Funding Source Description

The Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) Program is a formula grant program that enhances the capabilities of state and local governments to provide substance use disorder (SUD) treatment services for justice-involved individuals. The program supports evidence-based treatment, recovery, and reentry services designed to address substance use disorders, prepare participants for successful community reintegration, and provide continuity of care through community-based treatment and recovery support services.

Funding under this solicitation may support pretrial SUD treatment, prison-based residential SUD treatment, jail-based residential SUD treatment, and stand-alone aftercare services. Programs are encouraged to incorporate evidence-based and evidence-informed practices, including medication-assisted treatment, when appropriate, and to address the needs of individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders.

The RSAT Program was established by the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-322) and is intended to reduce substance use and recidivism by increasing access to treatment, strengthening recovery supports, and improving long-term outcomes for justice-involved individuals.
