Rural Communities Opioid Response Program - Impact

The purpose of RCORP – Impact is to improve access to integrated, coordinated treatment and recovery services for substance use disorder (SUD), including opioid use disorder (OUD), in rural areas. Ultimately, RCORP-Impact aims to address the SUD/OUD crisis in rural communities and promote long-term, sustained recovery. The Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP) is a multi-year Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) initiative aimed at reducing disease and death related to substance use disorder (SUD), including opioid use disorder (OUD), in high-risk rural communities. The RCORP initiative has supported over 1,900 rural communities across 47 states and 2 territories. In 2021 alone, RCORP provided services to over 2 million individuals. RCORP is administered through HRSA’s Federal Office of Rural Health Policy, which is charged with supporting activities related to improving health care in rural areas. RCORP also supports the President’s National Mental Health Strategy.
