Mental health and addictions services in resort communities: the case of Martha's Vineyard.
Resort communities face many behavioral health problems and challenges in service delivery. However, few discussions of these issues are present in the literature. Unique needs of rural and resort areas are described using Martha's Vineyard, MA, as a case example. Community strengths and barriers to care are reviewed, and approaches to providing better services offer opportunities for improved care giving.
