Robeson Health Care Corporation

The goal of the proposed Robeson County RCORP-Psychostimulant project is to reduce the incidence and impact of Psychostimulants in rural communities by improving systems of care, family supports, and addressing social determinants of health, the proactive, Robeson Rural Communities Consortium, proposes to strengthen and develop meaningful, measurable, relevant, and culturally responsive strategies for prevention and treatment/recovery, in an extraordinarily diverse and broad rural service area with a significant history of disparities and marginalized populations, SUD, and co-occurring disorders (COD). Prevention focused goals include developing culturally informed strategies and increasing school- and community-based prevention programs. Treatment focused goals put emphasis on enhanced screening, service coordination and medication-assisted treatment and integrated care. Recovery goals center on discharge coordination through developing linkages to community-based services for individuals leaving treatment and use of peer support services.
