Serenity Park Recovery Center isn’t the biggest facility in Arkansas. We’re not trying to be. We’re a 20-bed men’s residential program that’s deliberately small, intentionally personal, and built around a belief that the quality of care matters more than the size of the building.
We’ve been part of the Arkansas recovery community in one form or another since 1972. What we’ve learned in that time is that recovery happens in relationships. It happens when someone finally feels seen, understood, and genuinely cared about — by a clinical team that’s invested in their outcome and a peer community that understands the struggle from the inside.
That’s what we’re building here. Come see for yourself.
We’re located on W. Roosevelt Road in Little Rock — accessible from across the state and easy to reach from surrounding areas including Memphis, Fort Smith, Fayetteville, and Texarkana. Arkansas is a small enough state that no matter where you’re coming from, you’re not far.
And if you’re coming from out of state, we’ve helped men get here from surrounding states including Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas.
If you need help figuring out logistics, our admissions team can walk you through it.
We’re located next to the county jail and across the street from the cemetery. That’s not a coincidence we shy away from; it’s one we lean into. Our famous sign out front has three arrows pointing in three directions: one toward the jail, one toward the cemetery, and one toward us.
It says what we believe: there are three places you end up when addiction goes untreated. Two of them are bad. We’re the third option.
Serenity Park Recovery Center has roots that go back to 1972, when Joe McQuany — a prominent figure in the Arkansas recovery community — first established a treatment program on this site. McQuany was a pioneer in recovery advocacy in Arkansas, and the work he started here became part of the fabric of the state’s recovery community for decades.
The facility closed in 2013. For six years, the building sat empty.
In 2019, Tara Tinnin purchased the property and reopened it, not to trade on its history, but to build something new on a foundation that already meant something.
Under new leadership and with a renewed clinical mission, Serenity Park reopened as a men’s-only residential program with a clear commitment: to provide the kind of individualized, genuinely compassionate care that the treatment industry often talks about but rarely delivers.
We’re still building that. Every day.
