About this Recovery Home
Cedarcrest House is a men's sober living home in Milwaukie, Oregon, in Clackamas County, operated by Sober Living PDX. It is the group's southernmost recovery residence in the Portland area.
A Men's Sober House in Milwaukie
Milwaukie is a small city of tree-lined blocks on the east bank of the Willamette, immediately south of Portland and inside a different county. The household here is men only, with shared furnished bedrooms and the operator's standing expectations: no alcohol, drugs or non-prescribed medication, attendance at the weekly house meeting, no overnight guests, and daily engagement through work, school, treatment or volunteering. A man who wants the meeting density of Portland without living inside it tends to find Milwaukie a good compromise.
Clackamas County Recovery Housing and the Orange Line
The MAX Orange Line runs from downtown Portland through downtown Milwaukie and ends at SE Park Ave, which puts this city on rail for the first time in generations. McLoughlin Boulevard carries frequent buses south toward Oregon City, the Clackamas County seat, where the circuit court, the county courthouse and county health services sit. Clackamas Town Center and the industrial belt around it hire steadily, and the Trolley Trail and the Springwater Corridor give residents somewhere to walk that is not a highway shoulder. Clackamas County recovery housing is thinner on the ground than Multnomah County's, so a bed here carries weight in a south-metro search.
Placement and the Application Route to This Recovery Home
The street address is not published. Applications go to Sober Living PDX, which assigns beds across its houses based on what is open and what fits the applicant. For a man coming out of treatment in Clackamas County, that is worth knowing in advance: the useful call is to the operator, and the question to ask is which of its addresses has a bed this week.
Oregon's Voluntary Accreditation for Recovery Residences
Recovery residences in Oregon operate without a state license. The Mental Health and Addiction Certification Board of Oregon runs a voluntary accreditation for the providers who choose it, holding them to a written code of ethics, disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, a documented relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint process outside the house. No public list of individual homes exists, so an applicant should ask the operator where it stands and treat the residence agreement as the document that matters.
Sober Living PDX Sober Homes Across the Metro Area
The operator's houses run from Beaverton and Tigard on the westside through Portland and down to Milwaukie, which spans three counties. A resident whose work or treatment moves can move with it and keep the same operator, the same rules and the same people making decisions about his housing. For someone who has already lost a placement once, that continuity is the feature that matters.
