Let’s talk gratitude! We know that gratitude is part of the foundation of recovery. We couldn’t be more grateful to our partners at 4D Recovery for their incredible work serving young people in Oregon experiencing and recovering from substance addictions. This organization is rushing to serve the huge gap for youth substance use disorder treatment services. We are grateful supporters of this fine organization.

And we had a blast at the 4D Gratitude Night last week. Thanks for the invite, and congratulations on your new youth SUD treatment license!!! Please keep up the great work!!!

Recently published:

“Our findings suggest that the increase in the state’s fatal drug overdose rate after implementation of M110 should not be attributed to drug decriminalization, and the state’s contemporaneous transition to a fentanyl-based unregulated drug market is the more plausible explanation."

With support from Oregon Measure 110, Recovery Works NW has more than doubled our capacity for management of life-saving medications to treat fentanyl/opioid use disorder, such as the Sublocade 30-day buprenorphine injection, and for outpatient substance use disorder treatment. Additionally, our Foster Road Detox expanded the Portland Metro Area's capacity for freestanding medical detox by nearly 20%, also with suppOregon Health Authority 110 and our partners at Oregon Health Authority.

In 2021, Oregon implemented Measure 110 (M110), becoming the first state in the US to decriminalize personal use of small amounts of any drug. That same year, the rate of fatal overdoses increased by around 50%, leading the state to recriminalize drug possession starting in September 2024.

Two corrections from this amazing KOIN 6 piece: there are roughly 106 total freestanding medical detox beds in Multnomah County, around 115 in the metro area. Recovery Works operates 16 of these. Additionally, our detox beds are operated by our LLC, not our 501c3 nonprofit affiliate, Recovery Works Foundation.

Funding for the launch of these 16 beds was provided by our partners at Oregon Health Authority and with continued support we are ready to open 32 residential treatment beds and have them operating at capacity by this time next year!

As Oregon continues with the ongoing fentanyl that has worsened in recent years, one drug addiction treatment organization is celebrating its one-year anniversary — and looking to expand its reach.…

Portland Police and Provider Connection Project is a program connecting people experiencing substance addictions in Portland directly with health care and social services instead of courts and jails, and it’s showing positive results. Big thanks to our partners Mental Health & Addiction Association of Oregon, Health Justice Recovery Alliance, Another Chance Drug and Alcohol Rehab Center of Portland, NW Instituto Latino, Sober Housing Oregon, Miracles Club, Portland Police Bureau, City of Portland, OR, and Multnomah County, Oregon. We all want kind, safe, and healthy communities. Let’s make it so.

We need investment in staffing and facilities to humanly treat humans experiencing fentanyl addiction now.

Oregon will reintroduce criminal penalties for hard drugs in September. Most offenders will have the option to "deflect" into treatment, but how will that work?

Happily working toward solutions to the fentanyl crisis.

Today addiction recovery providers, outreach peers and law enforcement are participating in a pilot program to connect people living on the streets who use drugs with vital services.

Today is our 10th pilot shift, working with Portland Police Bureau NRT Bike Squad, Oregon State Police, Miracles Club, Recovery Works NW, Northwest Instituto Latino de Adicciones, Mental Health & Addiction Association of Oregon, and the Multnomah County, Oregon Behavioral Health Resource Center helping folks access detox, treatment, Medication Assisted Treatment, peer support, and more.

To give you an idea of how scarce resources are, even with the additional infusion of funds from M110 - today outreach peers were told there were two detox beds available in the entire city. Those beds were filled in the first couple hours of today’s shift, and it’s both inspiring and heartbreaking to see how these trained peers work every resource and angle to get people help when there are still not enough services available.

One thing we’re learning from the pilot - people are desperate to get help, and it isn’t necessary to criminalize them to get them into services. When rapid access to low-barrier care is available, we’re better able to meet people where they are and get them into care during what is often a very short window of time when they may be ready and willing to accept help.
