Casa Serena helped save my life. I continue to participate at Casa Serena today because of the love and support I was given as a resident. The program is comprehensive and helped me learn how to live a purposeful and sober life. I highly recommend the program to other women who are suffering from addiction. The family program is amazing and helps heal wonder of all who are affected by the disease.
