At Arbor House Portland our mission is to provide culturally-specific and gender-specific residential and wrap-around recovery services for women, non-binary, and femme-identifying individuals in recovery from substance use disorder.

We work from a relational-cultural perspective that emphasizes connection, community, wellness, and mental health services along with the wisdom of traditional 12-step approaches.


Since 2018 we’ve been providing a continuum of services that includes peer-support, built-in mental health services, resume-building and vocational guidance, assistance in navigating social services, assistance in navigating criminal and family court, access to personal trainer and on-site gym, and integration into our alumni network and the greater Portland recovery community.

SCOPE OF SERVICES:

  • Live-in onsite house manager

  • Onsite addictions/mental health counselor (biweekly meetings)

  • Onsite Certified Recovery Mentor (CRM) (biweekly meetings)

  • Onsite drug and alcohol testing (twice-a-week at minimum)

  • Rich alumni network with opportunities for sponsorship, mentorship, and peer support.

  • Onsite house meeting (once-a-week)

  • Onsite gym and certified personal trainer

  • Resume building and job placement services

  • Assistance navigating social services

  • Assistance navigating criminal court and family court

Our holistic approach to sobriety is built out of a belief that recovery is not only about ending use - but is also about creating the structure and foundation for a fulfilling and rewarding future.

At Arbor House Portland, we have an inherent anti-racist and anti-oppression mission, embedding empowerment and social justice into every aspect of our services.
