About
The Oregon Psilocybin Services Section (OPS), housed within the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), is the regulatory body established by Measure 109 to license and oversee Oregon's psilocybin service system. Since the program opened for client services in 2023, OPS has licensed facilitators, service centers, manufacturers, and testing laboratories — creating the operational infrastructure of the world's first regulated psilocybin service system.
OPS is responsible for rulemaking (the Administrative Rules governing every aspect of the program), licensing enforcement, complaint investigation, and public reporting on program data. The division also manages the application processes for the four license categories: service center operator, facilitator, manufacturer, and laboratory.
As of 2026, OPS has licensed over 100 service centers and over 300 facilitators across Oregon, with the majority of activity concentrated in the Portland metro area and Southern Oregon. The division publishes quarterly data reports on service center operations — the only public dataset on a regulated psilocybin therapy program in the world.
Why It Matters
OPS is the government body that made the Oregon psilocybin model actually functional. Every other state considering regulated psilocybin access is studying OPS's regulatory architecture, licensing processes, and early operational data as a template.
