Purpose

Funds efforts to reduce substance use and overdose deaths in prisons and jails and help inmates achieve improved outcomes upon release from incarceration by providing evidence-based treatment and recovery support services for individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) and/or co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders. Assists state, local, and tribal governments in developing and implementing residential SUD treatment programs designed to meet the following objectives:

Improve the ability of state, local, and tribal governments to offer evidence-based SUD or co-occurring substance use and mental health disorder treatment programs in prisons and jails throughout the U.S.
Increase the number of prisons and jails offering Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medications to treat SUD to incarcerated individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD)
Prepare individuals for reintegration into communities, including supporting continuity of care for OUD treatment and recovery supports prior to release
Assist individuals through the reentry process by delivering community-based treatment, recovery, and other broad-based aftercare services to support successful reentry and continuity of care

Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) funds can be used to support the following program areas:

Prison-based residential programs that provide services for a period of 6 to 12 months, require periodic and random drug testing of participants, establish a therapeutic community, and offer aftercare services
Jail-based residential programs that provide services for at least 3 months, require periodic and random drug testing of participants, work to establish a therapeutic community, and offer aftercare services
Aftercare services that include case management and the full continuum of recovery and aftercare supports such as human services, rehabilitation programs, education and job training, parole supervision, recovery or transitional housing, and peer support programs
Jail-based pretrial SUD treatment programs that initiate or continue evidence-based SUD treatment programs, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT), in pretrial populations during their confinement and/or foster connections to SUD treatment in the community upon pretrial release
