Sonara Health is a Portfolio Company of Boomerang Ventures

INDIANAPOLIS, IN / ACCESS Newswire / September 23, 2025 / Boomerang Ventures today announced it has made a $1 million strategic investment in Sonara Health, a Dallas-based health technology company transforming opioid treatment programs (OTPs) through its hybrid care platform. The funding is part of Sonara's latest investment round, which included leading impact investors Acumen America, Sorenson Impact Foundation, Oakwood Circle Ventures, Royal Street Ventures, and First Trust Capital Partners.

Sonara Health's innovative solution combines in-person and virtual tools to modernize methadone treatment delivery for people with opioid use disorder (OUD). At the center of its platform is the Virtual Dosing Window™, which enables patients to securely record take-home methadone doses by scanning a QR code on their bottle and creating a video for clinical review. This approach, combined with their validated clinical measures, greatly reduces the need for daily in-person visits while helping providers improve adherence, retention, and patient trust.

"Our investment in Sonara is about scale and impact," said Oscar Moralez, Founder & Managing Partner, Boomerang Ventures. "Sonara's hybrid model does more than digitize workflows, it connects patients, providers, and care teams with clinically meaningful data at the moment of decision. This capital enables Sonara to expand payer engagement, strengthen clinical decision-support around take-home dosing, and grow tech-enabled medication units so more people can access life-saving treatment with fewer barriers. It's a clear example of how we back founders who rethink healthcare delivery in ways that improve patient outcomes and system efficiency."

Early Outcomes Driving Real-World Impact
Since launching in late-2022, Sonara Health has already shown measurable results:

• 4,200+ patients have been supported across more than 50 clinics in 14 states

• Participants average 14 additionaltake-home doses per month

• Each patient avoids approximately 28 extra clinic tripsmonthly

• Payers report an estimated 10.75x ROI, fueled by fewer non-emergency medical transportation needs and patients staying reliably on track with treatment

"Boomerang Ventures has been a committed, hands-on partner," said Michael Giles, MD, Founder & CEO, Sonara Health. "Their investment and strategic guidance help us accelerate the tools and partnerships that make hybrid methadone care sustainable, from reimbursement pathways to decision-support that keeps patients safe and engaged. We're excited to expand access to evidence-based treatment for communities that need it most."

The new funding supports Sonara's continued work to modernize methadone treatment delivery, advance patient-centered care, and expand access through payer engagement, enhanced clinical tools (including take-home dosing and long-term recovery planning), and technology-enabled medication units in high-need areas.
