PeaceHealth Medical Group in Eugene, Oregon operates at the University District and supports individuals throughout the area who are struggling with their mental health or have a coexisting substance abuse disorder. This facility is a supportive place to turn to if you feel your mental health is on the decline, have experimented with substance use, or simply need supportive care to address the life challenges you’re facing.
You’ll work with a comprehensive team of experienced behavioral health professionals including psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health counselors, therapists, and specialists.
Services are offered in an outpatient setting and there’s an intensive outpatient program and a partial hospitalization program if you need more robust support. They accept Medicaid and Medicare.
For many clients who seek care here, this is often their first step in speaking with a behavioral health professional. The team here is compassionate, offering judgment free support that will connect you to the right services you need.
Because of this, the care here is generally suitable for individuals who are stabilized or have completed an inpatient program. Their outpatient programming serves as a supportive step down from intensive care or a helpful step forward for individuals with mild behavioral health or addiction struggles.
As a nonprofit healthcare system that operates throughout Oregon, Washington, and Alaska, collaboration across specialties is something that’s valued here. Often, your behavioral health or substance use struggles will not exist alone and ancillary services to address other health complications may be required.
At PeaceHealth, your treatment plan will include the guidance of appropriate specialists including neurologists, cardiac specialists, and even oncologists if you have other health issues at play.

Our Methodology
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.
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.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
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.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
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.
When participating in 12 step programs, clients receive intensive and ongoing peer support as they work through the recovery journey. They're expected to regularly attend 12 step meetings and to select a peer sponsor for one-on-one mentoring. Meetings are free, anonymous, and accessible multiple times a day, 365 days per year, in most communities. Religious affiliation is not required, though these programs are rooted in the belief in a higher power as a foundation of personal growth and long-term sobriety.
24-hour clinical care in Oregon offers a safe place for those experiencing withdrawal to recover in a medical detox program. Around-the-clock care lessens the risk of serious withdrawal symptoms and provides a more comfortable detox process. With medical staff on-site, more serious symptoms are less likely to develop and pose health threats. Medications and nutritional treatment can be provided, as well as mental health treatment to address any co-occurring disorders.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
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.
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
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.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

I am so pleased with the last 17 years of service from Behavioral Health, especially the last 10 years with Dr. Edmund Whiteley, my Psychiatrist. I am treated with respect & I have absolutely no complaints about any or the staff @ this facility.
This program is the most useful piece of crap that ever is how can you let Somebody who is mentally unfit and has no idea about the decisions. They are making go on the streets and say that they’re perfectly fine. I’m extremely disappointed with the lack of responsibility and empathy they have towards the families of these patients. And for them to say that these patients are fit enough to make their own decision, decisions is completely wrong because not every patient has the same cognitive ability, And in my case, my mother-in-law is schizophrenic, homeless, And lost on the streets and we did not even get a call to say that she was released. Extremely disappointed with the staff and administration and this entire system with how they handle our Family, friends, and community who struggle with mental health, they should be completely ashamed of themselves
This is for Shirley Spencer, specifically. I am disabled, which was a problem for her, as I was not able to get outside when ever I feel like it. She saw this as "not doing anything to help myself". I also have a problem making friends here in Eugene. She made this my fault by saying I am intimidating to be around and that I am, in her words, "too put together, so people don't want to come up to you." During my time with her, I didn't make any friends, and this was my fault. She spent an extra ten minutes ranting about how I haven't made progress. "You have no friends, no job, and your family doesn't want to talk to you" is what she last said to me before she had to go for another session with somebody else. I was abused by my parents relentlessly. I was gaslighted, lied to, manipulated. Through *my own* discovery, I realized my parents are narcissists. Books, articles, my husband, and Reddit was more helpful than her. Do you know what she told me to do? "Love them anyways". She told me to love my abusers. Do not talk to this lady, she's an idiot. Extra star is for Brandon, the best assistant at peace health!
