SOR Success Story Highlight: Western Tidewater

This month, Omni would like to highlight a success story submitted through the Quarterly Survey that demonstrates the power of connection and support, and the critical role SOR funding plays in making recovery possible.

Western Tidewater

“We had a new client who had entered the SOR program earlier this quarter after experiencing a near-fatal overdose. With limited family support and no stable housing, he arrived to us feeling hopeless, defeated, and unsure of what the future held. Through the coordinated care provided by our SOR team, the client received immediate access to Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), intensive outpatient counseling, and peer recovery support. His peer specialist, someone with lived experience, played a pivotal role in helping the client feel seen, heard, and understood.”

We are grateful to Western Tidewater for sharing their success story with us, and to all CSBs/agencies for the work you do every day!

Please reach out to us if you have any questions or need support: SORSupport@omni.org. Thank you for your dedication and hard work!
