Description
The Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) Program, administered by the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC), provides funding to support the development and implementation of substance use disorder treatment programs in state and local correctional and detention facilities across Georgia. The program emphasizes evidence-based practices, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and requires a strong focus on reentry planning and aftercare to facilitate successful reintegration of formerly incarcerated individuals. Priority is given to rural programs and those offering MAT, with a strong emphasis on data-driven, evidence-based approaches and ongoing performance measurement.
