Module 2: Evidence-Based and Promising Substance Use Disorder Program Models

Rural communities are implementing a variety of evidence-based and promising models to treat substance use disorders. No one treatment program works for every person or community. In this section, we organize models into four categories: prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery.
