You’ll find New Narrative’s Mill Park Center located in Portland in Oregon. This facility offers outpatient mental health services in a community clinic setting, with specialized support if you’re experiencing substance use concerns. It’s a positive place where you can access a mix of services to support your goals toward healing. We like that they provide both clinical care and practical support simultaneously.
You can meet privately with a therapist for individual one on one psychotherapy or you can participate in group based sessions if you want to connect with others. These outpatient services are flexible enough to fit around your personal schedule. We like that they are designed to help you stay involved in the community also while still getting robust support.
If you’re experiencing substance use dependency with mental health concerns, this clinic can assist you with personalized care that addresses both conditions at the same time. This includes counseling, medication management, and recovery planning all configured to your needs. This is a setting in which you can work on every area of your wellness without having to go to different places and programs.
Alongside therapy and medication, their case managers can help you find housing and get connected with crucial local resources. Their staff will work alongside you to develop plans and strategies while also offering your peer run services and suicide prevention workshops. If you like learning with others, you’ll find that kind of connection there because it’s built into how they operate.
They accept Medicaid, Medicare, and state financed plans. They work with state mental health agency funds, county and government funds, and juvenile justice funds. They also take community service block grants.

Our Methodology
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
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.
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

I have been going to new narrative for over a decade I am improving I am thriving and not just surviving I am living a life worth living I feel supported and safe with my therapist and my team I have built trust with them
I'm with them right now and no one calls me back. 6 months ago they got rid of my therapist bc she needed to pick her child up from school. These people leave to pick their dogs up from daycare but won't let her get her child. I was left in limbo then they gave me a therapist that worked from home. Why didn't you just let mine work from home then. When I got a new one she even though she's at home and can't go anywhere she cancelled half our appointments fir other clients when I was already scheduled. Like I wasn't important enough. The case manager also cancelled half. And niw the 2people that had calle afterwards their phones are disconnected. So I'm like who's my therapist.?
Beautiful new park along side of Mill Park Elementary
I can only provide a review for “Mill Park Center: a New Narrative program.“ I do not understand what type of people they are intending to help, I’ve called several times and the phone message is full of terms I expect therapist understand but I don’t know what their options mean. Then if you don’t understand there’s an option for you but that recording is for a different company. I’ve been called back by very kind people. I tried working with the organization but I guess that’s my mistake. It’s not run like an organization. No one seems to make sure clients are looked after. They are friendly, if you can get them to call you back, you might get some help, but I haven’t seen reliability. I don’t know where one can find that.
