The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) is accepting applications for the State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2026 Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) Grant Program. The awards will be for continuation grants. The goal of this funding initiative is to provide applicants with an opportunity to execute programs designed to provide evidence-based residential substance use disorder (SUD) treatment programs, which may include Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) services, within juvenile detention centers, local and regional jails, or prisons. The funding may also be used for aftercare SUD treatment programs that serve individuals who are transitioning from a SUD treatment program in a jail or detention center. Aftercare services may include a full continuum of recovery services, human service and rehabilitation programs such as educational and job training, and peer group programs.
The applicant programs must already have a RSAT grant and include collaboration with an aftercare program that focuses on the reentry and SUD treatment needs of the justice-involved population with a goal of creating a continuity of care from incarceration to community. These programs will be required to work in collaboration with a behavioral health entity for continued services upon reentry to include lifestyle changes, behavioral health interventions, and SUD treatments. DCJS will require all RSAT subgrantees to focus on partnerships and innovative collaborations with community stakeholders to ensure that care is provided in a wraparound fashion.
