Alano Club of Portland

Mission

The Alano Club of Portland is a vibrant, inclusive and trauma-informed recovery support center that offers a diverse array of free and accessible resources, supports and services to anyone in or seeking recovery from substance use and mental health disorders.

Bottom Line for Portland

Oregon is second in the nation in substance use and misuse among adults and adolescents.

Oregon is dead last in the nation in availability of treatment and services for people facing addiction.

Through innovative programming — including mutual-aid support meetings; movement-based exercise through The Recovery Gym and Run TRG; cooking and arts classes and cultural events; yoga and mindfulness-based meditation; peer-delivered services; free legal services; and and overdose prevention work through Project RED (the largest naloxone distribution program in Oregon) — and collaborative work with local and national partners like Literary Arts, p:ear, Pearl Jam, Wellbriety and many others, the Alano Club offers free, trauma-informed resources, services and supports to anyone in or seeking recovery (however they define it) from substance use and mental health disorders, serving more than 10,000 people monthly. Amid the ongoing substance use and mental health epidemics in Oregon and nationally, the need for centers like ours has never been greater.

Quote

“My recovery started at the Alano Club, and I joined the board of directors because the Alano Club does innovative, inspiring work in the communities I feel deeply connected to. Being a board member has allowed me to feel even more connected to the sober community in Portland, and to continue to use my platform to help others find that same connection in their own recovery.” —Gregory Gourdet, Alano Club of Portland Board of Directors
