What We Do
Serenity Homes Napa Valley is a Sober Living Home environment located right in the city of Napa.
Johnny Apodaca is the heart and soul of SHNV. A prior addict himself, he guided 1000+ chemically dependent adults to stay sober in the 22 years he has operated SHNV. He gets to know each resident and has run out of space on the wall behind his desk for the individual photos of his prior residents. He can point at any picture and tell you the story of that person and knows where many are now. His enthusiasm for the work he does is evident in the first few minutes you meet him. His personal satisfaction results from helping his fellow human being get to a place of restoration, regain family relationships, reunite with children, and reintegrate into society.
In 2008, when he was in danger of losing two homes to foreclosure, he staged a hunger strike for 25 days. He pitched a tent on Evans Avenue near the Silverado Trail. Supporters put donation jars near cash registers in neighborhood stores, and people stopped by to visit with him and leave donations. He raised $60,000, only stopping when his doctor said it was too dangerous to continue. Nothing can dim his enthusiasm and dedication to his focus on helping others achieve lasting sobriety. When you meet Johnny A., his confidence and open nature are readily visible. He answers any question with frank honesty. After 22 years in this rehab arena, he knows what works and what doesn’t, and he knows the stages of healing that residents must work through.
Serenity Homes of Napa Valley is a State of California Non-Profit 501(c) (3) Corporation. Johnny receives no government funds or benefits to run his Sober Living Homes. With the rents from his residents, the help of his community, and invaluable advice from his Board of Directors, he continues his full-speed-ahead approach. The need for recovery from addiction continues to grow. Johnny could fill more houses if he had them; he continues to look for donations and creative ideas from supporters.
