4D Recovery

We believe that every individual is an expert in their own lives; as such, they have the right to choose a self-directed approach to recovery that meets their needs.

Accordingly, we host a variety of meetings and activities for a range of people. These include but are not limited to:

Alcoholics Anonymous
Narcotics Anonymous
Refuge Recovery
Recovery Dharma
Sounds of Recovery (an art-based recovery group)
Recovery yoga
Heroin Anonymous
Wellbriety
Medication-Assisted Recovery Anonymous
4D Specific Recovery Groups: Open for Attack, a men’s vulnerability group, LGBTQ Collaging, and Women’s Empowerment.

Please note that while our peer recovery mentors are available only to 18-35 year-olds in Multnomah, Washington, and Clackamas counties, our recovery meeting and events are open to anyone who identifies as in or seeking recovery.

Supportive recovery housing — also referred to as a halfway house or sober living — offers a great post-treatment or early recovery option for those new to recovery. Residents live with a group of peers who are all in recovery. These homes provide a supportive environment that bridges the gap between a treatment facility and returning to independent living.

Our supportive recovery housing is a great option for those who are worried about returning home to an environment where they last used drugs and alcohol, or where family members and partners may not be in recovery. Being around drugs and alcohol can seriously derail the recovery, and supportive housing can help alleviate this risk.

Recovery housing typically requires participants to be involved in some type of peer recovery support. This includes mutual aid meetings like AA or Refuge Recovery, a peer mentor, and shared chores within the home. Fellow residents are encouraged to provide support and encouragement to their peers.

At 4D, we believe that the only way to overcome the substance use disorder epidemic is to be active in the community through increased civic engagement opportunities. We envision a future where systems, communities, and individuals work together to ensure all people receive the support needed to find and sustain recovery from substances.

Civic engagement makes a difference in our communities by improving knowledge, skills, and values. This in turn improves the quality of life in our community.

4D’s civic engagement focuses on reducing stigma, increasing recovery-centered funding, and improving the availability of services for people seeking recovery.
