PARACLETE RECOVERY  Holistic, Substance Use Treatment Services

Holistic Treatment Services

Welcome to Paraclete Recovery

At Paraclete Recovery, we believe that healing from substance use is a deeply personal, transformative journey — one that deserves to be met with compassion, integrity, and genuine human connection. Our practice is rooted in the understanding that true recovery honors the whole person: mind, body, heart, and spirit. We recognize that each individual’s path is unique, and we are here to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and unwavering support as you reclaim your life, restore your sense of purpose, and rise into wholeness.

Our philosophy embraces the integration of evidence-based clinical care with holistic, trauma-responsive, and spiritually attuned practices. We offer a gentle, person-centered approach that weaves together harm reduction strategies, relapse prevention, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and relational support with restorative healing modalities such as Reiki, sound therapy, energy work, and heart-centered ceremonies to honor your milestones along the way. We also offer Human Design as a tool to help deepen self-awareness, illuminate strengths, and align you more fully with your authentic path.

At the heart of our work is a belief in the sacred nature of recovery — not simply as the absence of substances, but as an invitation to return to yourself with tenderness, courage, and hope. We meet you where you are, honoring your lived experiences and the wisdom you carry. Together, we create individualized treatment plans with meaningful, attainable goals that foster emotional resilience, enhance coping strategies, reduce substance use, and support the foundations of lasting recovery. Our care extends beyond symptom management; it is about nurturing wholeness, restoring dignity, and helping you cultivate a life rooted in authenticity, connection, and purpose.

Paraclete Recovery offers services throughout Oregon via telehealth, as well as in-person appointments at our welcoming office in Bend, Oregon. We accept most Insurance Plans, OHP/Pacific Source Community Solutions, and Pacific Source Commercial Health Plans. We offer payment at time service and accessible self-pay options through a sliding scale for income eligible individuals.

“Rooted in purpose. Strengthened in recovery. Rising into wholeness.”

  • At Paraclete Recovery, our care is relational, strengths-based, and goal-directed—designed to support the full bio-psycho-social-spiritual dimensions of recovery. We honor each person’s unique path, encouraging identity exploration beyond diagnosis and practices that foster coherence, nervous system regulation, and a renewed sense of purpose.

    Core services include comprehensive ASAM assessments, individualized treatment planning, and one-on-one counseling led by CADC certified professionals. Our approach integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), along with psychodynamic exploration, mindfulness, and somatic-based interventions to support emotional regulation and meaningful change. To sustain recovery, we offer relapse prevention, risk reduction, structured discharge planning, and ongoing recovery coaching.

    We understand the importance of a strong support network. Paraclete Recovery actively connects clients with a range of community resources, including support groups and peer recovery communities, mental health services and specialty providers, housing and employment resources, and holistic health and wellness offerings—ensuring clients have continued access to comprehensive care and support for long-term healing and personal growth.

  • We create sacred spaces to honor life’s significant milestones and nurture profound personal transformation through intentional, heart-centered ceremonies. These healing rituals, infused with the gentle energy of Reiki, the sacred vibrations of crystal healing, the soothing resonance of sound bath therapy, and the restorative flow of energy healing, are thoughtfully integrated to support substance use recovery and strengthen relapse prevention. By fostering deep release, spiritual renewal, and nervous system regulation, these modalities empower individuals to cultivate lasting resilience, inner balance, and a soulful connection to their authentic selves—creating a foundation for sustained healing and wholeness.

    For those drawn to deeper self-discovery, we lovingly weave insights from personalized Human Design Charts into the treatment process. This sacred, strengths-based wisdom illuminates your soul’s blueprint, helping align your path with your true essence, build resilience, and guide your purposeful evolution throughout the recovery journey.

  • At Paraclete Recovery, we are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards and maintaining strict confidentiality to ensure a safe, trusting environment where clients feel respected and supported throughout their healing journey.

    We collaborate with clients to establish clear, measurable SMART treatment planning goals that guide their recovery process. These goals are designed to be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound, allowing for transparent tracking of progress and meaningful outcomes. We define success through a combination of clinical progress, self-reported outcomes, and qualitative feedback. Key measures include reduction in substance use or maintenance of abstinence, increased emotional regulation and resilience, progress on individualized recovery goals, strengthened coping strategies and relapse prevention skills, and enhanced connection to self, purpose, and support networks.

    Client progress and outcomes are carefully documented in compliance with Oregon Administrative Rules (OARs) and aligned with best practices in trauma-informed care and culturally responsive service delivery, ensuring a respectful and effective treatment experience.
