“I flew in from Ohio scared out of my mind. Someone met me at the airport, and by that night I was in a real bed with a nurse checking on me. Pine Tree gave me my life back.”

Alcohol Outpatient
Help for Drinking That Fits Around Work.
You don’t have to hit bottom — or leave your life — to change your drinking.
Outpatient alcohol treatment meets you where you are: drinking that’s grown past your control but hasn’t collapsed your life. Structured therapy several days a week changes the trajectory before more is lost.
Problem Drinking, Addressed Early
You don’t need a rock-bottom story to qualify. “It’s getting away from me” is reason enough.
IOP & Step-Down Care
3–5 days a week to start, stepping down to 1–2 as your footing strengthens — day or evening.
Medical Oversight
Physician assessment first — and if stopping is medically risky, detox happens safely on the same campus before outpatient begins.
Group Support
People working on the same thing, led by clinicians — the accountability that makes Tuesday-night cravings survivable.
Co-Occurring Care
Anxiety and depression drive drinking as often as they follow it. Both get treated here.
Family Repair
Drinking strains every relationship in the house. Family sessions start rebuilding while you’re in treatment.

A Different Standard of Alcohol Treatment.
One campus, one team, a full continuum of care.
Since 2009, Guardian Recovery has helped more than 25,000 people begin again. At Pine Tree, the full continuum — detox through outpatient — shares one campus and one clinical team — your care deepens as you progress, instead of starting over.
- Detox and rehab on one campus — no transfers, no re-telling your story.
- Premium, restorative setting — private bedrooms, chef-prepared meals, in the heart of Portland.
- In-network with most major insurers — treatment can cost little or nothing out of pocket.
- Travel made simple — we coordinate flights and pickup for out-of-state clients.

Why Pine Tree?
Some places treat the environment as an afterthought. We treat it as part of the medicine. When your body is exhausted and your nervous system is on edge, a calm room, a good meal, and the ocean air do real clinical work.
Behind the comfort is a serious program: physician-led detox, daily evidence-based therapy, and a team that has guided thousands of people through their first weeks without alcohol.

For Families
Worried About Someone You Love?
You don’t need them to be “ready.” You just need to call.
Many of the people we help arrive because a family member made the first call. Our admissions team can talk you through what to say, how intervention support works, and what treatment can look like — before your loved one ever picks up the phone.
- Guidance for first conversations and interventions
- Family therapy and weekly updates, with your loved one’s consent
- Coming from out of state? We coordinate flights and airport pickup.

Stories of Recovery
Reclaim Your Life | Rewrite Your Story.
From the people and families who walked this path before you.
“The campus is beautiful, but what stayed with me is the people. My therapist saw through twenty years of excuses with so much kindness that I finally stopped making them.”
Laura B. Alumni · Pine Tree
“We sent my husband to Pine Tree after two failed attempts elsewhere. The difference was the continuity — the same team from detox through discharge. He’s two years sober.”
Patricia G. Family member of an alumni

Common Questions
Answers Before You Call.
Can I keep working while in outpatient treatment?
Yes — that’s the point of the design. Day and evening tracks let most clients keep work, school, and family commitments.
How many days a week is the program?
Intensive outpatient (IOP) typically runs 3–5 days per week in three-hour sessions; standard outpatient steps down to 1–2 sessions per week. Your level is set clinically and adjusts as you progress.
How much does outpatient treatment cost?
Outpatient care is the most affordable level of treatment, and most insurance plans cover it. We verify your exact benefits for free before you commit to anything.
Will anyone find out I’m in treatment?
No. Your care is protected by federal privacy law (HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2). We never share information with employers, family, or anyone else without your written consent.
What if I need more than outpatient care?
Then we’ll tell you honestly — and the step up happens on the same campus. Pine Tree runs the full continuum in Portland, from medical detox through outpatient, with one clinical team.
How quickly can I start?
Often within days. One call verifies your insurance and schedules your assessment — evenings included.
