    FFY 2025 Residential Substance Abuse Treatment for State Prisoners Program
    (South Carolina State Library, 2024-08-30) South Carolina Office of Highway Safety and Justice Programs; South Carolina Department of Public Safety
    The South Carolina Department of Public Safety, Office of Highway Safety and Justice Programs, has been designated to administer the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment for State Prisoners (RSAT) program as authorized by statute 34 U.S.C. § 10422. The purpose of the RSAT Program is to increase access to treatment for individuals with substance use or co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders during detention or incarceration and to improve continuity of care during and after reentry by delivering community-based treatment and other broad-based aftercare services. The RSAT Program assists states with developing and implementing residential substance use disorder (SUD) treatment programs within state prisons, as well as within local correctional and detention facilities, in which persons are incarcerated for a period of time sufficient to permit SUD treatment. RSAT Program funds must be used to support the provision of SUD treatment to individuals during detention or incarceration in a state or local facility. Funds may also be used for recovery support and aftercare services for program participants post release. Treatment for co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders may also be provided using RSAT funds. BJA also encourages the provision of the three FDA-approved medications to treat substance use disorder along with counseling and behavioral therapies (sometimes referred to as medication-assisted treatment or MAT) as part of any evidence-based substance use or co-occurring mental health and substance use disorder treatment program for individuals with a substance use disorder, including alcohol and opioid use disorder, that are incarcerated or detained in the nation’s prisons or jails.
