What is The Farm?
The Farm is a faith-based, peer-run sober living home for men on a nine-acre property just east of Bend, Oregon. Residents live in a structured sober house, work a paid job on a W.O.R.C. crew, and pay their own rent.
Is The Farm a treatment center or rehab?
No. The Farm provides housing, work and mentoring. It is not treatment, detox or a medical facility, and no clinical services are provided on site. Residents attend licensed providers in town.
Who can apply?
Adult men who are sober on arrival, able to do outdoor physical work, and choosing recovery for themselves. Most are stepping down from detox, residential treatment or jail with an outpatient plan in place.
How long do residents stay?
Most residents stay 4 to 12 months, moving through three phases: Orientation (1 to 2 weeks), Building (part-time paid work), and Launch (full-time work and an exit plan).
How much does it cost?
The full program cost is $1,100 per week. Each resident pays $138.50 per week from his own paycheck, and families, sponsors or a scholarship cover the rest.
Are scholarships available?
Yes. Need-based scholarships cover part or all of the family portion for a limited number of beds each year. Ask about a scholarship when you apply.
Do residents have to work?
Yes. After a 1 to 2 week orientation, every resident works a paid job on a Way Out Recovery Crew (W.O.R.C.), scheduled around outside treatment and meetings.
Is The Farm faith-based?
Yes. The Farm is an openly Christian community with morning group, discipleship and mentoring. Applicants should choose the program knowing that.
Are meals provided?
No. Residents buy and cook their own food. Rooms are shared.
Is there drug and alcohol testing?
Yes. Residents are tested randomly throughout their stay.
Can my son come from out of state?
Yes. Families from outside Oregon are welcome. We help coordinate the move-in date and travel, and residents set up a local phone, ID and outpatient care during orientation.
Will our family get updates?
Yes, with the resident's written consent. We send regular updates on his phase, work and progress.
How are medications handled?
Residents manage their own prescribed medications and follow their prescriber's plan. Staff help schedule doctor and pharmacy visits.
Does The Farm take insurance?
The Farm's housing program is private pay and does not bill insurance. Outside treatment providers may bill insurance separately.
How do I apply?
Every resident applies and asks to attend. Apply online at livingrecovery.org, or call (541) 203-0283 or email info@co-ps.org with questions.
