Willamette Living Group LLC

About Willamette Living Group LLC

Willamette Living Group LLC is a sober living operator in Gresham, Oregon, running recovery homes in Gresham and Salem. The company is veteran owned and accredited by the Mental Health and Addiction Certification Board of Oregon.

A Veteran Owned Oregon Sober Living Operator

The company describes what it does in three words: structure, stability and a real chance. Veteran ownership is not incidental to a housing model built on those terms. Military experience runs on written standards, predictable routines and accountability to the people beside you, which is close to what a functioning recovery household requires, and for a resident who served it is a point of common ground with the person setting the rules.

Two Recovery Homes in Gresham and Salem

Two houses carry the Willamette Living Group name:

• Brook House, a men's recovery home in Gresham, in Multnomah County.
• Elsie House, a recovery residence in Salem, in Marion County.

Street addresses are not published for either, and placement runs through the company. The two sit about fifty miles apart at opposite ends of the Interstate 5 and Highway 26 corridors, which gives an applicant a genuine choice of setting: Gresham is the eastern edge of a metropolitan area of two and a half million people, and Salem is a capital city of about half that many in total, at the head of an agricultural valley.

What $650 a Month Buys in These Sober Homes

Rates start at $650 a month at both houses. Against Portland metro and Salem rents, that is well below the cost of any self-contained unit, and it is the figure that makes recovery housing reachable for someone earning a first wage after treatment. Both houses run drug and alcohol free, with structured daily routines and shared living standards built on accountability and respect between residents. The starting rate is a floor, so an applicant should ask for the figure attached to the specific bed on offer and what it includes.

MHACBO Accreditation and This Recovery Housing Provider

The company holds accreditation from the Mental Health and Addiction Certification Board of Oregon, Oregon's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. Oregon has no mandatory license for recovery residences and no public inspection of them, so accreditation is a voluntary submission to oversight. It binds the provider to a published code of ethics, to disclosing fees and house rules in writing before a resident signs, to a documented relapse and discharge policy, and to a complaint process that operates outside the house.

Serving the Portland Metro and the Mid Willamette Valley

Gresham is the second largest city in Multnomah County and the eastern anchor of the Portland metro area, with the MAX Blue Line terminating in its downtown and Mount Hood Community College inside the city. Salem is the Marion County seat and the Oregon state capital, holding the county courthouse, the state agencies that administer corrections, child welfare and health programs, Salem Health and Chemeketa Community College. Between them the two addresses cover the two largest concentrations of population, employment and treatment capacity in the northern Willamette Valley, and Interstate 5 connects them in about an hour.

Reaching This Oregon Sober Living Operator

Applications go to the company. Ask what the monthly rate covers at the specific house and room, what deposit is required and what returns it, how many residents share the house, what the daily routine requires, how long a stay can run, what happens after a relapse, and whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted. An accredited operator has to put the fees, rules and discharge policy in writing before a move-in date is set.
