Additional Information

Program Recommendations When designing your project, consider:

• The extent to which rural populations, racial and ethnic minorities, people who are uninsured, people experiencing homelessness, and other underserved groups experience higher rates of mental health conditions and SUDs and unique barriers to accessing treatment.

• The impact of stigma and discrimination on patients seeking and accessing treatment.

• Creating a comprehensive approach to behavioral health services that helps more patients access treatment and recovery and support services that address their underlying needs.

• Increasing your primary care providers' role in use of FDA-approved medications for treatment of opioid use disorder, such as buprenorphine.

• Social risk factors like food insecurity, unstable housing, lack of or limited health insurance, linguistic barriers, financial strain, broadband issues, and limited access to transportation.

• The existing treatment and recovery and support services in your service area, including Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) and opioid treatment programs (OTPs), and how your proposed project will coordinate with or complement those services.

If you use broadband or telecommunications services to provide health care, discounts are available through the Federal Communication Commission's Universal Service Program. For more information, see the Rural Health Care Program. The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) and Lifeline are federal programs that help eligible households pay for internet services and internet connected devices. Patients living on tribal lands may be eligible for additional benefits through ACP.
