Learn more →We build systems, not just recommendations. Every engagement ends with documented, deployable infrastructure, not a report that sits on a shelf. Our work is grounded in direct operational experience, the license applications, the payer negotiations, the census pressure, and that context changes how we work: as operators, not observers.
We hold our own work to the standards we apply to clinical programs. Results are measured and reported, not described in general terms. And we build for the organization's sustained health, not for the engagement itself: the systems we put in place are designed for long-term performance, holding up long after we're out of the room.
A structured path from diagnostic to durable systems.

Oregon Residential Treatment Facility License: RTH, RTF and SRTF
Oregon's adult mental health residential programs are licensed by the Oregon Health Authority under OAR chapter 309, division 35. The division covers three settings, and the one you build decides the license you apply for. This guide walks through the three types, what OHA's application asks for, the staffing and safety rules that changed in 2026, and the order that keeps an opening date intact.
One boundary first. Residential substance use disorder programs are a different license with different standards (OAR chapter 309, division 18), covered in our Oregon residential SUD licensing guide. Outpatient programs work through the Certificate of Approval. The overview of every Oregon license type is in our Oregon treatment facility licensing hub.
