Oregon Treatment Centers

Portland, nicknamed City of Roses, is Oregon's (OR) most populated city (pop. 582,130) and is a part of three different counties (Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas). Portland is also the major piece in the Portland metropolitan area, the home of 2,159,720 residents. Portland is known for being one of the world's greenest cities in the world and has a thriving public transportation system. Portland's economy is largely driven by technology based businesses (nicknamed the Silicon Forest) with Intel employing over 14,000 Portland residents. The Port of Portland also is the third largest US port on the west coast and is the largest shipper of wheat in the US.

Making up over half of Oregon's total population, the Portland metro area's drug problems reflect the Oregon's ongoing struggle with alcohol abuse and drug addiction. Nearly all the major drugs are available in Portland, including cocaine, crack, heroin, methamphetamines (meth), and marijuana. Meth abuse and addiction remains perhaps Portland's (and Oregon's) biggest drug problem. Local lawmakers have passed legislation restricting over the counter sales of pharmaceuticals used to make meth. This has worked to reduce the amount of meth produced locally, but production has largely shifted outside of Portland to Mexico. Drunk driving and alcohol abuse in general are also major concerns in Portland, composing approximately 55% of the states admissions in 2008.
