Opioid Use Disorder in Rural Montana: From Insight to Education
Opioid Misuse in Rural Montana
Montana has significant challenges in reducing the effects of opioid use and misuse.
In 2011, 1in 5 Montana adults reported taking an opioid pain medication in the last
12 months. A higher prevalence of prescription opioid use was reported by American
Indians than by whites and by persons reporting fair or poor health than by those
reporting good or excellent health. (MT DPHHS, 2013). Opioid use is affecting the
young and old.
