Abstract
Both rural communities and urban communities experience problems associated with drug use and drug dependence. However, existing treatment interventions are not tailored for rural settings. This article describes a project which will modify an existing social skills behavioral therapy for rural populations, refine the therapy, develop a manual, train and supervise therapists, and pilot test the structured behavioral outpatient rural therapy to treat rural drug users and drug dependents as Stage I Research for NIDA's Behavioral Therapies Development Program.
