Most people who ask about opening a methadone clinic in Oregon are surprised by the same thing: how many separate regulatory bodies have to say yes before a single patient can be admitted.

It evaporates
Most behavioral health audits do not arrive with sirens. They arrive as an email — "Please provide complete documentation for the following 15 sessions" — with a 10-business-day response window and a polite signature block.
