Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP)-Impact

The Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP)–Impact is a federal initiative aimed at improving access to integrated and coordinated treatment and recovery services for substance use disorder (SUD), with a particular focus on opioid use disorder (OUD) in rural communities. The program’s goal is to reduce morbidity and mortality related to SUD by supporting the development or expansion of evidence-based prevention, treatment, and recovery services. It emphasizes the importance of coordination across health and social service sectors to facilitate sustained, long-term recovery, along with efforts to build a larger, more responsive workforce capable of meeting the needs of affected populations. Additionally, RCORP-Impact fosters multi-sector community networks to ensure local service delivery is strong and sustainable. While the program targets opioid misuse and its consequences in rural America, it recognizes the broader challenges individuals face with other substances, including alcohol, and thus promotes a comprehensive approach addressing a continuum of substance use disorders alongside mental, behavioral, and related social supports.
