About Legacy Emanuel Hospital and Health Center Unity

Unity Center for Behavioral Health provides mental and behavioral health care services for adolescents and adults in Portland, Oregon. Here, they offer inpatient services to help stabilize your condition and put you on the path to recovery. They help treat an array of disorders, including substance abuse and co-occurring conditions. They accept self payment and private insurance. Payment plans are available.

I like that the environment in this facility is purposely designed to feel caring, compassionate, and safe. If you’re visiting here, you’re going through an acute mental health crisis and you need immediate care that puts you at ease. Rather than making you stick to a generic treatment plan, they’ll talk to you about what you want your recovery journey to look like. Then, they’ll create a schedule that takes your personal choices, needs, and strengths into account.

Some of the services they provide include individual, group, and family counseling, crisis intervention, medication management, and peer support. You’ll also have access to professional nursing care and spiritual support to manage the physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects of recovery.

One former client says that this facility exceeded her expectations. She notes that the team members are serious, the care is seamless, and everyone keeps your safety and comfort in mind at all times. Another client said that even in a room full of other people with similar struggles, she felt like her individual needs were met.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Family Therapy

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.

Group Therapy

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.

Individual Therapy

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.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Took my son here when he was having a mental health crisis and they were phenomenal. Every single person was caring. Even the security guards.

I stayed here over night a couple months ago after a friend dropped me off for SI. The nurses and psychiatrist and therapist and really all the staff were absolutely wonderful, helpful and friendly. My reason for the low stars is the sleeping arrangement. It is just this one large open room and the "beds" are just recliners. Extremely loud with people going in and out all night, very uncomfortable position to sleep in, very anxiety inducing being around so many people and just triggers PTSD with screams and yelling throughout the night. Would not recommend this place really, the staff are great but the overall arrangement is horrible.

Hello, I Jacob Tudor have been to unity twice, I experienced kind staff and a healing environment that cultivates reconciliation. The staff is happy to assist with cups of coffee, conflict resolving conversations, and even groups that equip patients with skills to help them regulate emotions. They do their job with a smile :))If you are having a mental health crisis I highly recommend seeking help at the unity behavioral health center.

I m really pissed off that I cycled in and out of the hospital for years before I actually got help. All I needed was to be hospitalized for a little bit to get stable on my medication, They let you lose your mind out there until you commit a crime . OK now but I wasted so much of my life being mentally ill I didn t even know I was that bad. I asked a Nurse at unity once if she thought I was mentally ill and she said no so I believed her. I m just so angry. I m so angry at this Broken system

Our son was on the adolescent floor. Here is some unsolicited advice:If you are a parent of a child receiving care at this center, know that your child will not be cured , and will not receive therapy here. That is not the objective of this level of care. Instead, expect a dimming of the challenges your child was facing, maybe a window of opportunity for your child accepting help, and state your needs as clearly as you can. If you are mentally and/or emotionally drained, say so. If you are experiencing deep sadness, say so. Make sure you feel heard. If you don t feel heard, say so. Request a provider change if you feel that it is needed.The staff can be hit or miss, but mostly, they are wonderful people working very hard jobs to affect positive change in the lives of the adolescents they seek to help. Some of them are burnt out, some of them are very caring, some are both. Your child will participate in a variety of groups daily and will be assigned a nurse and a staff . Some days the nurse and staff will be the same person. You can call them daily. Tell them about your child s interests and strengths, ask about how they are participating, eating, interacting, etc.Social workers cannot work miracles, so don texpect that. Instead, try to approach it as a collaborative effort to find the care your child needs. If that care is not yet available, and your child must remain here until a space opens up, bring food if you can. Bring company if you can. Stay involved to the level that you are able.Know that your child s social worker cares, the teacher here is wonderful, the groups can be immensely helpful, and the collaborative problem solving training is extremely useful. Take it.Know that there are so many parents and caregivers in your position and, if you can, find a support group for caregivers of children with similar challenges to your child. Go to the beach, take a walk in the forest, have some coffee on a patio. It s tough, and I feel ya. You can make it through.
