Recovery Works NW

What Recovery Works NW does

Recovery Works NW is a private, for-profit substance use disorder (SUD) and behavioral health treatment provider founded in 2014 by Drs. Ben and Bryan Schwartz and headquartered in Tigard, Oregon. The organization operates five clinical sites across the Portland metropolitan area and Yamhill County, including a 16-bed medically monitored withdrawal management facility (Foster Road Detox) in southeast Portland. Its service portfolio covers a full continuum of care: medically supervised detox, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) using Sublocade, Vivitrol, Brixadi, Suboxone, Subutex, and oral naltrexone, outpatient individual counseling, an intensive outpatient program (IOP), group counseling, addictions-specific mental health therapy, a state-certified DUII diversion program, case management, and certified peer support.

The business model is a fee-for-service healthcare services operation reimbursed primarily through Oregon Health Plan (Medicaid) and most major commercial insurance carriers (Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare, Moda Health). Detox is currently OHP- and self-pay-only, with commercial insurance not yet accepted for that service line. Capital expansion in 2023 was financed through Oregon's Measure 110 cannabis tax revenue grants and a co-investment from Clackamas County, rather than through venture capital or debt issuance. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer with no referral required for most programs, supplemented by community partner referrals and a modest web presence; no enterprise sales motion or significant digital marketing is described.

Recovery Works NW functions as a multi-site clinical operator with a stated headcount of 1-10 employees (likely understated given the scope of operations across five sites including an inpatient facility). It is independently owned with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or funding rounds. The company competes on a combination of regulatory certifications, low-barrier access, geographic coverage, and integration of peer support specialists with lived recovery experience alongside licensed clinical staff.
