I was forced (court ordered) to live at Serenity House on 2 different occasions. I had not surrendered, I was unwilling to see my life as a gift from God. The staff was always so patient and loving with me, welcoming me back with open arms, no matter how many times I failed. Later on, when I was ready and willing to surrender, I attended Serenity House 1/2 and 3/4 house programs, and again was surrounded by the love and support I truly needed. They helped keep me accountable, taught me how to love myself without shame, they saw in me what I could not see in myself (in my disease), that I was valuable and worthy of the BEST life God created me for. Thank you Serenity House for playing a huge part in my healing journey!! Former heroin addict

Well - while I have not been a client of this location - I have gotten quite an insightful ‘counseling’ from one of their ‘addiction counselors’ via text recently. Does this place vet their personnel? I do commend all who truly want to heal though.

They kind of do what they want and are bias. It’s a good though and has pretty good structure to keep clients busy and out of trouble. The problem i found is that the counselors are burnt out or not competent. Fees are reasonable, they give you time to find a job. While your waiting to find a job your asked to attend this group that doesn’t help you find employment. The group is rather dry and boring, with nothing good ever coming from them. The clinical director is very bias and tells people to leave over the silliest of reasons. She told me we would sit down and talk about why i was being asked to leave after my third month. No surprise she never met with me. That’s because i didn’t do anything wrong and she was just trying to show her power for whatever reason. But little does she know that this addict/alcoholic actually helped alot of people while he was in the house. Facility is run down. Black mold everywhere Basement tiles falling from ceiling been broken for two years now. Fridges going bad, ovens going bad, pans are multiple years old and are disgusting for cooking. Take this as you wish. I do and don’t recommend serenity house.

Stayed there from July 2021-October 2021. These were the following problems that were never addressed even though it was brought up numerous times on community Wednesdays : Black Mold growing in the showers, majority food in the house was expired some of it was even from 2020, Limited groups focused on recovery most of them you'll literally just be coloring or saying how you feel that day. NO CONFIDENTIALITY OR FOLLOWING HIPPA LAWS AT ALL WITH PAST CLIENTS. Counselors would talk trash about clients history, whether or not they'll stay sober, how they dropped dirty and talk about it in groups. Positives about this place is they got two good senior leads who genuinely care about your recovery unlike everyone else who works there.
