About this Recovery Home
The Men's 135th House is a men's recovery residence in Portland, Oregon, in Multnomah County, and the newest address in the Sober Housing Oregon portfolio.
A New Men's Sober House in Southeast Portland
Sober Housing Oregon describes this as a new location in a quiet, well maintained southeast Portland neighborhood that still sits on major public transportation lines. Opening a house is the point at which a resident has the most leverage. Nobody has claimed the good room, the house culture is still being set, and the operator wants the beds filled. Men who have lived in sober housing before often prefer a new house for exactly that reason.
Room Options in This Portland Recovery Home
Both shared and single occupancy rooms are offered. The trade is the familiar one. A shared room costs less and puts another person in the room during the hours nobody is checking, which is the accountability mechanism peer housing actually runs on. A single room costs more and gives someone a door to close. Applicants should say which they want at intake, because in a house that is still filling, both are more likely to be available than they will be in six months.
Outer Southeast Portland and Recovery Housing Access
The blocks around 135th Avenue in southeast Portland sit between the Powell and Division corridors, both of which carry frequent bus service into the central city, and a short distance from the I-205 corridor where the MAX Green Line runs. Multnomah County's outpatient providers, its courthouse and its peer recovery centers are concentrated in Portland proper, and this part of the city reaches all of them on transit. Rents in outer southeast are lower than inner Portland, which is why so much of the metro's recovery housing sits here.
What Accreditation Means for an Oregon Sober Living Home
Accreditation of recovery housing in Oregon is voluntary and is issued by the Mental Health & Addiction Certification Board of Oregon to providers, so it covers a company and every house it runs. A short list of Oregon organizations holds it, and no statute obliges any operator to apply. Absence from the list carries no meaning about a particular house. The standards behind it are still the right thing for an applicant to ask about: a written fee schedule, written house rules, a written relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint process that reaches past the house manager.
Applying Early to This Portland Sober House
The street address is not published, and the operator is taking applications for this house ahead of its opening, posting vacancy across its full portfolio as beds come available. Ask for the opening date in writing, along with the monthly rate and what it covers, the deposit and refund terms, curfew and testing practice, work or program expectations, and the policy on medication for opioid use disorder.
