The Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP)–Impact 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). Its long-term aim is to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with SUD and enable sustained recovery and well-being. The program supports: New or expanded evidence-based SUD prevention, treatment, and recovery services in rural areas; Coordination across health and supportive social services to enable sustained, long-term recovery; A larger, more responsive workforce to address SUD-related needs; and Multi-sector community networks to strengthen and sustain local service delivery. The focus of RCORP-Impact is on reducing the impact of opioid misuse on rural America. However, HRSA recognizes that people who misuse opioids often struggle with other substances as well, including alcohol. Therefore, RCORP-Impact supports a comprehensive approach to address all SUD, including OUD, within a continuum of mental, behavioral, and related social supports.
