When you toss a pebble into a pond,
at the point of contact you cause a change;
a change that ripples out in all directions.
And these waves of change are felt
by whatever else they happen to touch. 
This simple image symbolizes both
the vision and responsibility of who we are.

Treatment outcome and client satisfaction data show high positive response.
PORTLAND, OR, October 12, 2006 – As a participating agency for The Multnomah County Methamphetamine Treatment Expansion and Enhancement Project, ChangePoint has recently completed a 16-week implementation of the Matrix Model Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in English- and Spanish-speaking tracks.
The Multnomah County, Countywide Methamphetamine Treatment and Enhancement Project (CMTEP) is funded by the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment and is aimed at expanding and strengthening treatment of methamphetamine dependence for adults in specialized intensive outpatient tracks for English- and Spanish-speaking participants. Another component of the project focuses on a residential treatment track for women with children
Multnomah County is the most populated county (pop. 660,486) in the State of Oregon, with Portland as the state’s largest city. Hence, the significance of the CMTEP goal of building a permanent infrastructure of linkages among private treatment providers, physical health providers and jurisdictional entities in order to deal effectively with the expanding incidence of methamphetamine within Multnomah County.
Within the scope of the overall CMTEP goals, the role of ChangePoint as a participating agency is to assist in the development of effective treatment materials and expertise as groundwork for facilitating expansion of a successful treatment model to other providers within the county and throughout the state.
