Court-Referred Residential Program in Portland
The Men’s Residential Center (MRC) provides admission through Multnomah County courts or Federal Probation/Parole. The program combines substance use treatment with outpatient mental health services, offering a structured environment where men begin recovery and prepare for long-term reentry into the community.
Phased Treatment Model with Skill Building
Treatment is structured in three phases. The first phase is a 17-week curriculum centered on relapse prevention, anger management, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, trauma-related counseling, and 12-step facilitation. The second phase emphasizes practicing these skills through vocational training, pro-social activities, and family reconnection. Education on health topics and tobacco cessation is also integrated to support broader well-being.
Transitional Housing and Aftercare Support
Graduates may move into rent-free transitional housing at the nearby Sacramento Recovery House, giving them time to save money and secure stable housing. Following residential treatment, men continue with six months of outpatient aftercare. Services include mentoring, peer support, employment counseling, and case management, all designed to strengthen independence and recovery in daily life.
Resources and Populations Served
MRC provides individual, group, and family counseling, alongside suicide prevention, integrated primary care coordination, and housing support. The program serves men of different ages, including veterans and those with co-occurring disorders, chronic pain, HIV/AIDS, gambling disorder, or trauma histories. Care is offered by Volunteers of America, a nonprofit organization focused on recovery and reintegration through housing, employment, and community support.

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.
Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:
- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.
- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.
- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.
- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.
Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.
How we evaluate treatment facilities
These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.
Important disclaimer
We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
