Module 2: Evidence-Based and Promising Substance Use Disorder Program Models

Rural communities are implementing a variety of evidence-based and promising models to treat substance use disorders. No one treatment program works for every person or community. This section organizes SUD program models into four categories: prevention and early intervention, risk reduction, treatment, and recovery.
