CODA’s Sobering program responds to local needs—prioritizing safety, care, and support for vulnerable populations.
Sobering programs:
- Avoid unnecessary interaction with more costly systems, preventing needless health and public safety expenses
- Increase the capacity for law enforcement and medical systems to handle more appropriate issues
- Reduce jail and emergency department crowding
The Sobering Center operates in partnership with local law enforcement, emergency services, and health providers; these agencies become approved referral partners, then may refer individuals to the program. Once engaged, participants may remain for less than 24 hours.
