Madrona Recovery

Company Description

Madrona Recovery in Tigard, Oregon, is a trauma‑informed residential treatment program that provides a supportive, home‑like environment for youth ages 13–17 who are struggling with mental‑health disorders, substance use or co‑occurring conditions. The program’s mission is to guide adolescents and their families from crisis to opportunity by building resilience and promoting long‑term recovery. Located on a peaceful campus outside Portland, Madrona Recovery combines around‑the‑clock care with holistic therapy and skill‑building so young people can heal in a safe, nurturing environment.

Treatment at Madrona is tailored to each resident’s needs and begins with a comprehensive assessment by licensed clinicians. Residents participate in evidence‑based therapies including individual and group counseling, cognitive‑behavioral and dialectical‑behavior modalities, experiential and mindfulness practices, and daily recreational activities. The program emphasizes relationship‑centered care: youth learn direct communication, develop healthy boundaries and practise conflict‑resolution skills within a supportive peer community. Rather than relying on rewards or punishment, staff help residents build internal motivation and discover practices that align with their personal values. On‑site schooling and hands‑on life‑skills training ensure academic continuity and personal growth, while certified nurses and therapists provide medication management and 24/7 supervision.

Family involvement is central to Madrona Recovery’s model. Parents and caregivers take part in weekly therapy sessions, educational workshops and home visits to reinforce therapeutic gains and prepare for reunification. With campuses in Tigard, Oregon and Brush Prairie, Washington, Madrona Recovery offers separate lodging for residents but maintains a consistent therapeutic philosophy across locations. Graduates leave with improved coping strategies, stronger communication skills and the confidence to navigate life’s challenges, supported by aftercare planning that connects them to community resources and outpatient services.
