This placed has saved my life and given the right tools and knowledge to be able to handle my addiction issues to better myself in the real world and for my children! The staff was excellent my case manager Monica was absolutely exceptional the facilitators Tommy, Ray, Cesar, and Jorge combined to give me all the tools and confidence in dealing with my issues and real life stories that helped dramatically change my outlook on life after addiction! Even down to the chefs and working staff everyone here is for you! And it was just an experience that has changed me in ways I can’t explain I highly recommend this place to all the people who feel lost in addiction and your brothers in arms here will take care of you as well!

Great experience here. First off the facilitators are top notch. Ray, Jorge, Tommy, and Cesar were all amazing and played a huge role in my recovery. They truly care for the clients and want everyone to succeed. They are the backbone of this place for sure. My therapist(s) have been amazing as well. They really get into the root cause of the addiction. The case managers are great as well, overall great people. Zinnia definitely needs to look at hiring some more case managers so they aren’t so over worked all the time. The facility itself is great, could use some updates here and there but awesome amenities and food is good, just a little repetitive. Thank you everyone at serenity Lodge!

First of all the Facilitators are all excellent ,above average, and the curriculum is awesome. If you are ready to become sober and live a drug and alcohol free life Serenity is the place to be! The facility and all the amenities are great as well. If you’re a recording artist such as myself, the studio they provide is top of the line. Self expression through music is a type of therapy as well and was a pivotal part of my recovery.

Serenity Lodge was great. I was able to connect to my feelings again and emotions and build a strong foundation of recovery by changing my perspective in my mind and finding a relationship With my higher power. I was able to understand self love again as well as receiving love, which I had lost for so long. The universal consciousness of doing the right thing and giving back is a great foundation in my mind now.

Serenity Lodge is a good location in Southern California nestled in the San Bernardino Mountains. This is my first time in a facility like this. They focus on internal issues, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and try to make you look inward to determine where your use comes from.

The facilitators made me want to attend the classes. And you only have to program from certain hours a day. You come up here with problems and if you do the work and utilize your therapists, and resources up here to really try to better your life you can do it. I originally signed up for 37 days. But I did 62.

I love the kitchen staff food is good and I enjoyed my volunteer days there.

If you have a job or need disability they can get you started but don’t forget to follow up with them. And the resources that apply. You can get the ball rolling yourself too!

Highly recommend this location. When you call they’ll even help you with transportation. I do miss Ms. Karen, Jorge, Cesar, Tommy, and Ray. Living in recovery they all speak with passion and from experience and advanced clinical knowledge They truly care about the clients. They will help you change your life. The first step is willingness to change.

So far it seems to be working for me, the real test will be once I go home.
I love all the facilitators the staff are great and patient also.
I did come here by my own choice but the moment I was checked in I was ready to leave.
Challenge accepted!
I can honestly say I am happy I stayed, I learned so much about myself, it has been an emotional journey, the experience the facilitators bring is incomparable.
I do not expect to ever return but i will never forget either.

Overall a great experience for my journey and recovery. The facilitators bring a lot of information that helped me tremendously. It takes some getting used to the program when you first come in but just remember to ask for help and the case managers, therapists, and facilitators are more than willing to help you out. I feel blessed to be apart of the community now. To end I have built potential lifelong friends here from working on ourselves and can always check in with them. If you are looking for a treatment program go to this one!!!

This is my first treatment center. I never thought I would leave a treatment center knowing I would miss it. Serenity Lodge has not only given me tools to deal with addiction but mental health as well. It’s given me new tools in all aspects of life. The facilitators are amazing and if you come here for the right reasons you will bring back a wealth of knowledge. The experience and knowledge and care that the facilitators offer you is amazing! Shout out to Ray, Jorge, Karen, Tommy, Brandon,Jacob,Tim and to my amazing counselor Whitney. Coming to
Serenity Lodge is an experience that will be with me for the rest of my life. Thank you so much Serenity Lodge!
