Detox Center Approved Next to Portland Elementary School
(Portland, OR) -- Plans to open a new detox facility beside Gilbert Heights Elementary have been cleared under a new state law allowing treatment centers in residential areas without special permits. Rose City Detox will operate the site and says it will not accept sex offenders, violent offenders, or walk-ins, stressing safety is its top priority. Some neighbors have voiced concerns about the center's location, but city officials say the project complies with House Bill 2005. Residents who submitted comments will be notified of the decision.
