About Madrona Recovery
Madrona Recovery is a Joint Commission-accredited residential treatment program built exclusively for youth ages 13-17 navigating mental health and substance use challenges. The Tigard, Oregon facility at 7000 SW Varns Street is anchored in a clinical model that pairs evidence-based therapy with consistent family involvement and access to the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. A sister campus in Brush Prairie, Washington extends the program across state lines.
The clinical team is led by Medical Director Han-Chun Liang, MD, a child and adolescent psychiatrist with more than 15 years of clinical experience. Executive Director Paul Bryant, LCSW, CADC III, has spent his career working with adolescents struggling with addiction, and Clinical Supervisor Ashlee Whitehead, LPC, LMHC, CADC I, provides clinical direction across the program. The team’s specialization in adolescent care matters: the developmental, cognitive, and family dynamics of a 14-year-old are not the same as those of an adult, and treatment built around that distinction tends to produce better outcomes.
Madrona offers medical detox, residential treatment, and intensive outpatient services. Conditions treated include substance use disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, and the broad spectrum of co-occurring presentations common among teens entering residential care. Clinical work draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, family therapy, skill-building groups, and trauma-informed care, with hands-on activities and outdoor experiences woven into the daily routine. SAMHSA records indicate dedicated programming for deaf or hard-of-hearing clients — a rare access feature in adolescent treatment.
The facility holds Joint Commission accreditation and accepts Medicaid (Oregon Health Plan), private insurance, and self-pay. Families can reach the Tigard intake team at (503) 749-0200 or the Brush Prairie campus at (360) 822-3400. Family involvement is built into the program design — testimonials repeatedly note frequent communication with parents and grandparents, multiple therapy sessions per day, and discharge planning that includes home contracts and follow-up resources to support the transition out of residential care.
