The Rural Substance Abuse Partnership (RSAP),
formed with a U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice
Programs BJA Congressionally Mandated Award in 2004, was
designed to improve understanding about rural patterns of drug
abuse.
RSAP partners include the Margaret Chase
Smith Policy Center, Washington County (Maine) Drug Action
Team, and nineteen rural states across the country plus the
District of Columbia.
This website acts as an information
clearinghouse for federal and RSAP state resources around
substance use & abuse in general, and focuses on Maine in
particular. Substance use related data includes: state
demographics, use & abuse, youth, treatment, trafficking
& arrests, and injury & death.
