Purpose
Funds efforts to make prisons and jails drug-free and help inmates achieve improved outcomes upon release from incarceration by providing specialized treatment for substance use disorder (SUD), co-occurring mental health disorders (COD), and related issues. Assists state, local, and tribal governments to develop the skills and capabilities needed to fulfill the following objectives:
- Improve the ability of states and units of local or tribal government to offer residential substance use treatment services to incarcerated individuals
- Help offenders plan for reintegration into society
- Provide community-based treatment and other broad-based care services to assist individuals and communities with the reentry process
RSAT funds can be used to support the following program areas:
- Residential programs that provide services to inmates for a period of 6 to 12 months
- Jail-based programs that provide services to inmates for at least 3 months.
Program requirements include:
- Appropriate SUD/COD treatment in a residential treatment facility separated from the main correctional community
- Required urinalysis and/or other proven reliable forms of drug and alcohol testing for those enrolled in the program at periodic and random testing intervals, and for former program participants while they remain in the custody of the state or local government
- Aftercare services that include collaboration among treatment, social service, and rehabilitation programs. These services should offer education and career training, parole supervision, and peer support.
