Bay Rivers Telehealth Alliance (BRTA) has been awarded federal grant funds of $1,000,000 over 3 years to strengthen and expand substance use disorder (SUD), including opioid use disorder (OUD) prevention, treatment, and recovery services in underserved rural areas. The goals for the grant build on the Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP), a multi-year federal initiative to address barriers to access in services in rural communities. BRTA took the first step in 2018-2019 through a RCORP planning grant to identify community barriers and develop strategies to address related SUD/OUD community needs. Funds from the newly awarded Rural Communities Opioid Response Program Implementation (RCORP-I) grant will carry out strategies identified in the earlier strategic plan through 2023.
