  • Summary

    Persons living in urban and rural areas have similar rates of alcohol use, yet the latter possess far fewer options for treatment of alcohol and other substance use disorders. There is underappreciated diversity across rural communities that compels an understanding of the broad social and economic determinants of their alcohol and other drug use and engagement with treatment. This chapter examines the delivery of treatment for alcohol use disorder in rural healthcare systems with special attention to the primary care setting, the venue most accessible to rural residents. Novel approaches for rural treatment of substance use disorders are identified that match social and cultural trends of substance use while leveraging the limited resources of the rural behavioral healthcare landscape.
