Serenity Lane Salem

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 Salem 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 Salem 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 for 1.5 hours once a week over 12-24 months via telehealth. 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.
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 up to two years 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.
This center offers special training for business and industry through their employer services program. Training options include recognizing signs of substance abuse, coordinating FMLA, reintegrating employees into the workplace, and more.

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Serenity Lane Salem offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Serenity Lane Salem works with 24 insurance providers.
