Description
This program funds rural communities to drive measurable improvements in access to integrated, coordinated treatment and recovery services for substance use disorder (SUD), including opioid use disorder (OUD). The long-term aim is to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with SUD and enable sustained recovery and well-being in rural America. The grant supports new or expanded evidence-based SUD prevention, treatment, and recovery services, coordination across health and supportive social services, development of a responsive workforce, and multi-sector community networks to strengthen and sustain local service delivery. While the focus is on reducing the impact of opioid misuse, the program also supports comprehensive approaches to address all SUDs, including alcohol use disorder, within a continuum of mental, behavioral, and related social supports.
