Serenity Lane Bend

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 Bend 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 including virtual mental health therapy.
Serenity Lane Bend offers two levels of outpatient programs in a hybrid setting with some days of treatment being in-person and some being via telehealth. 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 Mondays from 6-9PM. For their Level I outpatient program, individuals meet once or twice a week for 1.5 hour sessions. This program meets for 12-24 months and 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. Throughout both programs, individuals can participate in a 12-step program, learn about relapse prevention, and receive consultation and referrals to community agencies.
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 family programming sessions on Mondays 6-9PM 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. For individuals who are mandated to treatment, they offer a “Blue Flag” program where patients' progress and attendance can be monitored and reported.
