About CityTeam Portland
Popular for its green living practices and thriving arts and culture scene, Portland, Oregon is also home to CityTeam Portland. Since 1957, this organization has offered a safe haven for adults and families facing homelessness, poverty, addiction, domestic violence and other life struggles. You’ll benefit from gender-specific residential programs, emergency shelters and more to turn your life around.
Their six month to one year programs offer supportive spaces for men and women battling substance use disorder. They strive to help you restore your life, providing faith-based approaches, essentials, and clinical support to heal your mind, body, and soul.
You can participate in personalized career counseling, 12 step meetings, mental health and medical care, trauma informed mentoring and more. These interventions can help you gain essential life skills, heal from trauma and foster a brighter future for you and your loved ones.
What stands out most to me is their gender-specific approach. They offer separate residential programs including one for women and women with children and one for men. I think this is a wonderful approach because you’ll have a safe living space with people on similar paths. You’ll also benefit from a supportive environment to share your story and connect with others you resonate with.
I also found their economic empowerment services to be unique. You can participate in multiple classes to improve stability and build a fulfilling life. They provide vocational training, certification programs, career counseling, financial literacy classes and more. To me, this is a fantastic way to explore your career options and create a clear path to financial wellness and sustained recovery.
Some other wonderful features I noticed were their youth crisis prevention services, extended housing and supportive housing. I think it’s nice that they support you throughout reaching recovery and for as long as you need to get back on your feet.

Other Forms of Payment
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Levels of Care
Intensive Outpatient programs are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs. The Intensive Outpatient Program gives patients the chance to participate in a structured treatment plan part-time while they transition back to home and work or other responsibilities.
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
