The Portland People Outreach Project (PPOP) is an all-volunteer peer-run organization in Portland that provides harm reduction supplies to people who use drugs. They distribute clean syringes, pipes, overdose-reversing naloxone (Narcan), and a variety of other harm reduction, wound care, and safer sex supplies. Unlike many needle exchanges, PPOP is need-based, not 1-for-1, meaning their users do not have to dispose of used syringes in order to receive new ones.
PPOP distributes supplies by means of a bicycle outreach on Friday evenings, at a fixed site in St. Johns on Saturday afternoons, and at several locations by car on Sundays. See their online schedule for more details: ''https://www.portlandpeoplesoutreach.org/#/'' +
A specialized unit that assists individuals in behavioral crisis and connects them with appropriate mental health services. +
The mission of the '''Behavioral Health Unit (BHU)''' is to coordinate the response of Law Enforcement and the Behavioral Health System to aid people in behavioral crisis resulting from known or suspected mental illness and or drug and alcohol addiction. The BHU is located within the Portland Police Bureau’s Central Precinct.
The '''Behavioral Health Response Teams (BHRT)''' pairs a patrol officer and a licensed mental health professional from Cascadia Project Respond. The Portland Police Bureau has three BHRT cars. The officers and mental health professionals work proactively with individuals who have a mental illness and are identified as having multiple or high risk contacts with police. The BHRT cars work to connect individuals to appropriate community resources in order to reduce their frequency of contact with police. Referrals to the BHRT cars are made through patrol officers.
The '''Service Coordination Team (SCT)''' is a program that offers treatment to the City of Portland’s most frequent drug and property crime offenders to address their drug and alcohol addictions, mental health treatment, and criminality. This program has successfully graduated over one hundred former drug offenders from its treatment program, reducing recidivism among program graduates by 91%. +
