For phase 2, the Indiana Rural Opioid Consortium (InROC), through its extensive partnership base with the Indiana Rural Health Association (IRHA), collaborated with key stakeholders among 14 geographically and culturally disparate populations throughout the state of Indiana whose core purpose was to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with SUD/OUD through prevention, treatment, and recovery.

Mission:
The mission is to promote and increase access to treatment for patients with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), and Hepatitis C (HCV or Hep C) in rural Indiana through evidence-based practices for increased community outreach workforce capacity and recovery support.

Phase 2 Goals:
The InROC seeks to serve all rural citizens throughout the chosen target service area with particular emphasis on culturally competent delivery mechanisms to serve the most vulnerable to developing Substance Use Disorders (SUD), including Opioid Use Disorder (OUD).
InROC partners have formulated four goals with the intent of addressing all core activities as defined by the Rural Community Opioid Response Program (RCORP) in regards to prevention, treatment, and recovery services for individuals suffering from SUD/OUD:
Goal 1: Reduce the occurrence and associated risk of OUD among new and at-risk users, including fatal opioid-related overdoses, and increased infectious disease detection.
Goal 2: Expand access to evidence-based practices, especially Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) with psychosocial intervention, for all rural Indiana citizens.
Goal 3: Expand access to recovery and treatment options for individuals battling OUD.
Goal 4: Development of financial and programmatic sustainability across the consortium after RCORP funding.
The InROC partners are committed to work tirelessly to alleviate the burden of addiction, mental illness, and other associated health disparities among rural Hoosiers and sustain that success well past the period of performance.
