Structured Living
Residents are given requirements and expectations to help guide them toward the goal of self-sufficiency.
Certified Recovery Mentors
Through shared understanding, respect, and mutual empowerment, peer support specialists/mentors help people stay engaged in the recovery process.
Family Reunification
Over 40 children have been returned to their parent in the last 5 years at Soaring Heights as a result of their work in our program.
Houses of Hope
Our recovery homes have been described as, “Houses of Hope.” Our transitional houses provide a structured living environment for those who struggle with substance use disorders and want to change their lives.
Individuals will have the opportunity to maintain residence at Soaring Heights for up to 18 months. During this time, you will be guided and supported while you develop new sober relationships, restore life skills, gain independence, transition back into mainstream society, and move on to permanent housing.
At Soaring Heights, we utilize a Social Model of Recovery. With this model we are able to emphasize the process of relearning how to handle the challenges and stressors that daily life often presents by having positive role models. This is implemented by starting with an individualized, needs-driven assessment to identify outside resources and encourage goals in hope to harness change and self-sufficiency. We also have a Certified Recovery Mentor, who assists in working through any barriers to success by creating a plan of action for care outside and inside of the homes. We believe it takes a village and because of this, we get to celebrate when the individual learns to lead sober, productive lives in communities.
Miracles Happen—
“Before I was able to get into Soaring Heights, I was homeless living outside of the capitol building. Getting into Soaring Heights saved my life. I would have lost my life to addiction. While at Soaring Heights I got a job, and eventually moved into my apartment. I got my cat Lunar back. Upon getting housed through Salem Housing, I’m enrolled in Edgewater Community Garden and on my way back to employment. Sobriety has taken a long time for me, and the only way to do this change is through our Father Jesus Christ!”

May of 2023, I moved to Oregon from California. While in California, things seemed to move quickly but then halted. I had a month clean, got into a program, and found housing but, where I was living was not a great fit for me. I prayed and asked God to put me...
