Community SOS

Community SOS offers people hope and support when they need it the most.

Aiding Your Community

ChristianaCare has partnered with New Castle County to create the Community Substance Overdose Support (SOS) Program to help people in our community who are struggling with addiction.

Community SOS offers people hope and support when they need it the most. Community SOS engagement specialists will connect with individuals in their homes or within their communities to discuss how they can help support their recovery.

Engagement specialists offer:

  • Education about addiction
  • Resources in the community that offer addiction counseling
  • Referrals to medication assisted treatment
  • Arrangements for transportation to treatment
  • Training on the proper use of the overdose reversing drug, naloxone (Narcan)
  • No judgement. Our engagement specialists are all in recovery themselves
  • A friendly, understanding ear when you need one
