About this Recovery Home
The Lighthouse is a coed recovery residence in Portland, Oregon, in Multnomah County. It sits in the inner southeast grid along Southeast 12th Avenue and operates under the Portland Sober Living Company name.
A Coed Recovery Residence Off the Burnside Corridor
The house serves men and women together. Southeast 12th Avenue is one of the north-south arterials that stitch inner southeast Portland together, crossing Burnside, Belmont, Hawthorne and Division within about a mile, and a resident living anywhere along it is inside walking distance of grocery stores, pharmacies, coffee shops that hire, and several of the busiest recovery meetings in the city. Bus service runs the length of the avenue and connects to the MAX at Burnside.
How Placement Works at This Portland Sober House
No street number is published for this residence, and applications go to the operator instead of to the door. Anyone comparing Portland sober living homes will run into that pattern repeatedly, and the useful response is to shift the questions from the address to the terms. What is the weekly fee, what does it include, what is the deposit, how much notice does a discharge require, and who can a resident escalate to if the house manager is the problem. Those answers describe the actual experience of living somewhere far better than a street number does.
Oregon Recovery Housing Sits Outside the Licensing System
Oregon has no license for recovery residences and no state-run lookup for them. The only credential is voluntary accreditation from the Mental Health & Addiction Certification Board of Oregon, granted to provider organizations and published without addresses, capacities or levels. So absence from a public list establishes nothing about a Portland recovery home, and presence on one says something about the company instead of the house. The gap gets filled by documents: a written code of conduct, written fees, a written relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint route that leads outside the household. Ask for all four.
Inner Southeast Portland Recovery Homes and Getting Around
Portland is the seat of Multnomah County and the hub of the state's recovery services, and the inner southeast quadrant is one of the few parts of Oregon where somebody with no car and no license is not disadvantaged. TriMet's bus grid, the MAX Blue and Red lines at Burnside, and the Orange Line to Milwaukie all pass within reach, and the Central Eastside industrial district immediately west holds warehouse, food production and service jobs that hire quickly. Court obligations at the Multnomah County Courthouse, appointments with outpatient providers and classes at Portland Community College are all inside the same fare zone.
Choosing Between Coed and Single-Gender Recovery Housing
A coed household is a real choice and deserves a direct one. It usually means shorter waits and a wider mix of ages and backgrounds under one roof. It also means the house needs clear, enforced rules about relationships between residents, and a prospective resident should ask what those rules are and what happens when they are broken. Somebody whose history makes a mixed household difficult should say so during the application, because Portland has enough single-gender recovery housing that the alternative exists.
