Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Program (RSAT)
The Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Program (RSAT) funds assist state and local governments to develop and implement substance abuse treatment programs in state and local correctional and detention facilities. The funds may be used to support treatment services in state and local correctional and detention facilities. The funds may be used to support treatment services in addition to the services the prison or jail is already required to provide.
All projects must have an organization or subgrantee that will serve as the fiduciary agent and assume overall responsibility for the grant. Eligible subgrantees include:
A unit of local government or council of governments. A unit of local government has the legislative autonomy, jurisdiction, and authority to act in certain circumstances. Units of local government include a city, county, township, or village. If two or more jointly apply, they must designate one body to take the lead role and identify that agency's fiscal officer; or
State agencies, state-supported universities.
A minimum of 10% of Ohio's RSAT allocation must be available for local correctional and detention facilities.
