Grantee Onboarding Packet for Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP)-Psychostimulant Support Grantees

Overdose deaths involving psychostimulants are increasing across rural America. Psychostimulants (also called stimulants or uppers) are substances that excite the central nervous system. The brain chemicals dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine become more active, resulting in increased feelings of reward; higher blood pressure, heart rate, and blood glucose levels; and faster breathing. Some psychostimulants are legal to use for mild effects, for example, the caffeine in coffee and the nicotine in tobacco products.
