Lasko Refuge provides sober living accommodations in Portland, Oregon with a distinctive philosophy centered on resident autonomy. Rather than enforcing rigid compliance, the program evaluates participation based on individual motivation, allowing residents to shape their own recovery journey. While 12-Step participation is supported, it remains optional rather than mandatory. Staff members work collaboratively with residents to establish and pursue personalized recovery goals in a supportive environment. The organization maintains three houses throughout Portland—two exclusively for men and one coed facility. All residents enjoy comfortable living spaces, complimentary gym memberships, access to various streaming services, and outdoor areas designed to enhance the recovery experience. This approach reflects Lasko Refuge's core belief that empowering individuals with choice and control creates a more sustainable foundation for long-term sobriety.
