Lifeworks NW - Project Network Womens Residential

Women-Only Residential Setting

Project Network provides 24/7 residential treatment in Portland for women 18 and older. The program is structured to address both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions in a safe, gender-specific environment that fosters connection and stability during recovery.

Culturally Responsive Approach

The program places a special emphasis on supporting African American women while welcoming clients of all cultural backgrounds. By centering care around cultural identity and lived experiences, Project Network helps women engage in treatment and build trust with providers.

Family-Focused Care

Women can enter treatment without being separated from their children. The facility provides residential beds and onsite childcare, along with family-centered services such as case management, domestic violence support, and transportation assistance. These resources reduce barriers to treatment and allow mothers to focus on recovery while maintaining essential family bonds.

Evidence-Based Treatment and Ongoing Support

Care is grounded in evidence-based practices, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, the Matrix Model, and relapse prevention. Medications such as naltrexone, clonidine, and mental health prescriptions are available, and the program accepts clients using medications for opioid or alcohol use disorder prescribed elsewhere. Comprehensive assessments, overdose education, and structured discharge planning ensure women leave treatment with tools, community connections, and follow-up support to sustain long-term recovery.
