State Opioid Response (SOR) Program

Transportation is now available to help you get to the recovery services you need. 

Through a partnership between the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the West Virginia Public Transportation Association, transportation is now available throughout the state.


Transportation is specifically for those individuals with an Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) who are seeking treatment and recovery services related to OUD including evidence-based Medication Assisted Treatment.

The four major dimensions that support a life in recovery are Health, Home, Purpose, and Community. We are dedicated to providing transportation to individuals needing rides in these four areas below. A brief description of the area and some qualifying rides are listed. As the list is not all-inclusive, please reach out to our Mobility Coordinator at (304)-296-3680 to ensure your requested trip qualifies.
