Abstract:
Oregon’s Drug Addiction Treatment and Recovery Act, also known as Measure 110, decriminalized possession of small amounts of drugs for personal use and increased funding for substance use disorder treatment, harm reduction, and social services. As of early 2023, it is premature to assess the effectiveness of the Drug Addiction Treatment and Recovery Act, as the necessary systems are still being established to connect people who use drugs with assessment, treatment, harm reduction, and supportive services. This brief first summarizes the existing evidence on early implementation of the law, which aims to address substance use and substance use disorders from a health perspective rather than the traditional criminal legal perspective.
