Coordinated Care Pathway Center Opening
(Portland, OR) -- Multnomah County will open its deflection center next Monday. The Coordinated Pathway Center is located at 9th and Southeast Pine Street. It's operated by Tuerk House. Police will bring people caught with user-amounts of illegal drugs to the center, if they're eligible for deflection instead of jail under Oregon's new drug law. The Pathway Center will be open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. weekdays and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekends. People brought to deflection will be directed toward addiction treatment programs and other services.
