Treehouse Recovery

Today I just graduated from the PHP program, 90 days ago I came to Treehouse a very broken and weak person in so many ways. I went from someone who was using alcohol everyday to hide from the world and my emotions, ashamed of who I was as a man, brother and son. And ashamed of my problem. I’m now a man who is strong in every sense of the word. Confident in who I am and what I’ve accomplished. The team aspect is such an amazing piece of this program and truly made a huge impact on my recovery! The staff is super knowledgeable and supportive, Josh and Bryan lead me in workouts everyday and helped me become the person I am today! Rob is someone who I looked up to on how I wanted to be a man, for myself and family. Always will go out of his way to do anything he can to support you. Nevin and Doug on the clinical 1 on 1 side helped me get to the bottom of a lot of my issues and gave me the tools to feel confident in how to handle myself in a much more healthy and productive way going forward. If you are considering going to treatment, I genuinely could not recommend a better program if you are serious about making a change for the better!

I’m not someone who typically leaves reviews, but I felt the need to share my experience here because this has been the best decision I’ve ever made. Tree House truly changed my life. I had been contemplating going to treatment for at least a year before I finally committed, and I only wish I had gone sooner. At the time, I was drinking every day, lacked motivation, and felt stuck—waiting for something to change or for an opportunity to come my way, which I now realize was never going to happen on its own. From the moment I arrived, the staff and the guys were incredibly supportive, creating an environment where everyone genuinely wants to see each other succeed. This was my first time in treatment, so I can’t compare it to other programs, but Tree House offered a level of freedom and trust that truly helped me grow. I attended the Portland location over the summer, where we participated in real-life activities like camping, hiking, biking, fishing, and even floating the river. Floating a river sober was a first for me—and I had an absolute blast. Being able to participate in real-world activities during treatment made the transition back into everyday life feel much more natural and manageable. Working out daily with the group had a huge impact on my mental health and confidence. Josh, Bryan and Kevin are excellent trainers and counselors who helped me grow stronger both mentally and physically. The therapy sessions with Doug and Nevin were especially meaningful; they helped me get to the root of why I was using alcohol and gave me practical tools to handle urges when they come up. Rob also had a significant impact on me—he was someone I could talk to about anything and inspired me to want to be a better person. Today, my life looks completely different. I no longer feel the need to use any substance to enjoy myself or feel fulfilled. I am truly grateful for this program and would highly recommend Tree House to anyone struggling with addiction who wants to improve their well-being and their life overall. It was the best decision I have ever made.

Treehouse Recovery is a great organization. The counselors and the staff truly care about your well-being and want their clients to succeed. They combine counseling with mandatory physical exercise, making them a unique treatment organization. I am forever grateful to them for turning my life around and supporting my newfound hope in life.

A note to those suffering and struggling with the disease of addiction. You are not alone. For so long I have felt lost and doomed with the thought that there was no light at the end of the tunnel nor a lifesaver for drowning in my despair. Help is out there! At Treehouse Recovery I was blessed to find acceptance, connection, and camaraderie. Being stuck in a never ending cycle of alcohol abuse, failed attempts to further my life, as well as self sabotage, Treehouse Recovery has helped me change personal perception of self, my daily routine, and through group and one on one therapy find not only the reason for use and abuse of alcohol, but what pain underneath needed to be addressed. Along with a psychological rebirth, the physical treatment of exercise helped my body grow stronger to accommodate my mind growing stronger. Being from Brooklyn, New York, in and out of rehab 3 times, I grew skeptical of traditional institutional treatment programs. This program has shown me that just like most programs of service you need to try what fits you. For those whom have sought help and found traditional programs are not compatible with you. I highly recommend TreeHouse for their approach is beyond comparison and will truly change your life. I am 5 months Sober and this has been the most positive and progressive months I’ve had in my life since high school. The staff is understanding and exceptionally well. The program itself helps you realize you are not just enough but can be the best version of yourself that has ever existed. I wish to further my knowledge and connection with the recovery team, for I have found a family outside of my own that loves me just as much.

When my younger brother finally decided to seek help for his alcohol addiction, I spent countless hours researching treatment programs. From the moment I came across the website for Tree House Recovery PDX, I knew this was something special. A truly unique program that stood out from every other rehab facility I had seen. Tree House’s focus on building a brotherhood grounded in mutual respect, compassion, and empowerment immediately resonated with me. My brother had spent years feeling isolated and disconnected, and I knew this kind of community could give him the sense of belonging he’d been missing. The combination of strength training and mindfulness yoga was unlike anything I had come across before. Replacing harmful habits with physical strength and mental resilience was exactly what my brother, once an athletic, active teenager, needed to reconnect with a version of himself that existed before alcohol took hold. The program’s one-on-one, group, and writing therapy, combined with the educational classes on the mechanisms of addiction, make it one of the most well-rounded and thoughtful approaches to recovery I have ever seen. In just three months, the transformation in my brother has been remarkable, not only in his body but in his voice, his confidence, and his spirit. Tree House has given him tools to cope with disappointment and setbacks, develop healthier reasoning skills, and rediscover the strength that comes from brotherhood, from leaning on and lifting up others walking the same path. He’s learned how to have fun without substances and surround himself with people who genuinely care about his well-being. Initially, I worried Tree House might not be an option for us financially. But then I saw the words at the bottom of their website: “We strive to make sure that Tree House is an option for everyone.” It felt like they were speaking directly to me. When I reached out, Matt was incredible. He listened with genuine compassion, spoke with both my brother and me, and over the next week and a half worked tirelessly with the team, including the program director and finance department, to make sure my brother could be admitted. He arranged detox admission, transportation, and housing. Thanks to Matt, Brandon, Emma, Esther, and Rob, my brother was given a real shot at recovery. Tree House Recovery PDX hasn’t just helped my brother get sober, it has transformed his outlook on life. He’s now enrolled in school, exploring meaningful work, and, most importantly, has hope again. Our family will forever be grateful to the entire Tree House team for their compassion, creativity, and unwavering belief in the potential for change.
