Hooper Detox Stabilization Center, Portland OR

It’s a free rehab, but you will hear more complaining here than anywhere else in your life. Also for some reason they allow the same patient control who watches what on the TV, and often they have the mental capacity of a child (for example, Harry Potter movies are the norm.) Or Kevin Smith “comedies. ”

Also for some reason some people are allowed (if you consider it an advantage) to stay there for weeks. There will be people who will be there when you arrive, and they’re still there when you leave. Frankly I’m not sure how or why they get more time there than others, I’ve just always noticed it.

I asked one guy why he was able to stay there for so long, he said he was “waiting for a bed to open up somewhere else. ” But everyone knows there’s a shortage of beds at other places. Why do they let a select few wait it out at Hooper, meanwhile kick the rest back out to the streets? Favoritism (specifically from the counselors) is my guess. Unfortunately I’ve never really clicked with any of my counselors, who just see as another random client.

Also be careful of the food. I would advise eating as less of it as possible.

Last time I was there someone got COVID (they wouldn’t say who), so they kicked a bunch of us out because we had “contact” with them. Anyway I’m pretty sure I did get COVID. Well at least they gave me a free ride home (and unfortunately COVID too).

All in all it’s a free detox. But like I said, the complaining is out of this world.

Very relaxing and comfortable facility and very capable of helping you succeed. Thank all of you so much for a positive experience and all the help.

Greetings to y'all
I was referred here by the VA nurse in Portland and I was at first happy or relieved. However, I found that for whatever reason my WA state insurance does not comply with Oregon and therefore, I cannot seek long-term or residential treatment from Oregon anymore.

First day of check in was very chaotic and they didn't seem to adhere to veteran's disability at all.

Then, they'd have you stripped down and with no real explanation, for you to shower in a unisex shower where I could hear the lady and male giggling about something. In essence, they just see me as another addict and not someone who has underlying issues.

The staff were alright but there were male staff in and out as well as the beds were definitely not placed 6 ft distanced. I am not at all used to loud and sudden noises and this made my PTSD worsened.

The meds or concunctions of drugs were Librium, Benzo and gabapentin. This I was a bit grateful since I have do have arthritis pain and gabapentin seemed to help.

The shift nurses are alright and the one that was kinder to me was named Chris. The head staff would often just joke around and possibly seeing us as less than nothing so they shared many personal things and chit chat.

Also, the phone did and did not work at times and it frustrated many of us since communication is crucial since many of us still have emails and family to deal with.

Overall, I left on the 14th. I could not take the vague answers and I didn't understand why the residential treatment wouldn't accept WA State insurance since I don't have OHP.

It was a bit sad since I have PTSD and a disabled veteran from the Marine Corps and I am appalled that they wouldn't work something out for me.

These people will forever have a place in my heart, the love and commitment of the staff for us that have fallen is unmatched. Thank you for my life!

The staff was really friendly and attentive. They were very understanding and made me feel comfortable during my detox. I would reccomwnd this place to anyone who is trying to get clean and change their lives for the better.

This place changed my LIFE!
I was that one addict that thought, I didn't have time for treatment. I now laugh about this insanity
Let me tell you about my story, my mom found out that she was pregnant with me 33 years ago in Hooper detox.
I ended up in this detox program when I was 20 years old coming off meth.
I have been able to stay clean for 12 years.
Let me tell you addiction is no joke!
If you're ready to make a change in your life please get the help from any type of program.
You are loved wanted and needed even at your ROCK BOTTOM!

This place is seriously great. The staff is genuine. You can finally rest for as long as you need it. They take care of you and i would gladly recommend it to anyone.

If u r Ready to get Clean n Serious, No better place than Hoopers to get sober n Detox! The staff is friendly, professional, well trained. The Food is Good. The place is Heaven! Watching movies, eating, n sleeping all day! They know Wut 2 do, I wish I would've came here 1st instead of going cold turkey or jail.

I need advice I left early thinking I can do it on my own but I can't will theytake me back tomorrow? BC I I can't do i t alone and I thought I could any answers will be helpful

This place is absolutely amazing! Detox was extremely relaxing and helpful. After detox I was able to do outpatient through them while trying to find a rehab facility to go into and they definitely are the best! I wouldn’t choose to go anywhere else. I am now 47 days clean and 5 weeks into the outpatient program! I wouldn’t have made it this far without them. It doesn’t seem like a very long time but it absolutely a start to a amazing and successful life!

This place is the best step forward to being sober its a nice warm place to be they have great food great staff and i would go back

The last time I checked in as a client to Hooper was 11.20.2006, I have been sober ever since. Wonderful staff. Great program.

Front desk reception is very rude. I called to leave a message for someone and tried to check to see if I was on a list of release information. She would not even take my name or name of patient. If anything at least don't be rude, be professional and courteous.

Took a friend there and they are helping as much as I possibly can very intelligent and caring staff.

I have gotten to know the team at Hooper Detox over the past 9 months and value them as people and providers of care. I believe them them to be people of integrity who care deeply about the well being of those who seek out their help. In my opinion and experience their #1 concern is the well being of the client. They teach them how to live their lives sober, help them build a network of support and take the necessary steps to move forward in their personal recovery process. I have worked in the treatment industry for 3 years and would absolutely trust them with the well being of my friends and loved ones.

I have been here a few times and the place is HEAVEN! I've tried kicking so many times cold turkey and when I was referred here it was the first time I've ever heard of Hooper or tried detox, which WORKED!

These people truly care. You might get turned away the first day you show up, but don't give up. You will get in the second day. Get help.

They are really good at helping people that are ready for help. The food is pretty bad and the beds arent exactly comfortable, but they get people in quickly and are good at making the detox process pretty painless.

I would like to start a dialogue about systems trauma and the relation it has for me with hooper detox. I had a little too much to drink one night well ok well being a drug addict that is diagnosed with a mental health disorder I have been taken to hooper detox by the police more than once. But one night I was assaulted by an angry staff member.this individual threw me around like a rag doll because he did not like what I said.dragging me around by my shirt from the main detox area and litterally throwing me in an isolation cell. I reported it and it was overlooked as I am just a drunk.well looking back at it now over three years ago I still call it an assault.shame on the staff for victimizing the population it serves.

Amazing staff who truly care about you. They not only offer a very comfortable detox but also help with setting up aftercare. I have almost 8 months clean and sober and it all started with the support I received at hooper.
