People are more than their worst day.

That’s why we showed up Saturday at the Fairfax Circuit Court–Sully District Expungement Clinic. A clean record opens doors to employment, housing, and stability and our team was honored to help neighbors take that first step.
Grateful to our partners who made this free clinic possible!

What does recovery look like? It looks like THIS.

🎉 Our Contingency Management program rewards participants for two things: showing up and testing clean. Our first graduate entered the program 6 months clean and completed it 9 months sober. At OAR, we believe that every step forward deserves recognition and this milestone is one we will never forget.

Congratulations to our first CM Program Graduate! 💚✨
