About Cedar Hills Hospital

Cedar Hills Hospital is a medical facility offering inpatient and outpatient programs in Portland, Oregon. They provide inpatient addiction treatment, co-occurring mental health care, an intensive outpatient program, and a partial hospitalization program for adults. Specialized programming is available for veterans and military members.

The partial hospitalization program, also called day treatment, includes group therapy and medication management five days per week. The intensive outpatient program meets several days per week with options during the day or evenings. A women-only group meets Monday through Friday at 9:00 am and uses a trauma-informed approach. You can also expect dialectical behavior therapy with this program.

The inpatient program begins with a safe medical detox. Medication-assisted therapy will help you eliminate any withdrawal symptoms you may have. You’ll engage in treatment programming like individual and group therapy, and spirituality awareness groups. You can also expect motivational interviewing, 12-step groups, art, recreational activities, and yoga. Before leaving treatment you’ll obtain a relapse prevention plan, engage in family meetings, and discharge planning. Therapy focuses on acceptance and commitment therapy, identifying triggers, managing cravings, and sober living activities.

Some former patients said they didn’t like the environment or treatment they received. Others said it was a wonderful experience and they enjoyed treatment.

Accepted Insurance

Cedar Hills Hospital works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Clients who wish to remain in their homes while in recovery may elect to enroll in an outpatient rehab, many of which offer evening, night, and weekend services to accommodate clients' schedules. Most outpatient facilities provide multiple levels of care to align with clients' evolving needs, including partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) for clients who require robust support and supervision. Addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training are the most common treatment modalities.
inpatient iconInpatient
Inpatient rehabs differ from outpatient facilities in the intensity and frequency of treatment. Clients in inpatient care reside at the treatment facility for the length of the program. They engage in intensive addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training. Treatment programs may draw from a variety of methods, including CBT, DBT, RBT, trauma therapy, and motivational interviewing. Holistic therapies, such as yoga and message, are frequently available to clients in inpatient care.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive outpatient programs provide robust, high-frequency care for clients in early recovery and those at an increased risk of relapse. Clients are generally expected to participate in nine to 20 hours of treatment per week, with the number and duration of sessions decreasing as clients stabilize. Intensive outpatient treatment often combines psychotherapy, including individual, group, and family counseling, with addiction and recovery education. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) and holistic therapies are also common.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Rehab aftercare programs are generally predicated on the understanding that addiction disease is chronic and relapsing and the recovery is a life-long process requiring ongoing care. Clients in drug rehab aftercare have typically completed inpatient detox and/or rehab but may still be receiving outpatient treatment. Their unique care plan is usually developed in collaboration with their care team and case manager and may include peer coaching, career counseling, 12 step program facilitation, and related services.
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a more intensive form of outpatient and can be a step-down service in substance use disorder treatment. During PHP treatment, which lasts 4-8 hours per day and up to 5 days a week, you'll participate in daily therapeutic services (relapse prevention, medication management, and behavioral therapy) for an average of 90 days. The cost of PHP treatment varies, but it is typically covered by insurance providers.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in Oregon offers a full continuum of care for those struggling with addiction. From detox, to inpatient, to outpatient, to aftercare, Oregon residents can find the support they need for recovery. This treatment empowers individuals to replace drug use with positive alternatives and develop a healthier lifestyle.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
At Cedar Hills Hospital, they are dedicated to providing outstanding care and treatment to the men and women, family members and Veterans who serve the great Nation.The Military Program at Cedar Hills Hospital is specifically designed for Active Duty, National Guard and Active Reserve service members, their families and Veterans. Their programs are designed for those who are experiencing substance use, abuse or dependence, depression, military sexual trauma, combat induced PTSD/trauma, military related chronic pain or co-occurring mental health and substance abuse issues.

Clinical Services

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Oregon is a short term talk therapy method used to treat mental and behavioral disorders. Based on client needs, the therapist may recommend five to 20 sessions. Typically, this form of therapy requires fewer sessions than many other types of treatment.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

During trauma theory, you can explore the impact that traumatic events had on your life in a safe and supportive space. Your therapist will guide you in understanding your emotional and physical trauma responses while helping you to develop better coping skills so you can reclaim your life.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

When you've been using substances long term, this depletes your body of valuable nutrients. During nutrition therapy, you'll take steps to restore your health and learn how to maintain better nutrition. This is an important component of many drug rehab programs in Oregon.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

I was placed here against my will in the crisis stabilization unit. I was told that an NMI hold lasts 3 business days, but my stay ended up being nearly two weeks. I kept asking every day when I would be able to leave, but was given vague or no answers. Several days before my discharge, I was told the psychiatrist had to see me to get me discharged, but he missed me during his rounds. When I brought this up to staff, they said I was lying and that there was no way he missed me. Thus I was kept several days longer. While some of the younger staff was kind and understanding despite the horrible circumstances, many other nurses and psychiatrists treated me in a derisive, aggressive, and discriminatory manner. Every day was a cycle of being medicated, kept on a 1 to 1 24 hour watch despite being the only patient being held on this standard at the time, being unable to eat or sleep due to the stress, and experiencing various forms of verbal abuse and threats. One nurse called me a liar and manipulative attention seeker when I hadn't been doing anything except sitting in my room all day. After repeated other derogatory comments about me and my diagnosis, as well as the stress of being locked up and stared at all the time and being mistreated by staff daily, I started crying to which she said, "Stop that and have a conversation like an adult." I was still a teenager, the youngest on the unit. I ended up sitting on the floor begging her to stop before she finally left. When I finally got discharged, the process was very rushed and they tried to get me out within a few minutes, not letting me read in detail what exactly I was signing. The experience, meant to alleviate suicidality, only made my situation far worse and I jumped off a bridge only two days post discharge. To this day I still experience flashbacks and many everyday smells, sounds, sights, etc. are ruined for me because of coming to this place.

During my first episode of psychosis I was involuntarily admitted to this hospital. Absolutely no recollection of how I got there, or why I was there, and nobody had the patience to explain it to me. At one point a staff member cornered me in my room and told me I could take the pills in her hand or she would "shoot me" with the injection in her other hand. Crises were often solved with force, and I watched two or three grown men force a mentally ill woman against a wall. I could go on but I think I've said enough - Do NOT send your loved ones here.The only person I remember helping me calm down during an episode without getting angry or threatening me was rarely available, I wonder if she may have been the only therapist around but tbh I don't even remember her title. Anyways, thank you, Tabitha. I hope I didn't cause you too much trouble. I didn't know what was wrong with me.

I personally did not go there. My biological 18 year old sister did. While she stayed there she was horribly neglected. My biological little sister who was supposed to stay there for another two weeks but they let her go early and she commited suicide October 13th. While she stayed there she claimed on multiple occasions that her meds she had been prescribed by them while staying there, that they were not helping her and that her doctor kept upping her dosage instead of changing her meds to something that helped. Each time she called she was always way more depressed because the meds they had her taking weren't helping. I would also like to add that they didn't treat her with the respect that she needed and neglected her feelings when she told them exactly what she needed. By keeping her on meds that didn't help her, even when she voiced on the phone with me, which I know is recorded so it's all in the records at this hospital in Portland, that's neglecting her needs and letting her go early was also neglecting her care which caused her to not get the care she needed to get better and she committed suicide at 18. If she would have gotten the care she needed and the right medication she would still be here.
