Title: Rural communities
Description: Roughly 27 percent of the U.S. population lives in rural regions of the country. These citizens face challenges that city-dwellers and surburbanites do not. Geographic isolation, lack of available resources and activities, and a relative absence of anonymity lead many rural residents to turn to alcohol and other drugs. This guide includes a host of resources that we believe will help prevention specialists, teachers, health care providers, and others like you in a mutual quest for drug-free neighborhoods.
