Core & Specialized Programs
Virtue at the Pointe offers foundational programs for detox and residential care, alongside a specialized track for veterans. While outpatient services are available at a different location, the Astoria facility is focused on providing an immersive, stable environment for the critical early stages of recovery.
Typical Length: Up to 7 Days
The first step for many, detox provides 24/7 medical supervision from on-site doctors and nurses to manage withdrawal symptoms safely and prepare clients for the next phase of treatment.
Average Stay: 30 Days
The core residential program involves living on-site and engaging in a structured schedule of individual, group, and family therapy. This immersive setting allows clients to focus entirely on healing and building recovery skills.
This specialized track provides a safe space for veterans to process trauma, PTSD, and addiction with peers who share similar experiences. The program utilizes trauma-informed therapies like EMDR to facilitate healing.
Location: Milwaukie, Oregon
As a crucial part of aftercare, Virtue offers Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and sober living options at their sister facility in Milwaukie. These programs provide continued support while clients reintegrate into daily life, reinforcing the skills learned in residential treatment.
