Description
This funding opportunity aims to address the opioid crisis and broader substance use disorder (SUD) challenges in rural communities across the United States. The program supports new or expanded evidence-based SUD prevention, treatment, and recovery services, fosters coordination across health and social services, strengthens the local SUD workforce, and builds multi-sector community networks. While the primary focus is on opioid misuse, the program supports a comprehensive approach to all SUDs within a continuum of mental, behavioral, and related social supports, with the long-term goal of reducing morbidity and mortality and enabling sustained recovery in rural America.
