Men's 122nd House Men's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

The Men's 122nd House is a men's recovery home in Portland, Oregon, in Multnomah County, one of fourteen residences run by Sober Housing Oregon across the east side of the metro.

A Men's Sober House on a Quiet Cul-de-Sac

The operator describes this house as sitting on a quiet cul-de-sac in a well established southeast Portland neighborhood. A cul-de-sac carries no through traffic and no passing foot traffic, and the surrounding blocks are older single family housing with settled neighbors. The effect on a resident is a house that stays quiet without anybody enforcing quiet, which is a different and more durable thing than a curfew.

Layout and Yard at This Southeast Portland Recovery Residence

It is a single story home with a large backyard. Single story matters for anyone with a mobility limitation, a recent injury or a work boot that does not do stairs at five in the morning, and it is uncommon in a market where most sober houses are converted two and three story buildings. The yard gives residents somewhere to be outside the house without leaving it, which absorbs a share of the restless hours that early recovery generates.

The 122nd Avenue Corridor and East Portland Recovery Housing

Southeast 122nd Avenue is one of east Portland's main north to south arterials, running from the Airport Way area down past Powell and Foster toward Clackamas. It carries a frequent bus line, grocery stores, pharmacies and a large concentration of the entry level employment that people rebuilding a work history actually get hired into. The MAX Green Line sits a short ride west along the I-205 corridor, and the Blue Line runs east to Gresham and west to downtown. A resident here reaches Multnomah County services and central city outpatient providers without a car.

Voluntary Accreditation for Oregon Sober Living Providers

Recovery housing accreditation in Oregon is voluntary and is administered by the Mental Health & Addiction Certification Board of Oregon. It attaches to the provider, covering how a company runs every house under its name, and the published list of accredited Oregon organizations is short. A house that is not named on it has broken no rule, because no rule requires participation. The standards remain the best checklist an applicant has: fees in writing, rules in writing, a relapse and discharge policy in writing, and somewhere to complain outside the house.

Applying to This Portland Men's Sober Living Home

The street address is not published, and Sober Housing Oregon handles placement across its full portfolio, posting current vacancy and expected open dates. Ask what the monthly rate includes, what the deposit is and when it is returned, whether the open room is shared or single, how curfew and testing work, what the expectation is around work or program attendance, and how the house treats prescribed medication for opioid use disorder.
