Final Important Notes on Funding in Oregon

· Oregon Health Plan (OHP - Medicaid): This is the primary public funding source for low-income individuals. Most county-contracted providers accept it.

· Measure 110: This measure created Behavioral Health Resource Networks (BHRNs) in every county to provide addiction services. While funding is in flux, many services (like peer support, harm reduction, and health screenings) are available. Your county mental health authority or 211 can direct you to the BHRN provider in your area.

· Sliding Scale: Non-profit providers like Central City Concern and Willamette Family offer fees based on your income.

· Persistence is Key: Waitlists for residential treatment and sober living can exist. Keep calling and stay on lists. Utilize free support meetings (AA, NA, SMART Recovery, Celebrate Recovery) while you wait.

Start your search by calling the Oregon Substance Use Helpline at 1-800-923-4357 or dialing 2-1-1. They will provide you with the most current and localized information for accessing help in your specific county.
