Fora Health Treatment & Recovery

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, we hosted a celebration of recovery featuring two speakers from the Latino recovery community, Deena Castrejon Feldes, Executive Director from Transcending Hope and Daniel Rosales, Peer Mentor from NW Instituto Latino, who shared their stories of recovery and information about their organizations. We also treated staff and patients with a dessert reception, featuring Mexican pastries, Mexican hot chocolate, tea, and coffee. #HispanicHeritageMonth2024 #hispanicheritagemonth

We are excited to be honoring Doyal Smith with this year’s Samuel C. Wheeler Freedom Award! His inspiring recovery journey, interwoven in De Paul's history, has immensely impacted our neighbors seeking recovery! His lived experiences led Doyal to De Paul, at first as a patient. His journey allowed him to return as a volunteer and then staff member to begin building a successful career in the recovery field. Today, Doyal is the Executive Director at Dual Diagnosis Anonymous (DDA), which launched its first meeting in De Paul's basement. For 30 years, he has been a committed advocate for recovery and mental health to our neighbors seeking help. Don’t miss his inspiring story, the opportunity to come together to celebrate recovery and help us honor Doyal at Fora’s Hope and Freedom Gala on Saturday, October 5th at The Avenue.

Recovery Month celebrates the gains made by those in recovery, just as we celebrate health improvements made by those who are managing other health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, asthma, and heart disease. This observance reinforces the positive message that behavioral health is essential to overall health, prevention works, treatment is effective, and people can and do recover.

For Health will be closed on Monday, September 2nd, in observance of the Labor Day holiday. Services will continue to be provided for the Residential and Withdrawal Management (Detox) patients in our care. However, we will not admit to any programs or provide outpatient services, and our lobbies are closed.

Journey with us through the last five decades and see how your contributions have made a lasting impact in our community. Whether you were a partner when we opened as De Paul Treatment Centers in the 1970s, or you recently joined us to help provide lifesaving treatments at Fora Health, we are stoked to invite you to our annual gala! We will have special guests who will share our history, a live auction, and keynote announcements that will launch us into the future! Get your tickets here: https://lnkd.in/g69V-gt8

FORA HEALTH RANKED #5 in OREGON by NEWSWEEK as one of the best addiction treatment centers. The rankings include 400 inpatient, long-term, and residential addiction treatment centers in 25 states where these types of facilities are “most numerous”. Rankings are based on accreditation data provided by SAMHSA, reputation surveys from medical professionals and administrators in the industry as well as Google reviews. We are thrilled to receive this honor and recognition.

In July, we honor the legacy of author, advocate, and trailblazer Bebe Moore Campbell by recognizing Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. Moore Campbell's ability to tell impactful stories highlighting themes of racism, mental health, and family left a lasting mark on this world and is a foundation for much of the work that continues in support of Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) mental health. Mental health stigma is a negative or discriminatory attitude someone holds about mental health. Learn more about how to break down stigma in BIPOC communities and create a space where everyone feels comfortable sharing their experiences with mental health at this Mental Health America page: https://lnkd.in/gaqEYiKJ

It's National Parent's Day and we'd like to recognize all the incredible patients with children who come through our doors. Many patients not only work hard on their recovery for their own lives but so they can so they can be there for loved ones once they graduate. Fora Health does whatever it can when able to create fun events where patients and their children can have fun, be together and feel supported.
