“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.”

Outpatient Treatment
Real Treatment. Real Life. Both.
Recovery doesn’t require leaving your job, your family, or Portland.
Outpatient care at Pine Tree is structured and clinical — not a weekly check-in. IOP runs several days a week with therapy, group, and medical support; standard outpatient steps down as your recovery strengthens. And the full continuum stands behind you on the same campus.
Intensive Outpatient (IOP)
Three-hour sessions, 3–5 days a week — day or evening — with individual therapy, group, and medical support in one plan.
Standard Outpatient
Ongoing sessions 1–2 times per week — the steady support that helps recovery take root and hold.
Evening Tracks
Built for people with jobs. Many clients attend after work without anyone needing to know.
Group Support
Small, clinician-led groups — accountability and community that outlast the program.
Medical Backbone
Physician assessment first, and detox or residential care on the same campus if you ever need to step up — no starting over.
Co-Occurring Care
Anxiety, depression, and trauma often travel with substance use. Both get treated here.

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.

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.”

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.
