Zinnia Health Serenity Lodge – Lake Okeechobee

I would recommend this place overall. This is the only place like this I’ve ever been to, hopefully the last, too. But the staff is nice, however they are understaffed, so at times can be frustrating for residents and staff alike. The residents are definitely the best part of the entire experience. 7’s is where it’s at. The class facilitators are great people. The days are long. The people are great, and the support is great.

First I just want to say my experience at serenity really had a big impact on me. In a Time when I was at my lowest and I just didn't want to go to a rehab but I knew deep down this was something I needed. When I first got there I didn't want to be there. The brotherhood on that mountain changed that. Even though I was home sick and missing my son the staff and all the guys in there changed everything. I really recommend this place to whoever makes the big decision to go and get help now I'm not saying it's Disneyland and it's fun but I had a lot of memorable experiences that are going to last forever all the deep conversations and all the good laughs shout out to the staff they really understand what it's like and everybody does their best to help you get through the day. To anybody out there thinking about getting help it's not an easy decision but this place can really help you. Once you get through detox it gets easier you get to program and meet all the guys and it really helps good luck to everybody

Overall a great experience, the staff are very friendly and are there for you when needed for the most part. They are a little understaffed so sometimes the staff is not available for everyone. The best part of my experience was the 7’s, which are the meetings with the other clients at 7 am and 7 pm. I would highly recommend Serenity Lodge for anyone struggling with addiction.

Serenity Lodge was a life changing experience. The staff was extremely helpful and insightful. A specific shout out to Ray, you motivated and inspired me more than any other person I've ever come across in 16 years of battling with my addiction. And the fellowship with all of my brothers in the program was truly life changing.

Being in and out of recovery for years I have never been to treatment. Serenity Lodge was my first treatment center and far exceeded my expectations. I didn't know what to expect and I learned way more about myself then I expected and has been a really positive jump start to my sobriety this time around. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a positive and helpful experience.
