Pacific Crest Trail Detox

They provide inpatient residential and detox. The nearest alternative is in Happy Valley, 3.2 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Coming off opioids without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 1 places near Portland that do it.

Portland has 162 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Anyone outside that range is worth a call rather than an assumption, and Portland has 8 other centers to try.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Portland offers both.

It is normal, it has a name, and there are programs built specifically for it. Which came first is usually impossible to untangle and rarely changes what should happen next. Ask what happens if the psychiatric side turns out to need more than the program planned for.

There is a role, and it is a bigger one than most people expect going in. A release of information, signed by the patient, is what opens that door, and it can be narrow or wide. Ask what the household should have in place before the first weekend at home.

Outpatient keeps work, school and family going. Inpatient pauses them. People commonly start higher and step down, rather than choosing one level and staying there. Ask what happens if the level you start at turns out to be the wrong one.
