Why women choose the coast over the city
A change of place changes what's possible.
Trying to get sober in the same neighborhoods, apartments and social circles where the addiction lived is one of the hardest things a woman can attempt. Awakenings gives Portland-area women a real break — a women-only home on the Pacific Ocean, staffed 24/7 by nurses and clinicians, where the only job is to heal.
- Coastal, women-only environment — no distractions, no old triggers
- ASAM Levels 3.1, 3.5 and 3.7 all under one roof
- Trauma-informed care built specifically for women
- Close enough for family visits and step-down back to Portland
Getting here from Portland Metro
Seaside is closer than you think.
From downtown Portland, take US-26 W (the Sunset Highway) straight to the coast — about 80 miles and 90 minutes in normal traffic. We regularly welcome women from across the Portland Metro area and Southwest Washington.
Need help with logistics? Our admissions team coordinates transportation from PDX and anywhere in the Portland Metro area.

Most common reason Portland women call us
Alcohol use disorder.
Alcohol is by far the substance we see most often from Portland Metro. If that's what's happening for you or someone you love, we built a page specifically for it — including detox, MAT options, and how the coastal setting helps early sobriety stick.
