Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 12, December 1, 2024
(1) These rules prescribe standards by which the Behavioral Health Division (Division) of the Oregon Health Authority (Authority) licenses community based residential treatment facilities and community based residential treatment homes for adults with mental health disorders. The standards promote optimum health, mental and social well-being, and recovery for adults with mental health disorders through the availability of a wide range of home and community based residential settings and services. They prescribe how services will be provided in safe, secure, and homelike environments that recognize the dignity, individuality, and right to self-determination of each individual.
(2) These rules apply to all Residential Treatment Homes (RTH) and Residential Treatment Facilities (RTF) providing services to adults with mental health disorders regardless of whether the program receives public funds. These rules prescribe distinct standards in some areas for Secure Residential Treatment Facilities (SRTF) or are based on the number of individuals receiving services in the program.
(3) These rules recognize that some residents may have their rights limited through civil or forensic commitment processes as described in ORS chapters 161 and 426, guardianship proceedings as described in ORS chapter 125, or other legal mechanisms as described in ORS chapter 127.
