The Washington County DA’s Office partners with public safety agencies and community-based treatment and recovery providers to implement the Oregon Drug Intervention Plan (ODIP), pursuant to HB 4002 and 5204 (2024).

The ODIP provides a comprehensive framework to prioritize treatment and accountability by addressing individual and community harm caused by drug use.  It offers four pathways for persons facing certain misdemeanor drug possession charges to engage in treatment: (1) optional county deflection, (2) conditional discharge supervision, (3) formal probation supervision, and (4) probation revocation with early release to treatment opportunity.

Washington County’s Deflection Program is a pre-court diversion program that allows eligible defendants facing misdemeanor drug possession charges to avoid prosecution if they successfully engage in treatment.  For more information about this program, click here.

Washington County’s Conditional Discharge program is a court diversion program that allows eligible defendants facing misdemeanor drug possession charges to have their criminal case dismissed and record expunged if they successfully engage in treatment while on court supervision.
