<p><strong>ABOUT OREGON TRAIL RECOVERY</strong></p> <p>Located seven miles south of Portland, Ore., in the small city of Milwaukie, Oregon Trail Recovery offers a <strong>long-term intensive outpatient program (IOP)</strong>, as well as <strong>sober living facilities</strong> for men and women who have already passed through a residential treatment program. <strong>Clinical detox</strong> is also provided if necessary.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Clients must call for a phone assessment in order to be admitted to treatment. Programs are available in <strong>durations of three, six, and nine months,</strong> making it one of Oregon’s <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/OR17.pdf" target="_blank">33 long-term residential, non-hospital treatment programs</a>. During treatment, clients stay in gender-specific housing and participate in <strong>gender-specific programming</strong>. </p> <p>At the beginning of treatment, all residents participate in a partial hospitalization program (PHP). <strong>All clients are required to find work, study opportunities, or volunteer work during their stay.</strong> Once they’ve secured work, they step down to participate in five evening groups per week. </p> <p>Clients attend <strong>six to 10 hours per week of group therapy</strong> and one hour or more a week of individual therapy. As they progress through treatment, clients gradually step-down to less intensive levels of care, with some ultimately participating in one weekly group session and one weekly individual session.</p> <p><strong>Oregon Trail Recovery is a 12-step-based facility,</strong> and all clients are required to actively work with a sponsor and attend 12-step meetings throughout treatment. The 12-step program is used in <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/cbhsq-reports/2017_NSSATS.pdf" target="_blank">73 percent of treatment facilities in the U.S.</a>. </p> <p>Alongside 12-Step participation, the program uses evidence-based therapies, such as <strong>cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT),</strong> mindfulness training, and <a href="http://www.rehabs.com/pro-talk-articles/seeking-safety-an-evidence-based-model-to-address-trauma-and-addiction-together/" target="_blank">Seeking Safety</a>. The center also prides itself on offering <strong>wilderness and adventure therapies and excursions</strong>, as well as holistic options such as art therapy and Native American spiritual ceremonies.</p> <p>Oregon Trail Recovery’s program relies heavily on education options to teach residents life skills to support their recovery. Education assistance is also available. Those who wish to transition to the facility's <strong>sober living facility</strong> must apply. Here, clients use the skills they practiced in treatment and learn how to work together as a household.</p> <p>Assistance with additional <strong>relapse prevention</strong> and <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">aftercare placement</a> is discussed during one-on-one sessions. Clients are encouraged to participate in community groups after treatment as a means of continuing recovery with community support. </p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>A medical director comes to the site twice per week, and the team also includes master’s level therapists and counselors. It is a part of the 29 percent of U.S. facilities that are <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/cbhsq-reports/2017_NSSATS.pdf" target="_blank">accredited by the Joint Commission</a>.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Oregon Trail Recovery offers up to <strong>50 beds</strong>, with some private rooms available.
