The purposes of ORS 430.338 to 430.380 are: (1) To encourage local units of government to provide treatment and rehabilitation services to persons suffering from alcoholism; (2) To foster sound local planning to address the problem of alcoholism and its social consequences; (3) To promote a variety of treatment and rehabilitation services for alcoholics designed to meet the therapeutic needs of diverse segments of a communitys population, recognizing that no single approach to alcoholism treatment and rehabilitation is suitable to every individual; (4) To increase the independence and ability of individuals recovering from alcoholism to lead satisfying and productive lives, thereby reducing continued reliance upon therapeutic support; (5) To ensure sufficient emphasis upon the unique treatment and rehabilitation needs of minorities; and (6) To stimulate adequate evaluation of alcoholism treatment and rehabilitation programs. Note: 430.338 and 430.342 were enacted into law by the Legislative Assembly but were not added to or made a part of ORS chapter 430 or any series therein by legislative action. See Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.
