This webinar introduces the Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP) - Rural Centers of Excellence on Substance Use Disorders, established by the HRSA Federal Office of Rural Health Policy. The Centers are designed to support the identification, translation, dissemination, and implementation of evidence-based interventions to address substance use disorder in rural communities.
Speakers from each of the three RCOEs will describe their individual focus and present how they are addressing the current opioid crisis. Each RCOE will also share how it can assist rural communities in developing practices to prevent, treat, and facilitate long-term recovery from substance use disorders.
