俄勒冈州格雷舍姆新阿片类药物治疗中心10月27日开业：州长Kotek出席，全州住院治疗床位将增加1722张
俄勒冈州格雷舍姆市的 New Season 治疗中心10月27日举行剪彩开业，为摩特诺玛县及周边地区的阿片类药物成瘾者提供治疗服务，俄勒冈州州长 Tina Kotek 与格雷舍姆市长 Travis Stovall 出席。州政府为该中心的扩建提供了资金支持；这也是俄勒冈州行为健康系统扩容的一部分，全州预计新增1,722张持牌住院治疗床位，其中769张为物质使用障碍治疗床位。
Kotek 说：「我们希望人们在需要的地方就能获得医疗与支持。这个项目将改变人生：我们把服务送到州内更多地方，所有人都会受益。」她同时指出，光有敞开的大门不够，还需要受过训练的人员在这样的诊所工作。格雷舍姆地处摩特诺玛县东部，是波特兰都会区的重要城市，新中心将为当地居民就近提供药物辅助治疗等服务。
州长办公室公布的扩容进度显示，1,722张新床位中已有1,052张开放服务，另有670张将在未来两年半内开放，相当于全州住院治疗容量增加逾61%。州政府表示，2022年之前俄勒冈州主要依赖有限的专项投资或外部私人资金扩充行为健康容量，现与州议会合作系统性投入。与扩容同步，州政府正应对行为健康人力短缺：由第一夫人 Aimee Kotek 领导的州长行为健康人才委员会已走访一线服务机构、听取有亲身经历者与全州领袖意见，形成的综合报告正指导州政府的下一步行动。
Oregon: New Opioid Treatment Center Opens in Gresham on October 27 as State Adds 1,722 Residential Treatment Beds
A new opioid treatment program, the New Season Treatment Center in Gresham, in Multnomah County, Oregon, held its grand opening on October 27, with Oregon Governor Tina Kotek and Gresham Mayor Travis Stovall attending the ribbon-cutting. The state helped fund New Season's expansion into Gresham. The opening is part of a broader expansion of Oregon's behavioral health system: the state anticipates adding 1,722 licensed residential treatment beds, including 769 substance use disorder treatment beds.
'We want people to have health care and support where they need it,' Kotek said. 'This program will change lives - the more we get services to all parts of the state, the better off we are.' She added that an open door is not enough on its own and that trained people are needed to work in clinics like this one. Gresham, in eastern Multnomah County, is a major city in the Portland metropolitan area, and the new center will provide medication-assisted treatment and related services close to home for area residents.
According to the governor's office, of the 1,722 beds being added statewide, 1,052 are already open and serving Oregonians, with 670 additional beds scheduled to open in the next two and a half years, a more than 61% increase in capacity. Prior to 2022, Oregon relied largely on limited, project-specific investments or external private-sector funding to expand behavioral health capacity; under Kotek, the state and the Legislature have funded increased capacity at a statewide scale. Alongside the expansion, the state is addressing the behavioral health workforce shortage: the Governor's Behavioral Health Talent Council, led by First Lady Aimee Kotek, met with frontline providers, people with lived experience and leaders across the state and produced a comprehensive report now guiding the state's next steps.
