Men's 115th House Men's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

The Men's 115th House is a men's sober house in Portland, Oregon, in Multnomah County, operated by Sober Housing Oregon in the southeast quadrant of the city.

A Men's Sober House in Southeast Portland

Sober Housing Oregon places this residence in southeast Portland on major bus lines, close to meetings, shopping and restaurants. The 100th blocks of southeast Portland form one of the densest transit grids outside the central city, with frequent north to south service and east to west service crossing every few blocks. For a man without a car in his first months out of treatment, that grid is the difference between a job he can hold and a job he has to quit.

What the House Itself Offers Residents in Recovery

The operator describes a combination of shared and single rooms, two living rooms and two kitchens, and a back yard planted with flowers and fruit trees. Two kitchens is a more meaningful detail than it sounds. A full house sharing one kitchen produces a queue at seven in the morning and friction by the end of the week, and a second kitchen removes both. Two living rooms does similar work, giving residents somewhere to go that is neither a bedroom nor the room where the television is on.

Accreditation and the Oregon Recovery Residence Record

Oregon does not license recovery residences, and accreditation through the Mental Health & Addiction Certification Board of Oregon is voluntary. The board accredits providers against the standards of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences and publishes the organizations that hold the credential. Most Oregon houses are not on that list, and nothing follows from their absence. What follows for an applicant is a duty to ask: a written fee schedule, written house rules, a written relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint route above the house manager.

Applying to This Portland Recovery Home

The street address is not published. Placement runs through Sober Housing Oregon, which posts live vacancy for each of the fourteen houses it operates and takes applications online. Before signing, confirm the monthly rate and what it covers, the deposit and its return terms, whether the room available is shared or single, how curfew and drug testing are handled, and whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted.

Where This Sober House Sits in the Operator's Portland Network

Sober Housing Oregon runs houses from inner southeast Portland out through the outer east side and into downtown Gresham, thirteen for men and one for women. Several sit within a few miles of this one, which gives a resident room to change houses without leaving the neighborhood, the bus route or the outpatient provider he has already started with.
