Outpatient: Outpatient Services and Recovery Support are a continuation of the planned recovery process for patients and their families. These programs are offered to those patients completing all components of their prescribed treatment. Statistics show that your chances of staying in quality recovery will double if you complete the Recovery Support component of treatment. Intensive Outpatient: Portland\'s Intensive Outpatient Program consists of ten weeks of group therapy, individual counseling and education about substance use disorder. Treatment groups meet three times per week, on a variety of days and times, so just about any work schedule can be accommodated. No groups are held on Fridays. The family support group meets weekly for three hours. Intervention Services: Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict\'s behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need. Aftercare Support: Recovery Support is available for those Serenity Lane patients who complete all prescribed phases of treatment and their spouse/significant other. Recovery Support provides group counseling sessions on a weekly basis for a full year upon completion of Outpatient treatment. Recovery Support is provided weekly for 1 1/2 hours. The Recovery Support Program provides support for identifying and managing stressful life events and to cope with the inevitable ups and downs of early recovery. Recovery is one day at a time. It involves a personal daily recovery program which is developed by you and your counselors.

Family Therapy: Serenity Lane\'s nationally recognized Family Program is an educational program that focuses on repairing relationships damaged by years of destructive chemical dependency. Their program is designed to integrate the patient and the family and to supply vital information about how this disease negatively impacts the family system. The Family Program is offered in a 4-weekend series. Attending all the sessions is highly recommended. This program is an integral part of Serenity Lane\'s Residential Treatment. Group Therapy: Each counselor has a number of patients, who together, form a group. On weekdays, the group will meet each morning and afternoon to explore problems, feelings, changes and conflicts that come up in the treatment process. This is called group therapy and it is a significant part of residential treatment. Patients will be oriented to group and assigned a \"buddy\" (another patient who is further along in treatment). This person will help explain the rules and ease transition into the group environment. Individual Therapy: In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life. Nicotine Replacement Therapy: Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Alcoholism: The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings. Dual Diagnosis: Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person\'s mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Opioid Addiction: Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction. Substance Abuse: Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
