The purpose of RCORP-RCOE is to support the identification, translation, dissemination, and implementation of evidence-based programs and best practices “related to the treatment for and prevention of substance use disorders within rural communities, with a focus on the current opioid crisis and developing methods to address future substance use disorder epidemics.”  The Centers will engage in research to identify “science-based prevention, treatment, and other risk reduction interventions, including community-based approaches that may be replicable in other rural communities and associated professional training.”  After identifying rural-relevant interventions, the Centers will serve as a resource for “scientific and technical assistance to county and state health departments and other entities as identified seeking guidance on how to address the substance use disorder challenges in their community.”  Other such entities in rural communities may include, but are not limited to, state offices of rural health (SORHs), critical access hospitals (CAHs), rural health clinics (RHCs), and other rural health care providers.
