The Department of State Police Michigan, doing business as Michigan State Police (MSP), has been awarded a $1,153,023 Formula Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance under the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) for State Prisoners Program (CFDA 16.593). The grant will support MSP's implementation of the RSAT program through partnerships with subrecipients to break the cycle of addiction and crime among the prison population, reduce recidivism rates, and produce cost savings for Michigan's criminal justice system. The RSAT subrecipients will provide intensive programming targeting substance abuse, case management, and reentry needs of felony jail populations. Key activities include conducting drug testing, maintaining partnerships with service providers, and offering community-based aftercare services. The program aims to achieve consistently negative drug test results, reduced recidivism rates, and observable cost savings for subrecipients. This 4-year grant is effective from October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2027.

The michigan state police will implement the residential substance abuse treatment (RSAT) program through partnerships with subrecipients to break the cycle of addiction and crime among the prison population, reduce economic and societal burdens of criminal recidivism rates, and produce cost-saving benefits in the michigan criminal justice systems. The RSAT subrecipients will provide an intensive programming environment designed to target the substance abuse, case management, and RE-entry needs of the felony jail populations. Subrecipients will comply with RSAT program requirements by conducting random and periodic drug tests of program participants, maintaining multidisciplinary partnerships with state and local service providers, and providing community-based aftercase services for participants. Treatment provided through each RSAT program draws on a multitude of evidence-based practices that address substance use disorders and criminogenic factors. Anticipated outcomes from the RSAT programs include consistently negative drug test results among participants, a reduction in recidivsm rates among participants, and observable cost savings for subrecipients.
