Using the narratives of women who use(d) drugs, this account
challenges popular understandings of Appalachia spread by such
pundits as JD Vance by documenting how women, families, and
communities cope with generational systems of oppression.
Prescription opioids are associated with rising rates of overdose
deaths and hepatitis C and HIV infection in the US, including in
rural Central Appalachia. Yet there is a dearth of studies
examining rural opioid use. RX Appalachia explores the gendered
inequalities that situate women's encounters with substance abuse
treatment as well as additional state interventions targeted at
women who use drugs in one of the most impoverished regions in the
US.
