About Eastern Oregon Detox Center – Pendleton
The nonprofit Eastern Oregon Recovery Center (EORC) used to be the Eastern Oregon Alcoholism Foundation. The recovery center on Pioneer Place in Pendelton, Oregon is an adult inpatient detoxification program for substance use disorder. Clients can be referred to EORC’s other nearby location for residential treatment. They have transitional multifamily housing for low-income clients, also at one of their other locations. The organization accepts Medicaid and other government funding.
In this 10 bed medical detox program, you’ll have around the clock care from licensed nurses, LPNs, and detox technicians who are overseen by licensed physicians. Medical personnel will give you medication to ease withdrawal symptoms to make your detox more manageable. Many people avoid treatment for substance use because they’re worried about the difficulty of detox. A medically managed detox allows you to avoid the worst withdrawal symptoms so you can get right to work on your recovery plan.
If appropriate, you’ll be referred to EORC’s 36 bed inpatient treatment facility for men and women. The treatment here starts with a biopsychosocial and substance use assessment following American Society of Addiction Medicine guidelines (ASAM). The assessment is a holistic approach to treating addiction by determining the psychological, biological, and social factors driving your addiction. Once determined, staff develops a customized treatment plan that empowers clients to take an active role in their treatment.
After completing the inpatient detox or inpatient program, you may qualify for EORC’s supportive housing program. The program offers substance free housing for low income clients who qualify. There is housing for single parents, families, and individuals. Housing gives clients the opportunity to continue in recovery while working toward specific goals, such as employment and independent living.
