Residential Substance Abuse Treatment for State Prisoners Program (RSAT)
The purpose of the RSAT program is to assist in the development and implementation of residential substance abuse treatment programs within State and local correctional and detention facilities in which prisoners are incarcerated for a period of time sufficient to permit substance abuse treatment. RSAT grant funds may be used to implement three types of programs. (residential substance abuse, jail-based treatment, and/or aftercare programs) The following requirements must be met to receive RSAT fundings:
Residential Substance Abuse Treatment
- Programs must last between 6 and 12 months. Each offender must participate in the program for not less than 6 nor more than 12 months, unless he or she drops out or is terminated.
- Residential treatment must be provided in facilities set apart from the general correctional population.
- Treatment focus must be on the substance abuse problems of the inmate. Programs must develop the inmate´s cognitive, behavioral, social, vocational, and other skills to solve the substance abuse and related problems.
- Participation in the residential program should be limited to inmates who have 6 to 12 months left in their term of confinement so that they can be released from prison after completing the treatment program, rather than returning to the general prison population.
- Implement, or continue to require urinalysis and/or other proven reliable forms of drug and alcohol testing for those enrolled in the residential substance abuse treatment program and post program while they remain in the custody of the state or local government.
Jail-Based Treatment Programs
- Last at least three months. Each offender must participate in the program for not less than three or more than 12 months, unless he or she drops out or is terminated.
- Make every effort to set apart the treatment population from the general correctional population.
- Focus on the substance abuse problems of the inmate.
- Develop the inmate’s cognitive, behavioral, social, vocational, and other skills to solve the substance abuse and related problems.
- Be science-based and effective.
Both jail-based and residential treatment programs receiving funding must be licensed by the Office of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OMHAS) or hold a current non-provisional Letter of Approval (LOA) for residential treatment programs from OMHAS.
Aftercare Programs
Aftercare services must involve coordination between the correctional treatment program and other social service and rehabilitation programs, such as education and job training, parole supervision, halfway houses, or self-help and peer group programs that may aid in rehabilitation.
To qualify as an aftercare program, corrections treatment programs and state and/or local substance abuse treatment programs are required to work together to place program participants in appropriate community substance abuse treatment when these individuals leave the correctional facility at the end of their sentence or time on parole. Both agencies should work together in developing an individualized plan for community substance abuse treatment for each offender. This plan should begin when an offender enters the residential or jail-based treatment program.
No more than 10 percent of the total award may be used for treatment of parolees or probationers in aftercare programs for a period not to exceed one year after release.
