About Serenity Lane West Portland
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 West Portland 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 West Portland offers two levels of outpatient treatment programs, which both have in person and telehealth options. Their level II intensive outpatient program (IOP) is a 10 week program, which includes group therapy, 1-on-1 counseling, and education about addiction and substance use disorders. Treatment groups meet 3 times a week for 3 hours at a time. Serenity Lane offers morning and evening groups to accommodate schedules. The family support group meets for 3 hours at a time weekly. For their level I outpatient program, individuals meet for 1.5 hours once a week over 12-24 months. It consists of group, individual, and family sessions with the patient’s primary counselor. Through this program, individuals will learn to identify and manage stressful life events and ways to cope with the ups and downs of early recovery. Individuals have the option of participating in a gender-specific women's or men's group. Throughout both programs, individuals will learn about relapse prevention and can receive referrals to community agencies.
