How We Open Doors
At Cascadia, care begins with you. Whether you come to us for mental health, addiction treatment, primary care, housing, wellness services, or more, you’re in the right place. Our teams connect services around you—not the other way around.
Whether you’re here for one service or many, we work with you to build a care plan that fits your life and needs.
To access our services, please call the Cascadia Access, Information, and Referral line at 503-674-7777, Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. To learn about our available affordable housing options, please visit our Housing Waitlist page.
Cascadia has many services and programs to help serve our clients receive appropriate services before or during a mental health crisis.
Cascadia treats mental health conditions in children, adolescents, adults and families through a combination of counseling, skills training, medication and other factors such as employment and housing. We know that there is not a “one-size-fits-all” approach when it comes to a plan that supports your recovery and wellness processes. Cascadia wants to work with you to design a treatment plan that will support your goals and your overall health.
Cascadia strives to provide each individual in recovery the resources and support that they need through the integration of primary care with mental health support. We can help you with substance use through our new addition of Medication Supported Recovery (MSR) which combines both behavioral therapy and medication to treat both opioid and methamphetamine use disorders. Cascadia has also been providing gambling treatment for more than 20 years through our program that is customized for each client to help you regain control of your life, finances, and relationships and finally be rid of your dependence on gambling.
We recognize that achieving whole health care can be tough- having your primary care doctor and your counselor at two different locations can cause you unnecessary travel time and confusion from seeing two different providers to receive help. In early 2018 Cascadia introduced primary care into our available services, so you can now receive mental and behavioral health care and primary care all at one Cascadia health center. Our medical team will work side-by-side with your behavioral health team to support all of your health care needs in one location.
For over 40 years Cascadia has impacted the Portland metro area by providing services and support to our community. Cascadia has a program that will help you become the best version of you, whether that is through our Supported Employment or Education programs, providing dedicated outreach to those experiencing homelessness and struggling with mental health conditions, or through providing skill-building training.
Peer Wellness Services are composed of individuals who have lived experiences with mental health and/or substance abuse challenges. Each Peer Wellness Specialist (PWS) goes through an intensive state-approved training program that teaches them to use their lived experience to provide advocacy and support for other individuals with similar challenges. Peer wellness promotes engagement in therapeutic and wellness activities, both of which helps participants reach their goals.
