“When someone decides they’re ready to enter treatment, they’re ready right then. The longer they have to wait, the harder it becomes to get them into treatment. Here, we can get them evaluated, and with a peer mentor immediately,” said Crow-Martinez."

"...we need to shift the focus away from politicizing the issue of fentanyl use and instead refocus the conversation on the best way to handle those who become addicted." https://t.co/fp4SwxdzBy

[Health Justice Recovery Alliance @HJRAOregon]

"...we need to increase investments in harm reduction programs and double down on a public health approach to the overdose crisis to keep our neighborhoods, friends, and loved ones safe." https://t.co/ewzK7wz1ss

"...these schools don’t just provide academic continuity, peer support and needed services. They empower long-term recovery that supports these individuals and the whole community as a result, “'keeping students healthy and thriving and alive.'”

"The increase in overdose deaths wasn’t a result of the Oregon bill. [It was] the rapid spread of unregulated fentanyl during this same period."

It was a beautiful ☀️🌳 day for a community event at Dawson Park!
The #Measure110 BHRN structure helps ensure that people struggling with addiction don’t fall through the cracks of the system, and gives providers more tools to save lives. #orleg #orpol

"Like any health issue, addiction care should be evidence-based, rooted in science, and met with compassion. We must never again settle for a system that uses stigma, shame, punishment and fear as the only way to access help." #orpol #orleg

"...The rise in deaths was entirely due to fentanyl. All of it."

"It wasn’t until I encountered a local harm reduction group that my life took a turn.

[Harm reduction], coupled with stable medication for Opioid Use Disorder, allowed me to find stability and begin the slow, painful process of rebuilding my life."

"There was always a view that mental health was something that came after addiction, and caused mental health,” she says.

“But increasingly, studies show that mental health comes first, and that addiction is a response or symptom of other health issues.”
