vi. Property Values: The presence of these clinics can have a negative impact on property values. vii. Environmental Impact: Improper disposal of medication or waste related to the operation of a clinic may raise environmental concerns, particularly if it poses a risk to local water sources or wildlife. viii. Community Integration: These clinics often face opposition from community members who resist the integration of such facilities in their neighborhoods. This resistance can stem from various factors as stated above and also fears of the unknown, concerns about the clinic's impact on the community's character, or biases against individuals with substance use disorders. c. Based upon these findings, the Council believes that effective regulation, security measures, and collaboration with local law enforcement can help address and prevent potential problems stemming from the operation of these clinics. The following regulations are necessary to address these needs of the community. Section 2.That Section 156.006 Definitions shall be amended, as follows: SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT CLINIC.
