"Joe Bazeghi, left, speaks with peers before they're dispatched to calls
with police as part of a small pilot project that began last year.
Recovery Works NW, where Bazeghi serves as director of engagement,
opened a detox center in Southeast Portland with Measure 110 funding.
The center set aside beds for the pilot so people could receive on-
demand detox that day.

John Karp-Evans, an administrator of the day center at Multnomah
County's Behavioral Health Resource Center, speaks with workers before
the shift gets under way. Every other week, people in recovery pair with
Portland police to respond to people struggling with addiction downtown.
