Oregon State Hospital Goals
Oregon State Hospital Programs
Forensic Psychiatric Services (FPS) FPS consists of 334 budgeted hospital-level beds on 10 units, and 100 budgeted residential-level beds on three units. Based on court orders, under Oregon Revised Statutes, FPS conducts psychological and psychiatric evaluations, including determination of an individual's ability to aid and assist their attorney in a trial and determination if a mental disease or defect limits a person's criminal responsibility. These evaluations are done on either an outpatient or inpatient basis, depending on individual needs. FPS provides care and treatment to adults found to be guilty except for insanity and sentenced to supervision by the Psychiatric Security Review Board. FPS also provides treatment to restore fitness to proceed in a trial to persons who were determined not competent to aid an assist their attorney.
Psychiatric Recovery Services (PRS) PRS consists of 247 budgeted hospital-level beds on nine units, located on both a Salem campus and a Portland campus. Five units serve adult patients who have been civilly committed to the hospital due to serious and persistent mental illness, one unit serves as a medical unit serving patients from all areas of the hospital who have a physical illness or other medical need, one unit serves patients who have suffered brain damage, and two units serve general geriatric patients.

Oregon State Hospital opened in 1883 at its present location in Salem and has played a key role in the development of public mental health services for the state.
For the first 75 years, the number of patients continued to increase despite the establishment of other state facilities. The patient population peaked in 1958, with 3,545 patients. The following years saw a dramatic decline in numbers as part of the deinstitutionalization movement across the country.
Columbia Park Hospital, The Dalles, opened in 1959 and Dammasch State Hospital, in Wilsonville, opened in 1961. By 1979, Oregon State Hospital had fewer than 1,000 patients, and reached a low of 525 in 1977. The current budgeted capacity is 704 beds.
