Drug and alcohol rehab in Oregon.
Medical detox and residential treatment on a hill above the Columbia River — including methadone-supported detox, which very few programs in the state offer.
Where Oregon treatment happens
A hill above the Columbia River.
Virtue at The Pointe sits in Astoria, at the mouth of the Columbia, where the river meets the Pacific. The bridge, the water and the weather are all part of the experience of being there — and for most people the distance from wherever they were using is part of why it works.
It draws people from Portland, from the coast, from southwest Washington, and from a lot further than that. Two hours from Portland International, which our admissions team will help you plan around.
What makes Oregon different
Methadone-supported detox, which almost nowhere offers.
Most treatment centers will not take you if you are on methadone. Some will take you and then expect you to come off it first, alone, before you arrive. Astoria is one of only two Virtue locations that continues methadone as part of treatment — in partnership with CODA — and it is the reason a large share of our Oregon calls happen at all.
If you are on methadone or Suboxone, tell admissions what you take and how long you have been taking it. Please do not stop or change it on your own before you call — that decision is a medical one, made with our team rather than in advance of it.
- Nursing on site 24 hours a day
- Medically monitored withdrawal management
- Comfort and withdrawal medication as clinically appropriate
- Methadone-assisted treatment, in partnership with CODA
- A move straight into residential rather than a discharge
What medication is appropriate for you, and at what dose, is an individual clinical decision made after assessment. Ask on the call — nobody will be able to answer it properly from a web page, including this one.
What a stay involves
Seven days a week of programming, and a coast to use.
The clinical work is the core of it. What sits around the clinical work is what people tend to remember.
EMDR and CPT
Trauma-focused therapies for the people whose assessment calls for them, rather than offered to everyone as a headline.
Programming seven days a week
Including weekends, because the empty Sunday is where a lot of early recovery comes undone.
Equine therapy
Weekly, off site. Unnerving for about ten minutes and then, for a lot of people, the part they talk about afterwards.
Coastal outings
Small groups into Astoria and along the coast — the Column, the beach, the museums. Practice at ordinary life.
Aquatic center and gym
Pool, hot tub, weights and treadmill, several days a week. Sleep and appetite come back faster with it than without.
The Battle Buddy welcome
You are paired with someone already in the program on your first day, so the first conversation is with a peer rather than a clipboard.
What we treat
Meth and alcohol lead the calls we take in Oregon.
Oregon is a stimulant-heavy state, and methamphetamine is the substance we hear about most here — ahead of alcohol, with opioids and fentanyl behind them. Opioid callers are disproportionately on methadone or asking about it, which is why the MAT question comes up so early in Oregon conversations.
Paying for treatment
In network with Oregon’s regional plans.
Alongside the national carriers, we are in network with Providence Health Plan and PacificSource — the plans most likely to be covering someone who actually lives in Oregon.
And most PPO plans accepted. What your plan covers depends on the plan — verification is free and takes a few minutes.
Coverage is not the only thing verification settles.
The same call settles what level of care to start at and — if you are on methadone — how your medication would be handled from the day you arrive. Those two answers are what most Oregon callers actually need before they can decide anything.
The World Trade Center Health Program is also accepted, alongside TriWest for veterans and military families.

(866) 461-3339- Do you take my insurance?
- We are in network with Providence Health Plan, PacificSource, Cigna (EverNorth), UnitedHealthcare and Optum, Curative, HealthSmart, Uprise Health, First Choice Health and TriWest, and we accept most PPO plans — as well as the World Trade Center Health Program. Providence and PacificSource cover a large share of people living in Oregon, so there is a good chance your plan is one we already work with. A free, confidential verification is the fastest way to know exactly what yours covers.
- Do you have medical detox and inpatient rehab in Oregon?
- Yes — Virtue at The Pointe in Astoria offers medically supervised detox and residential treatment on the same site, with nursing on site around the clock. Most people move straight from detox into residential without changing providers or starting over with a new team.
- Can I continue methadone, or do you offer MAT?
- Yes — Astoria is one of only two Virtue locations offering methadone-assisted treatment, in partnership with CODA, including for people already established on it. Please do not stop or change your medication before you call; tell our admissions team what you take and how long you have been on it, and the medical team will coordinate from there. What is appropriate for you is an individual clinical decision made after assessment.
- What is the setting like?
- Astoria sits at the mouth of the Columbia River where it meets the Pacific, and Virtue at The Pointe looks out over the water and the Astoria–Megler Bridge. It is a genuine change of scenery rather than a clinical building on a main road, and for many people the distance from where they were using is part of what makes it work. Programming includes coastal outings into Astoria itself, so the setting is used rather than just admired.
- Do you have outpatient or IOP in Oregon?
- Our Oregon program is anchored on medical detox and residential treatment at Astoria. If you are looking for outpatient care specifically, ask our admissions team — they can tell you what the current step-down path looks like and, where we are not the right fit, help you find a program that is.
- How much does treatment cost?
- Cost depends on your level of care, your length of stay and your insurance, which is why a free verification is a more useful first step than a number on a page. Our team will tell you what your plan covers and what, if anything, you would be responsible for — before you commit to anything.
If methadone is the reason other programs said no, start here.
Tell the team what you take, where you are, and what your insurance is. A single call covers all three, and it commits you to nothing.
