The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded the Michigan State Police $413,644 on October 1, 2025, under the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment for State Prisoners program (CFDA 16.593), a formula grant supporting evidence-based residential substance abuse treatment during incarceration and community-based aftercare for felony jail populations.

The Michigan State Police will implement the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) program through partnerships with subrecipients to provide intensive programming targeting substance abuse, case management, and reentry needs of incarcerated individuals. Subrecipients will conduct random and periodic drug testing of participants, maintain multidisciplinary partnerships with state and local service providers, and deliver community-based aftercare services. Treatment draws on evidence-based practices addressing substance use disorders and criminogenic factors. Expected outcomes include consistently negative drug test results, reduced recidivism among participants, and observable cost savings for subrecipients.

The award covers the period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2029, with performance at Lansing, Michigan. The program aims to break cycles of addiction and crime, reduce recidivism rates, and produce cost-saving benefits across Michigan's criminal justice system.

The michigan state police will implement the 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 reentry 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 aftercare services for participants. Treatment provided through each rsat program draws on 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 recidivism rates among participants, and observable cost savings for subrecipients.
