About this facility
Serenity Lane was co-founded by Tom Kerns, who was inspired after he lost his dad at a young age to alcoholism to make addiction treatment services accessible to all. The center admits patients 7 days a week with the possibility of same day admission. Serenity Lane Eugene provides a variety of outpatient treatment options for clients seeking recovery from substance use disorders, individuals with a dual diagnosis of a substance use disorder with another mental health concern, and those with only a mental health concern. The center has many virtual options at all levels of outpatient treatment including virtual mental health therapy and offers both daytime and evening programming. They offer confidential initial screening, assessments with care planning, and 12-step participation.
Serenity Lane Eugene offers two levels of outpatient programming for alcohol and drug addiction treatment. Their level II intensive outpatient program (IOP) is a 10 week program that includes group therapy, individual counseling, and education about addiction. Treatment groups meet 3 times a week for 3 hours per session. During treatment, individuals may be asked to submit a urine sample for alcohol/drug testing. This cost is not included in treatment, however, insurance may cover a percentage of the charge. Throughout treatment, patients and their family members are expected to attend a weekly family education seminar to develop community-based support. Topics covered in the group include acceptance of self as an alcoholic/addict, patients’ recovery plan, relapse prevention, adjustment to a sober lifestyle, and more. Staff will guide patients in developing a recovery plan and patients are encouraged to make appointments with their counselor as needed. At approximately mid-treatment, patients will present an autobiography of how alcoholism/other drug addiction has affected their lives. Towards the end of treatment, individuals will review their recovery plan with their counselor, address any questions or concerns, and receive any referrals for ongoing community services, like individual or marriage counseling.
The center’s level I outpatient program meets once a week for 1.5 hour sessions to learn how to identify and manage stressful life events and learn ways to cope with the ups and downs of early recovery. Spouses and significant others are encouraged to attend sessions.
Serenity Lane offers fun events, alumni recovery support meetings, service opportunities, and helpful tips for growing in recovery through their alumni services with some virtual options. In addition, individuals will have access to recovery support for one full year after completion of outpatient treatment.
Serenity Lane offers a family program at no additional cost, which incorporates education, therapy, and support to rebuild family relationships and communication. They also offer support groups for families. Spouses and significant others can attend their weekly family support sessions and family sessions can be scheduled with the patient’s primary counselor as needed.
The DUII education and diversion programs at Serenity Lane are certified by the state of Oregon and fulfill all court and DMV requirements. Serenity Lane offers DMV certified diversion, treatment groups, and education groups.
