Opioid Use Disorder Treatment in Portland

What Is Opioid Use Disorder?

Opioid use disorder is a complex condition where individuals struggle to stop using opioids such as prescription painkillers, heroin, fentanyl, or kratom. These substances cause changes in the brain that lead to intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms, making quitting without help feel impossible. At Bridge of Hope, we provide outpatient opioid addiction treatment rooted in compassion, clinical best practices, and cultural inclusivity.

What to Expect from Our Outpatient Program in Portland, Oregon:

Bridge of Hope’s opioid treatment services feature a smaller client-to-staff ratio for individualized support. We provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) using buprenorphine (Suboxone), methadone, or naltrexone, overseen by experienced psychiatric providers. Medications help reduce cravings and support brain healing, while therapy addresses emotional, psychological, and behavioral roots of addiction.

You’ll receive one-on-one counseling, group therapy, and support from peer mentors who have walked similar paths. Our wraparound services include case management, family engagement, and wellness planning. We coordinate with sober housing, including LGBTQ-friendly housing options, to create a stable environment where you can focus on recovery.

A safe, welcoming environment for LGBTQ+ Patients

Inclusive, Identity-Affirming Care

We believe everyone deserves a safe place to heal. LGBTQ+ patients can feel safe and affirmed through our sober housing options and inclusive care model, which ensures that all clients, regardless of background or identity, are met with respect and understanding. We accept commercial insurance and work with individuals to remove barriers to care.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first step to starting opioid treatment at Bridge of Hope in Portland, Oregon?

Your first step is a confidential prescreen with our admissions team. During this call, we’ll learn more about your goals, symptoms, and treatment history so we can determine the appropriate level of care—PHP/HIOP (ASAM 2.5), IOP (2.1), or OP (1.0). Once your prescreen is complete, we’ll schedule a full clinical assessment with our behavioral health team. We can often complete this process quickly to ensure that clients seeking opioid use disorder treatment have timely access to medication-assisted treatment (MAT), counseling, and wraparound care.

How does Bridge of Hope support people transitioning from detox, residential treatment, or hospitalization?

Many clients begin opioid treatment at Bridge of Hope as they step down from inpatient programs, detox centers, or hospital care. Our team regularly partners with discharge planners, case managers, and medical providers to ensure continuity of care and safe stabilization. Clients can move directly into PHP/HIOP, IOP, or OP depending on their needs. We provide medication management, structured therapy schedules, daily meals, sober housing options through Rose City Sober Housing, and a supportive treatment environment designed to help you maintain momentum in early recovery.

What additional supports are available beyond medication and therapy?

Bridge of Hope offers a full wraparound model to support long-term recovery. Clients benefit from case management, peer mentorship, family engagement, nutritious meals served onsite daily, and holistic programming such as yoga, art therapy, music therapy, mindfulness, and “Go The Distance” running groups. Our curriculum includes evidence-based modalities like CBT, DBT, ACT, REBT, Seeking Safety, and Shame & Resilience groups. We also offer LGBTQ+ programs and access to LGBTQ-affirming sober housing. These supports help clients build stability, structure, and community throughout treatment.

How does Bridge of Hope decide which treatment approach is best for opioid use disorder?

Our clinical team uses a trauma-informed, whole-person approach to determine the best plan for each client. We evaluate not only substance use history, but mental health needs, medical concerns, trauma, family dynamics, and support systems. Medication assisted treatment may be recommended to stabilize cravings and withdrawal, while therapy, group work, and holistic activities help address emotional and behavioral patterns. This individualized planning ensures that clients receive the right mix of medication, structure, and support from day one.
