Serenity Homes of Napa Valley
The premiere sober Living environment provider
in the Napa valley
saving one life at at time since 1996
For almost thirty years, Serenity Homes has provided transitional housing and a sober living environment for over 4,500 men and women in early recovery.
Serenity Homes is neither a detox nor a rehabilitation center; rather, we are our participants’ next step on the journey of sobriety, with the goal of returning to the community as clean and sober, productive members of society. Our participants remain in our program for a minimum of thirty days to a maximum of two years.
We are the nest in which our participants’ sobriety can grow and strengthen, until they are ready to fly on their own.
Our new participants typically have been clean and sober for a minimum of thirty days and come to us at a critical point in their sobriety: the transition from a highly structured environment, such as rehabilitation centers, back into the community. We provide a Sober Living Program by which participants can successfully transition without reverting to former habits, environments and associations.
We provide a safe, structured 12-Step based living environment at an affordable cost, sustainable by participants in early recovery, giving them breathing room to focus on their recovery and heal, while also encouraging their productivity and financial responsibility.

The story of Serenity Homes is compelling. In 1996, Johnny Apodaca, the founder of Serenity Homes, began to provide shelter for homeless people in recovery with one fundamental requirement: the participants must remain clean and sober. In addition, the participants must follow the following rules and help themselves by:
Remaining clean and sober, as verified by random testing,
Active participation in a 12 Step Recovery Program (Alcoholics Anonymous, or Narcotics Anonymous,) attending a minimum of three meetings per week, working the steps with a sponsor and having a commitment at meetings,
Employment, or enrollment in academic, vocational or mandated recovery programs, at least three days per week,
Assuming personal responsibility for keeping themselves and their living environment neat and clean, and
Following all house rules.
Failure to adhere to the above rules may result in disciplinary action up to and including immediate termination of participation.
Participants in good standing are allowed one night per week away from the home and one night per week of a spouse or child sleep over.
