Coming to Fora Health for Outpatient or Withdrawal management and need to keep your bike safe? We’ve got you!

We now offer high-quality bike locks for temporary use to make sure your bikes are secured outside our SE Portland facility while accessing services.

This is one of the many ways we are continually reducing barriers and making Fora a more inclusive and accessible place!

Let us know if you ever bike to us down below!

Did you know that today is ?

Which is perfect for Fora, because one of the many groups we run as part of our programming is called Conflict Resolution!

Patients recovering from or currently struggling with addiction may face a lot of conflict externally and internally throughout their lives, so groups like this are vital.

The counselor leading this group says it's an open-ended and highly valuable way for patients to process and engage in healthy strategies to manage and solve conflicts in their lives with a strong focus on Dialectical Behavior Therapy. He says it leads to some deep and beneficial conversations.

Facing conflict can be out of our control, but how we respond to it is within our control. We'd love to hear your reflections on this concept and day down below!

We are grateful to everyone who attended the Hope and Freedom Gala on Saturday! We had so much fun coming together to celebrate our award winners and raise funds that will ensure that patients receive high-quality care and support throughout their recovery journey at Fora Health.

We also deeply appreciated District 1 Counselor Candace Avalos's inspiring speech on why recovery matters to her and the community, as well as her passionate advocacy for funding organizations like Fora.

Special thanks to our amazingly generous sponsors and attendees; we raised over $215,000! We can’t say it enough – Thank you; Thank you; Thank you!

This post is excellent! Therapy is crucial to what we do to support patients struggling with addiction at Fora. That's because they may be dealing with concurrent psychiatric illness such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress, or other acute mental health issues. Patients with a dual diagnosis are seen by Qualified Mental Health Professionals (QMHP) with highly specialized training in this area at Fora.

🛋️💙 Today is National Psychotherapy Day 💙🛋️

Therapy is more than talking—it’s about healing, growth, and discovering new ways to navigate life’s challenges. 🌼

✨ Psychotherapy can help with:
✔️ Managing stress, anxiety, and depression
✔️ Improving relationships and communication
✔️ Building coping skills and resilience
✔️ Finding hope and clarity during difficult times

We believe seeking therapy is a sign of strength, not weakness. Everyone deserves a safe space to be heard, understood, and supported. 💚

If you’ve been thinking about reaching out for support, today is the perfect reminder that you don’t have to go through it alone.

We had an incredible concert last night from the amazing Skyler Ray at Fora Health’s courtyard.

This was not only a chance for staff and patients to enjoy good times and great music, but a moment to celebrate our shared journey of recovery and life.

Skyler told his inspiring story of overcoming addiction, succeeding in music and how people can achieve their dreams - while repeatedly celebrating everyone in attendance for either graduating, supporting the community or actively working on their recovery.

Events like these mean the world to patients where they feel seen, heard and have some much-needed joy - and we’re thrilled it went so well.

Also, thanks to for setting up a fantastic stage show!
