HRSA

The Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP) Implementation-III is a three year initiative by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) aimed at reducing the morbidity and mortality of substance use disorder (SUD), including opioid use disorder (OUD), in high risk rural communities. This funding opportunity will advance RCORP’s overall goal by strengthening and expanding SUD/OUD prevention, treatment, and recovery services to enhance rural residents’ ability to access treatment and move towards recovery. Over the course of the three-year period of performance, WestCare Tennessee will complete detailed plans for sustaining their consortia and SUD/OUD services beyond the RCORP-Implementation period of performance.

WestCare Tennessee will implement a set of core SUD/OUD prevention, treatment, and recovery activities, as outlined in Program-Specific Instructions.

These activities incorporate evidence-based, promising, and innovative approaches proven to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with opioid use disorder including overdose, such as naloxone distribution and other harm reduction services, and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT).

Given the complex and multifaceted nature of SUD/OUD, as well as the need to secure community buy-in and generate adequate patient volume to sustain services, WestCare Tennessee will develop a multi-sectoral consortia. For the purposes of RCORP-Implementation, a consortium is an organizational arrangement among four or more separately owned domestic public or private entities, including the applicant organization, with established working relationships.
