Portland Harm Reduction Therapy

Welcome to Portland Harm Reduction Therapy (PDX HRT)

We offer an effective alternative approach to drug and alcohol treatment based on the belief that problematic substance use develops from biological, psychological and sociocultural factors.

Harm Reduction Therapy (HRT) is a nonjudgmental, compassionate and client-centered approach to help reduce the negative impact of addictive behaviors in peoples’ lives.

Abstinence may or may not be a goal of treatment because in harm reduction therapy, individuals discover and work toward their own appropriate and realistic goals, driven by a process of increasing awareness of behaviors and motivations.

We understand that change is a process, and that the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for change.

Referrals are made for medical evaluation, complementary therapies, detoxification and inpatient care when needed.

Everyone is welcome, regardless of the status of their drug use.
