About this Recovery Home
Men's Foster Homes is a men's recovery home in Portland, Oregon, in Multnomah County, operated by Sober Housing Oregon in the southeast quadrant of the city.
A Men's Sober House on a Gated Cul-de-Sac
The operator describes this residence as part of a small recovery community in southeast Portland off 125th and Foster, on a gated cul-de-sac with very little traffic. Street form matters more in recovery housing than anyone expects. A cul-de-sac has no through traffic, no foot traffic passing the door at two in the morning, and neighbors who notice a strange car. For a man in his first months of sobriety, an address that is quiet by geometry is worth more than one that is quiet by rule.
Room Options in This Southeast Portland Recovery Residence
The house offers a combination of shared and single rooms. That mix lets a resident step down from a shared room to a private one inside the same house as he stabilizes, without a new address, a new house manager or a new set of housemates. Anyone applying should ask which type is open now and whether a move within the house is possible later, since the answer determines whether a cheap first month has a path to a private room in month four.
The Foster Corridor and East Portland Sober Living
Southeast Foster Road runs diagonally across the east side, which makes it one of the few Portland streets that connects the Lents town center, Foster-Powell and inner southeast on a single frequent bus line. The corridor carries grocery stores, pharmacies, a large share of the city's entry level employment and several outpatient behavioral health providers. A resident here can hold a job, fill a prescription and reach a meeting without transferring buses, which is the practical test of an address in early recovery.
How Oregon Handles Recovery Housing Accreditation
Oregon does not license recovery residences, and accreditation through the Mental Health & Addiction Certification Board of Oregon is voluntary. The credential is issued to providers, so it covers an organization's practices across every house it runs, and the published list names a small number of Oregon companies. A house that is not on it has broken no rule. The standards themselves are still the right checklist for an applicant: written fees, written rules, a written relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint route above the house.
Applying Through This Portland Sober Living Operator
The street address is not published. Applications go to Sober Housing Oregon, which posts live vacancy across its fourteen houses and considers an applicant for the ones that fit. Confirm the monthly rate and what it covers, the deposit and its return terms, curfew and drug testing, employment or program expectations, and the house policy on prescribed medication for opioid use disorder.
