Or. Admin. R. 309-073-0000 – Purpose and Scope

(1) The purposes of 309-073-000 through 309-073-0195 are to build upon and improve the statewide coordinated crisis system and to:
1. (a) Remove barriers to accessing quality behavioral health crisis services.
2. (b) Improve equity in behavioral health treatment and ensure culturally, linguistically, and developmentally appropriate responses to individuals experiencing behavioral health crises, in recognition that, historically, crisis response services place marginalized communities at disproportionate risk of poor outcomes and criminal justice involvement.
3. (c) Ensure anyone in the state of Oregon receives a consistent and effective level of behavioral health crisis services no matter where they live, work, or travel in the state; and
4. (d) Provide increased access to quality community behavioral health services to prevent interactions with the criminal justice system and prevent hospitalizations.
(2) These rules prescribe minimum standards and procedures for Crisis Stabilization Centers applying for certification and certified by the Division to provide crisis stabilization services to individuals for less than 24 consecutive hours.
