Recovery is a difficult road. For non-English speakers, accessing services and understanding the roots of addiction is a greater challenge. When Latino families move to Oregon, they not only leave behind their relatives and friends but also their community and support networks.
Central City Concern developed the culturally-specific Puentes program to support Latinos in recovery in 2005. Puentes uses a multidisciplinary approach to provide alcohol and drug treatment and mental health care to individuals and to the entire family in a way that mitigates stigma and fear. Puentes staff are bilingual and bicultural; they understand Latino values, family roles and community structures helping Latino clients gain insight into cultural influences on behavior.

These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get reduced or free services from some clinics, they use a sliding fee scale based on your income.When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
