What is holding you back?
Fear. The thought of treatment may bring questions about withdrawal, daily routines, or being away from home. You can ask what to expect before deciding on your next step. If withdrawal concerns you, seek medical guidance rather than trying to manage it alone because withdrawal from some substances without medical oversight can be dangerous.
Finances. Worrying about cost is understandable. Fora Health accepts most insurance, including Oregon Health Plan CCOs, and offers a sliding scale for qualifying individuals based on income and family size. Ask about your coverage and potential costs instead of assuming treatment is out of reach.
Shame. You may worry about disappointing someone or being judged. Needing support does not make you less worthy of kindness. Asking for help is an act of care for yourself, not something you have to earn by struggling longer.
Uncertainty. You might not know which program fits, what recovery means for you, or whether you are ready. Start with those questions. You can be unsure and still take a meaningful step towards seeking support.
Finding the right level of care
Treatment is not one-size-fits-all. At Fora Health, different services offer different kinds of support:
Withdrawal management: Sometimes called detox, this medically supervised care helps people through acute withdrawal from drugs or alcohol. It can also lead to ongoing treatment like residential or outpatient treatment.
Residential treatment: Live-in care provides a structured environment with 24-hour staff, counseling, and individualized treatment planning. It creates space to focus on recovery with support close by.
Outpatient treatment: Counseling allows for flexibility through expanded hours, virtual care and telehealth options to support patient success. Fora Health provides standard and intensive outpatient options, with an assessment helping determine the appropriate level of support.
Your needs, strengths, preferences, and goals matter. Recovery does not have to look like someone else’s experience. Your treatment conversation should focus on what supports fit you, including any mental health concerns you want to discuss.
Take the first step at Fora Health
Call (503) 535-1151 and say, “I am interested in treatment, but I am not sure where to start.” Ask about care options, insurance, the assessment process, and current enrollment requirements. Share any concerns about withdrawal so you can ask about appropriate next steps.
Different programs have different admission processes, and availability varies. Calling ahead can help clarify what to expect before you arrive.
You do not have to have everything figured out to ask for help. You just have to start. A conversation today can be your first step toward a fresh start.
