Knapp House is a nonprofit organization based in Portland, OR.
Our Mission is to provide clean and sober housing for alcoholics and addicts

Social Life in Recovery
Knapp House understands the need for a social outlet for young people in recovery. Just because you don’t want to drink and use drugs anymore, doesn’t mean you don’t want to have fun!
The 4th Dimension is a dedicated sober club that provides a safe and fun environment for the recovery community. We strongly encourage each of our members to check it out. They house 12 step meetings, dances, game nights, movie nights, Blazers games on the big screen and everything in between!
