Health Justice Recovery Alliance
If you or someone you know needs help, call 503-575-3769.
The Health Justice Recovery Alliance (HJRA) is dedicated to improving the lives of communities most harmed by the war on drugs. We have been at the forefront of supporting Measure 110 implementation, which provides critical funding for housing, harm reduction, Substance Use Disorder treatment, employment support, and peer mentorship throughout Oregon. Our focus remains on enhancing Measure 110’s implementation, increasing investment in vital services, and building the capacity of service providers across the state.
By advocating for resources to address the inequities created by racist drug war policies, the Health Justice Recovery Alliance and our allies are making significant progress in transforming addiction and recovery services.
Measure 110’s impacts are visible: Oregon now has more detox, treatment and recovery beds, additional peers and clinical staff, better access to treatment, and reduced barriers to care.
BHRN Services: Saving lives and healing communities through increased services
Measure 110 services are ramping up investment in long-needed services.
Detox and recovery beds are being provided, new counseling staff are being hired, and people can access addiction and treatment services more quickly, closer to home, free of charge, and without fear of arrest.
We shouldn’t expect the police to solve social problems like mental illness, homelessness, or addiction — and we cannot arrest our way out of these problems. It's time for solutions that let mental health and drug treatment professionals help people who need and want treatment, freeing up police to focus on violent crime instead of implementing controversial policies that disproportionately harm Black and brown communities and our houseless neighbors.
We are calling for real solutions, real safety, real healing. We all agree that leaders need to do more - and fast - to address the crisis in our community. They need to finally provide the housing, drug treatment, and mental health care that people need and voters have overwhelmingly supported.
