Patient Rights and Confidentiality

Serenity Lane treats patients, family member and staff with respect and provides a safe and supportive environment for your treatment. Patient rights and responsibility are outlined in the handouts you receive during your initial meeting with staff in Eugene.

Serenity Lane is committed to respecting patient confidentiality as mandated by state and federal laws. Serenity Lane upholds these standards in all communications and records.

Medical Observation and Assessment

Your initial assessment and evaluation will take place in our Detox Center. You will remain in Detox until you are medically cleared (a minimum of one day). Serenity Lane physicians will coordinate care with your Primary Care Physician and other involved caregivers.

Medications

Please talk to your admissions counselor about any medications you are currently taking and bring all medications that you are currently taking. Our medical staff will provide and manage your medication(s) throughout your stay. Controlled substances are not allowed.
Do not bring over-the-counter items like Tylenol, Ibuprofen, antacids or Imodium as they are available to you upon request.
You may bring multivitamins and no more than two herbal or nutritional supplements, however protein powder or creatine is not allowed. All supplements must be unopened and sealed. Open containers will be confiscated.
You must have a credit card or debit card available upon admission to pay for medication refills, prescription co-pays or any new medications that may be ordered by the physician.
If your insurance provider issues separate cards for medical benefits and prescription benefits please bring both cards with you at the time of admission.
If you are taking Subutex, Suboxone or Buprenorphine at home do not bring your prescription with you. If these medications are prescribed for you while in treatment, DEA regulations require these medications be ordered by Serenity Lane's treating physicians.

Patients who wish to smoke tobacco cigarettes, chew tobacco or vape may do so outside in designated smoking areas only. Withdrawal Management patients can visit a designated smoking area, escorted or on their own based on the level of their treatment. Once you have transferred to Residential Treatment, smoking is allowed only in designated areas outside when you are not in programming.

Only manufacturer-produced vapes are allowed. They must be prepackaged and unopened before being allowed on campus. Standard nicotine styles only are allowed and vape juice is strictly prohibited. Matches are not allowed anywhere on campus.

Patients should bring enough tobacco products, including nicotine replacement therapy products, for their stay. Tobacco runs do happen from time to time.
