<p><strong>ABOUT THE SALVATION ARMY PORTLAND'S ADULT REHABILITATION CENTER</strong></p> <p>The Salvation Army operates a nationwide network of Adult Rehabilitation Centers (ARCs), including locations in <a href="https://www.rehabs.com/listings/the-salvation-army-reno-s-adult-rehabilitation-program-2334339083/" target="_blank">Nevada</a>, <a href="https://www.rehabs.com/listings/the-salvation-army-orlando-s-adult-rehabilitation-center-446124747/" target="_blank">Florida</a>, and <a href="https://www.rehabs.com/listings/the-salvation-army-richmond-s-adult-rehabilitation-program-4144375725/" target="_blank">Virginia</a>. The ARC of Portland, Oregon, provides <strong>long-term residential treatment to adult men</strong> struggling with substance use disorder. It's one of 125 substance abuse treatment facilities in Oregon (<a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/OR17.pdf" target="_blank">55 percent</a> of all treatment facilities in the state) to provide specialized programming for men. Detox services are not offered on-site.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Before admission, clients may undergo an <strong>initial assessment</strong> to ensure the facility offers an adequate level of care, as treatment is not suitable for individuals struggling with chronic <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">co-occurring mental health disorders</a>. In order to participate in the program, clients must commit to at least <strong>six months of residential treatment</strong>. Residential programs that are not hospital-based and last longer than 30 days are available in <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/OR17.pdf" target="_blank">just 15 percent</a> of substance abuse treatment facilities in the Oregon.</p> <p>The ARC of Portland's faith-based, residential program adheres to a <strong>therapeutic community model of treatment</strong>, which is characterized by a supportive, peer-driven, and highly structured environment. Treatment programming consists of a structured schedule of <strong>individual and group counseling sessions</strong>, as well as education classes, leisure time activities, and spiritual guidance workshops.</p> <p>Treatment is also largely founded in the <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/did-aa-save-my-life/" target="_blank">12-step</a> model of recovery. Clients are introduced to the fellowship's philosophy and practices, attend <strong>12-step meetings</strong>, study 12-step literature, and perform associated "step-work." Clients may also attend church services, participate in <strong>Bible studies</strong>, and give devotionals. </p> <p>Typically, the Salvation Army’s ARC programs incorporate <strong>work therapy</strong> into programming, usually after 30 days of treatment. While continuing to participate in required treatment activities, residents are assigned a <strong>full-time work schedule</strong> to support the Salvation Army organization. In most cases, residents assist with the daily operations of the organization’s thrift stores, which help fund treatment services. In 2017, a little less than half (<a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/OR17.pdf" target="_blank">45 percent</a>) of substance abuse treatment facilities in Oregon provided employment counseling or training for its clients.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided by the facility regarding its treatment staff.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Salvation Army's Adult Rehabilitation Centers typically house residents in simple <strong>dorm-like facilities</strong>. The sole loved one polled by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing gave the facility a perfect five out of five-star rating for its overall cleanliness and upkeep.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>While Rehabs.com has not yet received any reviews from this facility’s alumni, the Portland ARC earned an average rating of <strong>3.9 out of five stars</strong> based on nine Google reviews<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small>. The two former clients who left comments had differing opinions of the rehab — one praised the program and credited it with saving their life, while the other criticized the program and staff for having a condescending attitude.</p> <p>On Yelp<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small>, Portland's ARC received three five-star ratings. In a representative review, Brain wrote: "The Salvation Army's Portland ARC was instrumental in saving my life...My eyes were opened to the love of God and a pathway to recovery through 12 step programs."</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>S.D.D., the one loved one surveyed by Rehabs.com to date, gave the Portland ARC a mostly positive review. While she awarded the rehab low ratings of two out of five stars for its holistic offerings and its connectivity and visitor policies, she gave it four or five stars for its family participation, its staff's level of training and experience, its 12-step inclusion, and its faith-based programing. "It worked!" she noted.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>ARC of Portland is <strong>free to residents</strong>. The residential program is supported entirely by revenue gained through Salvation Army thrift stores and private donations.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=The+Salvation+Army%27s+Adult+Rehabilitation+Centers+in+Portland%2C+OR&oq=The+Salvation+Army%27s+Adult+Rehabilitation+Centers+in+Portland%2C+OR&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i64l3.228j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x5495a41bd049bf75:0xb972a546011f7a49,1,,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-salvation-army-portland-adult-rehabilitation-center-portland" target="_blank">https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-salvation-army-portland-adult-rehabilitation-center-portland</a></small></p>
