Abstract: In 2020, 2.8 million people required substance use disorder (SUD) treatment in nonmetropolitan or ‘rural’ areas in the U.S. Among this population, only 10% received SUD treatment from a specialty facility, and 1 in 500 received medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD). We explored the context surrounding barriers to SUD treatment in the rural United States.
