OSAR – Outreach, Screening, Assessment and Referral

Connecting individuals to the right level of substance use care

The Outreach, Screening, Assessment, and Referral (OSAR) program connects individuals in need of substance use treatment to the appropriate level of care. OSAR staff serve as a gateway to the substance use treatment system, working to match people with the services that best meet their needs.

What OSAR Does

  • Screening Brief screening to identify individuals who may have a substance use disorder and need further assessment.
  • Assessment Comprehensive evaluation to determine the appropriate level and type of care needed.
  • Referral Connection to appropriate treatment services within TTBH or other community providers based on the individual's needs and preferences.
