main need is substance use support, and it can act as a bridge between withdrawal and longer-term rehabilitation, or between withdrawal and home. Staff monitor and support clients, arrange medical help where it is needed and can refer on, with counselling, referral and follow-up available. Serenity House also serves as a pre-admission pathway to Missiondale. Time-out is open to anyone from anywhere in Tasmania, including interstate arrivals, while Place of Safety referrals come only from police, hospital or ambulance services.

Serenity House Counselling Services
Serenity House offers short-term time-out accommodation in Burnie for men and women whose main need is substance use support, alongside non-medical sobering-up care and a Place of Safety alternative to police custody. Counselling, referral and follow-up sit alongside the accommodation rather than a structured treatment programme.
Staff monitor and support clients through the stay, arrange medical help where it is needed, and can refer on to other services. For many, time-out works as a bridge: a safe place between withdrawal and a longer rehabilitation programme, or between withdrawal and going home. Serenity House is also a pre-admission pathway to Missiondale, City Mission’s therapeutic community. Withdrawal medication, formal group programmes and long-term rehabilitation are not provided here, so expect support and housing rather than clinical treatment.

How Much Does Treatment at Serenity House Cost?
Published prices for Serenity House weren’t found. City Mission sets out no fee, nightly charge or client contribution for the sobering-up service, the Place of Safety function or short-term time-out accommodation, and services of this kind are commonly funded rather than billed to the individual.
Short-stay accommodation of this type is a support arrangement rather than a priced programme, so no comparison figure applies to it. For the counselling and follow-up that sit alongside a stay, outpatient alcohol and other drug care in Australia typically costs A$150 to A$300 a session, depending on whether you see an alcohol and drug counsellor or a registered psychologist, which is a sector benchmark and not a quote from this service. Contact Serenity House on (03) 6435 4654 for pricing tailored to your needs and to ask what a stay includes.

Serenity House Reviews
Reviews of Serenity House from around the web are limited, and no overall rating is known for the West Mooreville Road house. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for the service, and anyone who has used time-out, the sobering-up service or the Place of Safety is welcome to share their experience.
Services like this one rarely attract written feedback, partly because a stay is short and often unplanned. What would help a north-west reader is a plain account: how staff handled the first hours, what the communal accommodation was like, whether counselling and follow-up were offered, and how a move on to Missiondale or back home was arranged.
An amazing experience that was made all the better with the people there 💞😍🥰🤩
I went with work to tour the new facilities and WOW what an amazing place. Well laid out, plenty of space and the staff were very friendly.
