Anonapalooza is an annual event conceived to support the efforts of those struggling with recovery from alcohol and drugs along with those who love and live with them, and to help raise awareness of those who are fortunate enough to have never experienced either. Our goal is to help those with a desire to do so, to know a new freedom and a new happiness, providing hope to those that have lost sight of what hope is.
All proceeds from this annual celebration of family, music, art, and fun will benefit Serenity House in Addison. While residents of Serenity House are required to pay a portion of their lodging and care, without outside contributions their mission would not be possible. We are of the belief that the attainment of sobriety is not something that can be done without the help of others and Serenity House is the only facility of it’s kind in DuPage County offering a comprehensive continuum of care for adult men and women recovering from chemical dependence and substance abuse.
Serenity House was founded in 1985 as a facility to assist individuals with recovery from drugs and alcohol who were homeless, indigent, and without resources. Today Serenity House has grown to what is currently a 107 bed residential facility for men and women, with over 250 individuals participating in outpatient programs. Serenity House’s highly structured programs are designed to move individuals toward sobriety and the positive tasks of life, rebuilding families, strengthening relationships, and to become productive members of their community. While we believe that those that are chemically dependant are not responsible for their disease, they are responsible for their own recovery and the efforts needed to become self sufficient.
