Integrating SOAR within the Sequential Intercept Model

SOAR and SIM Integration

The SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery (SOAR) model, funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), increases access to the disability income benefit programs administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA) for eligible adults and children who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness and have a serious mental illness (SMI), medical impairment, and/or a co-occurring substance use disorder.

The Sequential Intercept Model (SIM) details how individuals with behavioral health conditions interact with the legal system. SOAR providers can use the SIM to divert individuals from the legal system and plan successful reentry.
