"Great Halfway house with a great program and staff," James wrote in a review representative of positive feedback, offering perfect five-star ratings for the respect shown to clients, the training of counselors, effectiveness of individual counseling, and conflict resolution. </p> <p>The three unhappy reviewers, who all participated in the extended-care programs, complained that Serenity House provided minimal therapy and staffed unfocused counselors. In a review representative of negative feedback, Ted wrote: "They do not do much counceling. They say one hour a week at half way house, but is more like 30 minutes at best with councelor who is focused on doing something else at the time."</p> <p>Serenity House Counseling Services <strong>received positive feedback on secondary sites</strong>, earning an average rating of 4.4 out of five starsbased on 10 Google reviews<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> and a 4.8 out of five star rating based on the opinions of 39 individuals on Facebook, which the facility may manage.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small>.
