Multnomah County, OR expands substance use and mental health services with Treatment Readiness pilot

Multnomah County, OR Treatment Readiness Substance Health

Treatment Readiness bridges the service gap faced by formerly incarcerated residents who aren't prepared to confront health issues. The Mental Health Unit deploys community health experts, parole officers, and case managers to assist 40-person cohorts. The first step in Treatment Readiness is fulfilling short-term needs like safe shelter, food, and hygiene. County staff work with participants on securing identification cards, housing, and life skills once immediate needs are fulfilled.
