The stress of civilian life after a career in the military increases the chances of substance use disorder (SUD) for veterans. The most common type of SUD among veterans is alcohol. The Nation Institute of Drug Abuse reported (1) that 65% of veterans who enter treatment claim alcohol as their substance of choice. That is nearly double that of the general population. SUD for alcohol takes many forms. For example, binge drinking is when someone has multiple drinks in a short time (4-5 plus drinks or more, 1-2 hours). Veterans who have experienced combat violence, injuries, and the traumas of service are at risk for developing substance use disorders to many substances in an effort to cope. Thankfully, effective SUD treatment is available. To learn more about Veterans Rehab options in Portland, call (503) 859-2472

Tree House offers a 3 to 5-month off-base and off-site from VA services outpatient SUD program in Portland, Oregon. For veterans who are looking for a community of brotherhood and safety, Tree House Recovery PDX may be the perfect option. Our treatment program keeps clients busy and engaged in team-building activities; we have designed our approaches to therapy to help veterans resolve the core issues of addiction while helping them build new relationships and develop the skills to integrate into the community. 

Our curriculum-based program will help you effectively cope with your trauma, balance your chemistry, and build a strong peer support network that will last a lifetime. It will allow you to understand the root causes of your SUD and PTSD. You will build tools for relapse prevention that will work for you. Most importantly, you will be able to assimilate these skills into your daily life as you learn and master them—all with the help of your brotherhood and PDX treatment team.

The true goal of recovery is to live life to the fullest and without limits, to be happy and free from your addiction. Not live a life of “can’t do’s.” One of the best ways to view SUD treatment is to view it as the opportunity to optimize your performance as a whole person. Some people need direct guidance and assistance to step away from all that is going wrong to focus on getting well and doing right. Others may be able to continue their daily lives while participating in treatment. Every process is individualized. Your level of need will determine the best approach for you. Tree House Recovery has several unique options to assist you in obtaining an optimized and healthy end-state. Call us for a confidential assessment, and we will start mapping your path to health right now. 

Continued-Care resources  include:

• • Sober living homes.
  • Support groups
  • Sober fitness groups
  • Family support groups

You expect to spend 3 to 5 months in treatment, depending on your situation and level of necessity. Our shorter program (90-days) may be the best fit for your situation. Although, it is crucial to understand that you may need to dedicate more time, and our 5-month program may be a better route. Our over-the-phone assessment will help you to determine the best course to take.

Benefits Tree House Recovery PDX

• THR PDX can be a stepping stone from detox/residential care, giving you structure, accountability, and community.
• You can pause your life and focus on yourself. Unlike residential programs, you get exposed to the world while having the support systems to increase the likelihood of success.
• You have more autonomy to start using new life skills in the real world with your treatment team’s guidance and support.

COMMUNITY MEETINGS

Your potential will increase as you increase the size of your team. Building a solid-sober community will strengthen your ability to stay sober and healthy. Many Tree House Recovery graduates remain connected well after treatment. Additionally, we will help connect you with other outside meetings so you can continue adding to your team for the rest of your life. The larger your team, the greater your potential. 

Sober Fitness Groups

Fitness is a huge part of the Tree House program. Our graduates who continue their commitment to exercise increase their chances of staying sober. As a veteran, you are already familiar with physical fitness. That being said, our gym facilities are open to graduates for continued use post-treatment. It’s the perfect way to stay connected with your team and build on your momentum of living your best life possible. We will also help connect you with other sober fitness groups in your area if remaining in any of our locations is not an option.

Support groups

Support groups are a great resource when it comes to the long-term maintenance of your sobriety. We will connect you to various groups so you can stay connected both within your Tree House brotherhood and add additional support. Having a large sober network of brothers, friends, and community members will give you other people you can lean on and provide you with a strong sense of community and purpose.

Family support groups

Addiction affects more than the veteran, it affects the whole family, and Tree House Recovery is a resource for family members of those who are working through their addiction. Tree House Recovery provides one of the best family programs in the Nation and can help veteran family members focus on healing themselves while their loved ones are in treatment. Your family is part of your team, and we work hard to make sure the team is strong. We also help connect you to outside organizations that specialize in helping families affected by addiction.
