"GREEDY & UNSCRUPULOUS BUSINESS MANAGEMENT!!"

This place took my Mum's $24K for my brother to be there a month but when he was unhappy & decided to check himself out they didn't bother to contact us & let us help him get home... He'd forgotten his wallet & phone when leaving home but didn't realize it until after we'd driven 3 Hours South... They took my 63 year old desheveled brother to LAX & just dumped him off!!! He's had a Stroke & Brain Injury, needs to take meds, & is generally quite unsteady on his feet... Without a phone we were unable to contact him & with the brain injury he couldn't recall family phone numbers!!! We reported him Missing, & contacted Hospitals, Law Enforcement, & the Media hoping to find him!!! When the Sheriff asked for X-ray & Dental records, we knew they'd use them to identify him from an unidentified body!!! My sister & brother-in-law went to LA & were scouring the Homeless Encampments near LAX... We were terrified!!! Eventually he did make it home, after 5 days... For that "Care" Serenity Lodge charged us $1,000/day... He'd checked in Friday & walked out early Tuesday morning... Not much happens on the 1st Weekend, so he essentially had 1 Day, Monday, for which they charged us $5K!!! (*They counted Tuesday, although he left at 8:30am!!!) And despite having my Mum's $24K, they didn't even send him off with a lunch, or help in getting a Bus Ticket home!!! Terrible Decision Making by the "Onsite Management Team!!!" GREEDY UNSCRUPULOUS Business Practices!!!!

"This place doesn’t let you make the…"

This place doesn’t let you make the choice to stay on sub maintenance for opiates .. they cut you off after like 4-5days being on em . They make you program just by looking at you determining how “sick” you are . So basically they will make you go to classes after a day or two if you’re not looking sick 🤦🏽‍♂️ So basically they make people who feel HORRIBLE coming off alcohol or drugs go to classes from 9am-330pm on your first couple days there . NO PHONE only phone calls thru your case manager on a landline while they sit there . The Dr.s do not go by what you tell them they tell YOU what’s works for YOU not the other way around which is crazy.. also BEWARE of financial things talk to them and YOUR INSURANCE thoroughly before just trusting them . Over the phone they said if I did have a bill it wouldn’t go to Collections and to not worry about a thing that money wasn’t a big deal to them that if I did have a bill that I could pay in payments but he assured me it would never go to collections EVER in case ish hit the fan. When I got to the facility the guy was instantly like hey just remember if you can’t pay the bill in payments just remember DO NOT ignore collection calls DO NOT ignore them and they’ll give you time until you get back on your feet . (Great to hear while you’re feeling like ish thinking you didn’t have anything to worry about now you have another problem besides your addiction to worry about) . This place is Borderline (actually not borderline) they are breaking laws (false advertisement) and just flat out lies about financials .

"I have tried plenty of programs on my…"

I have tried plenty of programs on my road to recovery and none were effective. Serenity Lodge changed everything. People actually cared about my health and progress there. I felt part of their family. I am still sober since leaving and could not be more grateful. Thank you!!!

"I really didn’t know what to expect…"

I really didn’t know what to expect from my time at Serenity Lodge. I am so grateful for the bonds and process on my recovery I made while there. Thank you!

"A beautiful environment that changes…"

A beautiful environment that changes lives. Thank you to the caring community at Serenity Lodge for helping my brother find his way back.

"saved my husband’s life…"

Serenity lodge saved my husband’s life and gave our kids their father back. He had tried so many other facilities and several failed attempts. This last stay a year ago at serenity lodge did the trick. The staff is like no other - caring, professional, unique. I would recommend this facility to any man who is ready to get sober - serenity lodge will change their life.

"Serenity Lodge will change your life."

I chose the facility at random and was told I made a great decision. My experience there proved I did actually make the right one. The staff is great, the facility clean and comfortable, and the brotherhood vibe is real. Even six months later I'm still participating in alumni functions that are contributing to my grateful sobriety. If you can go, DO IT, it will be the best decision you'll make. And if sobriety is what you seek, and you're not afraid of some hard work, you will be truly blessed.

"Fantastic place"

Fantastic place. I recommend Serenity Lodge to anyone who will listen.

"I have nothing but positive things to…"

I have nothing but positive things to say about Serenity Lodge. The staff, the food, the community.

"Serenity Lodge saved my life"

Serenity Lodge saved my life! The staff provided a great atmosphere where I felt welcome and at home. I'm very happy I found this place.
