A Unique, Fitness-Focused Continuum of Care
Tree House Recovery PDX offers a structured path to recovery for men, centered on building physical and mental fortitude. Their programs are designed to provide intensive support in a real-world setting, transitioning clients from highly supervised living to greater independence while maintaining a strong connection to therapy and peer support.
Minimum Stay: 90 Days
This is the core program where clients live in supervised, house-like settings. The daily schedule is rigorous, starting at 6 am and running until 5 pm, packed with 3-4 hours of fitness, four individual therapy sessions per week, group therapy, and life skills training like cooking and chores.
Program Length: Typically 3 Months
Serving as a vital step-down level of care, the IOP program provides ongoing clinical support and accountability. It helps men integrate back into their lives while reinforcing the healthy habits, coping mechanisms, and strong peer connections built during the residential phase.
Tree House Recovery offers dedicated programs for veterans and police officers. These tracks address the unique cultural, professional, and trauma-related challenges faced by these populations, providing a safe and understanding environment for them to heal alongside their peers.
Environment & Accommodations
Tree House Recovery provides a structured, yet comfortable living environment in residential homes located in Portland neighborhoods. This setup avoids a clinical, institutional feel, promoting a sense of community and real-world accountability. With a small capacity of just 15 beds, the program fosters a tight-knit brotherhood. Clients live together in these houses and travel to a separate clinic for their daily therapy and programming. The focus is on building life skills, so men are responsible for grocery shopping, cooking their own meals, and maintaining the household through chores.
Clients live in comfortable residential houses, creating a personal and less institutional atmosphere that prepares them for sober life.
All rooms are shared with roommates, which is a core part of the program designed to foster accountability, peer support, and brotherhood.
The entire program, including housing and clinical groups, is exclusively for men, creating a focused and supportive setting.
