Treehouse Recovery

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.

My name is Marcus Bennett and I've been a client of treehouse recovery for 90 days and counting. It's the best decision I've made in my life. This program has totally changed my life in how I think, how I treat myself in recovery and others. I want to thank the guys here because very greadful. To Matt, Nevin, Rob, Doug, Josh, Brian and Kevin, I'm so greatful for the trust and teaching advice I've gotten from you all. I have never trusted anyone in life as much as the trust I have for you all. You guys are the family I never had, truly love you guys for that. When I came in I was very lost and scared and had no idea on what to expect because I've literally been to almost every treatment center in Portland before, but I just needed to get my life together before I did something to drastically change my life permanently for the worst. Literally I've never felt this good about the decision I made to come here because it saved my life. The guys here literally care about you as a individual and each one spends time with you to help you to recover from you addictions. And again I'm so greatful to the Treehouse family for excepting me in. The team we have in the house is always a great group of guys that kinda becomes your brothers. If you are looking for a outstanding place to changed your life, get in contact with Treehouse and start a new journey to change your life...

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.

Our lives we had built over almost 40 years together were failing. We were scared, we were desolate and drowning, our family was tapped out, ashamed of our choices and finally desperately seeking help from anyone that would listen. No one was listening. We had waited too long thinking it was no problem, not really, we weren’t like “those people”, we knew that we could quit, he hadn’t relapsed he had had surgery and a month long hospital stay, we would easily just get a job, move in with family till we were on our feet, we’d done it many times before, he had been sober 17 out of 25 years, snap no worries….. we were so wrong about it ALL. Weeks later and my husband had been in detox for around 10 days in Eugene, the farthest place away my boys could find that would take and keep him, I had been making as usual, call after call, text chat after text chat, day after day, page after page, talking to each rehab, each place that said no, sent by them always to try another few and when they said no the search online would lead me to more. All of them said no for whatever reason, mostly full beds and even if there were available beds, they wouldn’t take our insurance since the Covid exceptions are all expiring. Or they would take our insurance but only for detox which he is already in. The luxury, lol, rehabs all offered self pay ofcourse, thousands upon thousands and we had no money. I had almost given up any hopes we once shared and I got a text back from someone. Not wanting to hear no again after pouring out our story through tears, I was frustrated and angry and I got to the point, “do you take our insurance or not?” No answer but they said I’d be chat contacted soon. Sure. Sure. Then I was, his name was Matt from Tree House Recovery, and he listened. I couldn’t believe he listened. My husband is 60, he is lost. I am lost. Matt gave me hope. Tree Houses Website and videos and links to YouTube gave me hope. Matt asked me if My husband was tired of self medicating and being in life long pain, were our lives unmanageable, were we on the bottom. We were way past that and we were going to die. He still was listening. We have nothing but we will give anything just to have a chance. Matt fought for us, fought for that chance, and through the Grace of God and everyone involved at Tree House, his chance at a NEW LIFE, his DAY ONE there, is this week. I promised to get my husband to the door, any door that said yes, he had to walk through it….. thanks to Matt listening and truly caring he is, and he will learn, and grow and rebuild his mind, body and spirit one minute, one hour, one day at a time. Our family is grateful and humbled and blessed. Thankyou isn’t enough.

Treehouse has been an amazing program, I’ve been in treatment many many times and this place was so different than anywhere I’ve ever been before for the better. Love everything and everyone at this place, would highly recommend!
