🐾 Hanging with Hazel 🐾

This week, we talked a lot about where we put our energy. Turns out, giving too much attention to things we can’t control can make recovery a lot harder. My humans practiced focusing on what is in their control—like their choices, their boundaries, and how they take care of themselves each day. I think that’s pretty smart… I only chase the ball I can catch 🎾

They also talked about values and motivation—figuring out what really matters now, and how to line actions up with those things. Recovery isn’t just about stopping old behaviors, it’s about building a life that actually feels meaningful.

Another big theme? One day at a time. The group reflected on past missteps (no judgment here—I’ve knocked over a few things myself 🐾), and focused on what they can do today to build a healthier future.

But my favorite part this week was seeing connection and support in action. When one of my humans was having a hard time—the rest started sharing encouragement, and showing real care for each other. It reminded me that recovery isn’t something you do alone… it’s something you do together.

From what I observed (very professionally, of course), the strongest progress happens when people:
💙 Focus on what they can control
💙 Stay aligned with their values
💙 Take it one day at a time
💙 Show up for each other

I’ll be back next week 🐾

🌠Samantha Lennox, Office Manager🌠

Sam is dedicated to creating a structured, supportive, and welcoming environment for both clients and staff. Her leadership is grounded in respect—ensuring that every interaction reflects dignity, fairness, and compassion.

💬 “Respect to me means creating a safe, consistent, and judgment-free environment where every individual—clients and staff alike—feels seen, heard, and valued. It’s about recognizing that each person who walks through our doors carries a unique story, often shaped by struggle, resilience, and the effort to change. Respect shows up in the way I communicate with empathy, maintain confidentiality, and uphold dignity even in difficult situations. It also means supporting my team with fairness, accountability, and appreciation, so they can do their work effectively and compassionately. Ultimately, respect is the foundation that allows trust to grow, and without trust, meaningful recovery and collaboration simply cannot happen.”

At Serenity, respect is the foundation of trust—and Sam lives that value every day.

🐾 Hanging with Hazel

Hi friends… it’s me, Hazel 🐶 Emotional Support Specialist, reporting for duty!

I had a busy week sitting in on sessions with the Admiral 3.1 clients—and yes, I took my job very seriously (as you can see… I even took notes 📝).

This week, we talked a lot about guilt and shame. I heard how those feelings can sneak in and make recovery harder, sometimes leading people back into old patterns. But I also saw something really important—clients working hard to face those feelings instead of running from them.

We also explored vulnerability… which, if you ask me, is kind of like when I roll over for belly rubs—it takes trust. Clients shared how opening up, even when it’s uncomfortable, is helping them grow and stay connected in their recovery.

One of my favorite parts of the week was when everyone worked together to make dinner. Things didn’t go as planned (I noticed right away… no ingredients means no snacks 😅), but instead of getting stuck, the group adapted. They worked as a team, came up with a new plan, and made it happen. I was very impressed.

From what I’ve learned this week, recovery is a lot like being part of a pack—
you stay flexible, lean on each other, and keep moving forward… one step (or paw) at a time. 🐾💚

🌅Alicia Lebon, Peer Recovery Support Specialist🌅

Alicia brings lived experience, compassion, and unwavering support to every individual she works with. Her ability to connect through empathy helps create a safe space where clients feel seen, understood, and encouraged to take that first step.

💬 “Having empathy and compassion is very important to me. I want to continue being a source of hope and support for individuals struggling in life, because sometimes all someone needs is for just one person to believe in them to take that first step toward recovery.”

At Serenity, empathy is at the heart of healing—and Alicia embodies that in everything she does.

🌷 Holidays can be joyful — but they can also be triggering.

If Easter feels overwhelming this year, remember you’re not alone. Recovery is built through connection, self-care, and showing up for yourself and others.

A few ways to support your recovery this weekend:
• Get to a meeting
• Be of service to others
• Practice meditation or self-care
• Enjoy time with family and friends in alcohol-free spaces

Serenity Treatment Center is here for individuals and families navigating substance use and recovery.

🌅Morpho Moments🌅

In our Morpho Men's 3.1 program, healing happens through experience—not just conversation.

In this group, clients created clay representations of their coping skills:
breathing techniques
mindfulness
music
nourishment
and connection.

Making these tools tangible helps reinforce how and when to use them in real-life moments.

Recovery is built through practice—one skill at a time.

🐾 Hanging with Hazel 🐾

Hey everyone, Hazel here 🐶💛

This week, I got to spend lots of time outside with my Admiral House crew... We soaked up the sunshine, played some basketball (I mostly supervised 🐾), and even slowed things down with some quiet, peaceful moments of meditation. I noticed how much everyone is learning to stay present—and how that helps when things feel overwhelming.

My favorite part? Getting to be right there with them.
Sometimes I play, sometimes I just sit close… but either way, I’m there to remind them they’re not alone.

I also listened in on some really important conversations about stigma— From what I can tell, it means people sometimes get judged unfairly. But these guys? They’re learning to push past that and keep moving forward anyway. (Again… very proud 🐶)

They’ve also been going to outside support meetings, building connections and finding more people who understand what they’re going through. I can tell those connections matter.

From what I see, recovery looks like:
☀️ fresh air
🏀 teamwork
🧘‍♂️ finding calm
💬 honest conversations
🐾 and a little extra support (that’s me)

I may just be the house pup… but I see it all. And I believe in every single one of them.

See you next week,
Hazel 🐶

🌠Brandon Burnette, Apollo Program Director🌠

Brandon leads with a strong belief that collaboration is essential to both effective leadership and lasting recovery. By bringing together teams, clients, and community partners, he helps ensure every individual receives connected, comprehensive care.

💬 “Collaboration, to me, is the foundation of effective leadership and meaningful recovery work both within our program and across the broader continuum of care. As a Program Director, I view collaboration as bringing together clinical teams, operations, and clients to foster open communication, mutual respect, and shared goals. It also means building strong relationships with outside providers—detox, inpatient, PHP, IOP, and community resources—to ensure seamless transitions into our program and continued support when clients step down. By working together internally and externally, we create a unified system of care that supports long-term recovery and better outcomes for those we serve.”

At Serenity, collaboration strengthens everything we do—and Brandon exemplifies that every day.

🐾 Hanging with Hazel 🐾

Hazel here—your favorite Admiral House foster dog checking in 🌟

This week, the guys spent time working together to prepare a full family-style dinner—planning, cooking, and making sure everything came together just right. From my usual spot (supervising, of course 🐶), I got to see a lot more than just food being made…

I saw teamwork.
I saw patience.
I saw people showing up for each other.

Between cooking together, welcoming a new member into the house, and taking time to slow down through meditation and reflection, there was one thing that stood out most—everyone is learning to take things one day at a time.

And that matters more than anything.

Because sometimes progress looks like:
✨ Trying something new
✨ Asking for help
✨ Sitting at the table together
✨ Just showing up

I may just be the house pup… but I see the effort. And trust me—it’s something to be proud of 🐾

One paw at a time 🐶

🌟Emily Swift, Office Manager🌟

Emily plays a vital role in creating a welcoming, organized, and supportive environment from the very first point of contact. Her commitment to integrity ensures that every interaction reflects the respect and dignity our clients deserve.

💬 “To me, integrity is about making sure everything is handled the right way, even when things get complicated. It is so important to me to make sure our clients feel safe, respected, and heard from their very first contact with us. My goal is to protect the privacy and dignity of each person who walks through our doors. By being a steady, honest presence, I aim to create a foundation of trust that allows our clients to focus on their recovery and our team to focus on their care.”

At Serenity, integrity isn’t just a value—it’s a daily practice, and Emily embodies that in every aspect of her work.
