Testimonials

"Before my wife found Serenity Oaks, I felt like I was losing her to alcohol. Our home was filled with tension, broken promises, and so much pain. I watched the woman I love struggle, and no matter how much I wanted to help, nothing seemed to work. She would try to stop drinking, but without the right support, she kept relapsing. It was heartbreaking for both of us."
"When she decided to go to Serenity Oaks in Frisco, Texas, I was hopeful but nervous. I didn’t know what to expect, but from the moment she got there, something changed. The structure, support, and community of strong women in recovery gave her what I never could—a safe space to heal, learn, and rebuild her life."

Serenity Oaks didn’t just help her stop drinking—it helped her become the woman, wife, and mother she was always meant to be."

"For most of my life, my mom wasn’t really my mom—at least not the way I needed her to be. Her addiction to drugs and alcohol took her away from me, even when she was physically there. I remember broken promises, missed school events, and nights wondering if she was okay. It felt like I was always waiting for the next crisis, and eventually, I stopped hoping things would change."
"But then my mom found Serenity Oaks. At first, I didn’t believe it would be different this time. I had seen her try and fail so many times before. But something was different. She finally had the right support—the structure, the accountability, and a community of women who truly understood her struggles. At Serenity Oaks, she didn’t just get sober; she learned how to live again without drugs and alcohol."
"Slowly, I started seeing glimpses of the mom I used to know—the mom who laughed, who showed up, who wanted to be present in my life. She called just to check in, not because she needed something. She kept her word. She apologized for the past, not just with words but with actions. And for the first time in years, I felt like I had a mom again."
"Serenity Oaks in Dallas, Texas, didn’t just save my mother—it gave me back the relationship I had been missing for so long. I’m proud of her, and I’m grateful every day that she found the help she needed. If you have a parent struggling with addiction, don’t give up hope. Recovery is possible, and healing is real."

"Watching my daughter struggle with opioid addiction was the most heartbreaking experience of my life. I felt helpless as I watched her fade away, losing her laughter, her spark, and eventually, herself. I spent countless nights praying, worrying, and wondering if she would ever find her way back. No matter how much I tried to help, addiction had such a tight grip on her that I feared I was losing her forever."

-T Barnes 2022

"For most of my life, I didn’t understand my mom’s addiction. It wasn’t like the stories you hear about hard drugs—she wasn’t passed out on the floor or missing for days. But marijuana had a hold on her in ways I didn’t fully see until she got sober. She was always distracted, always distant, and always choosing to numb out instead of being present. I felt like I was second to her addiction, like I wasn’t enough to make her want to change."
"When she decided to go to Serenity Oaks in Dallas, Texas, I didn’t know what to expect. I wasn’t sure if she would really change, or if this would just be another temporary fix. But something was different this time. The women at Serenity Oaks gave her more than just a place to stay—they gave her accountability, structure, and a real chance at healing. They helped her see why she had been using for so long and taught her healthier ways to cope with life."
"Over time, I started to see the mom I had been missing for years. She was more engaged, more present, and more willing to take responsibility for the ways her addiction had affected our family. For the first time in a long time, she listened. She wasn’t escaping reality anymore—she was facing it, and she was doing the work to stay sober."
"Today, my mom is different. She’s clear-headed, emotionally available, and committed to living a better life. She shows up for me in ways she never did before, and our relationship is stronger because of it. I’m proud of her, and I’m so grateful to Serenity Oaks for helping her find her way back. If you have a parent struggling with addiction, don’t give up hope. Change is possible, and recovery is real."

"My sister’s battle with alcohol nearly destroyed her. I watched her lose herself—her laughter, her ambition, and her spirit. She went from being the person I could always count on to someone I barely recognized. Our family tried everything to help, but nothing seemed to work. She would promise to quit, only to fall back into the same cycle of drinking, regret, and isolation. It was heartbreaking to watch."
"When she decided to go to Serenity Oaks in Frisco, Texas, I wasn’t sure what to expect. We had been through treatment centers before, and I was afraid this would be just another temporary fix. But Serenity Oaks was different. It wasn’t just a place to stay—it was a place where she could truly heal. The structured environment, the support of other women in recovery, and the focus on personal growth made all the difference."
"Little by little, I started to see my sister come back. She was learning to live without alcohol, facing the pain she had been running from, and rebuilding her life. She found strength in the community at Serenity Oaks, and for the first time in years, she had real hope for the future."
"Now, my sister has been sober for over a year. She has a steady job, she’s taking care of herself, and most importantly, she’s happy again. Our relationship has healed, and I finally have my sister back. I am forever grateful to Serenity Oaks for giving her the foundation she needed to turn her life around. If you have a loved one struggling with addiction, know that recovery is possible, and places like Serenity Oaks can truly change lives."

"Watching my wife struggle with cocaine addiction was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to go through. The woman I fell in love with—the one who was full of life, love, and kindness—slowly disappeared. Our marriage was filled with broken promises, late nights, and constant worry. No matter how much I begged her to stop, addiction had its grip on her, and I felt completely helpless."
"When she decided to go to Serenity Oaks in Plano, Texas, I was hopeful but cautious. We had been through treatment before, but nothing seemed to stick. But this time was different. At Serenity Oaks, she wasn’t just going through the motions—she was doing the deep, difficult work to heal. The structure, accountability, and support she received there gave her the stability she needed to stay sober. She learned to face her pain instead of numbing it, to rebuild her self-worth, and to truly embrace recovery."
"As the weeks went by, I started to see the woman I fell in love with come back to life. She became more present, more honest, and more committed to making things right—not just with me, but with herself.

"As a therapist, I’ve worked with many individuals battling addiction, but one client’s journey stands out—her battle with meth addiction was one of the most challenging I had ever seen. When she first came to me, she was broken, hopeless, and trapped in the cycle of relapse. Meth had taken everything from her—her health, her relationships, and her sense of self-worth. She wanted to change, but she didn’t believe she could."
"That’s when she found Serenity Oaks in Dallas, Texas. From the moment she arrived, she was surrounded by structure, accountability, and a community of women who understood exactly what she was going through. The team at Serenity Oaks didn’t just give her a place to stay; they gave her the tools to rebuild her life. Through daily support, therapy, and the guidance of others in recovery, she slowly began to heal."
"I watched as she transformed before my eyes. She started taking responsibility for her actions, mending broken relationships, and rediscovering her purpose. The chaos and desperation that once consumed her were replaced with hope, confidence, and a deep commitment to sobriety. She worked through the trauma that fueled her addiction, learned healthy coping skills, and found strength she didn’t know she had."
"Today, she is over a year sober. She has rebuilt relationships with her family, found stable employment, and most importantly, she believes in herself again. Serenity Oaks was the turning point in her recovery, and I truly believe she wouldn’t be where she is today without it. As a therapist, I can’t emphasize enough the impact of a supportive sober living environment. Serenity Oaks doesn’t just help women get sober—they help them build a foundation for lifelong recovery."
-U Kelly LPC, CSAT 2023

"As a psychologist, I’ve worked with many clients struggling with addiction, but one case in particular stands out—a woman I’ve worked with for years who was battling pain medication addiction. Her dependency started after a serious injury, but over time, it turned into a full-blown addiction. She tried to manage it on her own, but the cycle of using, shame, and relapse was constant. It was heartbreaking to see someone so talented and strong continue to spiral despite her best efforts."
"When she came to Serenity Oaks Women’s Sober Living in Frisco, Texas, I was cautiously optimistic. I knew she needed more than just therapy; she needed a structured environment, a supportive community, and space to heal. What Serenity Oaks provided was exactly that. The therapeutic programs, daily structure, and accountability were exactly what she needed to break free from the grip of pain medication."
"Watching her progress has been nothing short of inspiring. At Serenity Oaks, she learned how to manage the emotional and physical pain that had originally led her to use. She faced her fears and vulnerabilities in a way that allowed her to heal and grow. More importantly, she became part of a community of women who truly understood her struggles. This shared experience was pivotal in her recovery."
"Today, she is over a year sober. She has rebuilt her life, restored relationships, and most importantly, rediscovered herself. Her strength and resilience have been extraordinary, and Serenity Oaks played a huge role in her recovery. As a psychologist, I can say that a supportive, structured environment like Serenity Oaks is essential for lasting recovery. If you’re struggling with addiction, know that it’s possible to heal—just like my client, with the right support, you can overcome anything."
