Oregon’s largest county plans to have a 24-hour sobering and crisis stabilization center to help people make their first steps toward recovery from drug addiction.
Multnomah County officials on Thursday announced tentative plans to purchase a building at 1901 S.E. Grand Ave. in Portland that will serve as the center when it opens, likely in late 2026. The facility will also serve as the permanent location for people to enter the county’s deflection program, which allows people to receive recovery services or treatment and avoid misdemeanor drug charges for low-level possession.
