The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) provides equitable health care to the nation’s highest-need communities. Our programs support people with low incomes, people with HIV, pregnant people, children, parents, rural communities, transplant patients, and the health workforce.
The Rural Substance Use Disorder Impact Program aims to enhance access to integrated and coordinated services for preventing, treating, and reducing harm from substance use disorders (SUD), including opioid use disorder (OUD). The program’s broad goals include improving service delivery by establishing comprehensive SUD treatment and recovery services, developing a responsive SUD workforce involving peers and clinical providers, enhancing coordination with supportive social services for affected rural individuals and families, and ensuring the sustainability of these services through innovative approaches.
