Donor Name: Governor’s Office of Crime Prevention, Youth, and Victim Services
State: Maryland
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 06/09/2023
Size of the Grant: $50,000 – $300,000
Grant Duration: 1 year
Details:
The Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) for State Prisoners Program assists states, local, and tribal governments in the development and implementation of substance abuse treatment programs in state, local, and tribal correctional and detention facilities. Funds are also available to create and maintain community reintegration services for offenders after they are released from incarceration.
The goal of the RSAT Program is to break the cycle of drugs and violence by reducing the demand for, use, and trafficking of illegal drugs. RSAT enhances the capability of states and units of local and tribal government to provide residential substance abuse treatment for incarcerated inmates; prepares offenders for their reintegration into the communities from which they came by incorporating reentry planning activities into treatment programs; and assists offenders and their communities through the reentry process through the delivery of community-based treatment and other broad-based aftercare services. Treatment practices/services should be, to the extent possible, evidence-based.
Prospective applicants are encouraged to implement programs to address the treatment needs of pre- and post-release prisoners identified as having a substance use disorder. The Governor’s Office of Crime Prevention, Youth, and Victim Services encourages programs that involve partnerships, collaboration, and best practices to meet the treatment needs of these individuals.
