Description
The Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP)-Planning supports organizations in rural communities to build partnerships and foundational capacity to develop, implement, and sustain a comprehensive system of substance use disorder (SUD) and related services. The program focuses on opioid misuse and its impact on rural America, addressing the need for a continuum of mental, behavioral, and social supports. It is intended for rural communities that face barriers to accessing larger federal grant programs and funds planning activities only, not direct service delivery. The program aims to reduce substance use initiation and misuse, address mental and behavioral needs, and reduce disease and death related to substance use problems in high-risk rural communities.
