Abstract
About the State Opioid Response Grant The State Opioid Response (SOR) grant is distributed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS). Since 2018, the grant has been distributed to 40 Community Services Boards (CSBs) and other grant partners to address opioid and stimulant use across Virginia. OMNI Institute works with DBHDS as an evaluation partner and created this report to highlight results from the fourth year of the SOR grant (October 2021 through September 2022). As shown in the visual below, DBHDS supports several state and local initiatives across the continuum of care to respond to needs and challenges related to opioid and stimulant use disorders and overdose deaths. This report is organized by the four core areas of the continuum of care which DBHDS is funding: community-based prevention, harm reduction, treatment services, and peer support services.Table of Contents
