Lifeways - Residential SUD Treatment Center

Community-Focused Residential Care

Lifeways Residential SUD Treatment Center in Ontario, Oregon offers co-ed residential treatment in a small, community-based setting. As part of Lifeways, a nonprofit behavioral health network serving Oregon and Idaho, the center helps residents build stability and confidence through counseling, medications for addiction treatment, and mental health care. Treatment stays of about 90 days give residents time to recover at a steady pace in a supportive environment.

Comfortable, Home-Like Setting

The facility houses about residents in separate men’s and women’s dorms, with shared living rooms, a dining space, and a commercial kitchen. This small-scale layout fosters daily connection and accountability while maintaining a warm, home-like feel. Residents enjoy access to recreation areas and community activities, including church and self-help meetings.

Integrated and Trauma-Informed Treatment

Care at Lifeways is designed for the whole person. The program includes individual and group therapy, medications for addiction treatment, and mental health support delivered in a trauma-informed setting. Residents can participate in both secular and faith-based groups, including SMART Recovery meetings, while receiving peer mentoring and case management to build recovery skills that extend beyond treatment.

Continued Support and Community Reintegration

Planning for life after treatment begins early. Lifeways staff help residents secure housing, find job training opportunities, and connect with ongoing recovery resources in the community. As a nonprofit provider, Lifeways welcomes adults from all backgrounds and offers a sliding fee scale to ensure access to care regardless of financial circumstances.
