The Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded the Ohio Office of Criminal Justice Services $559,783 on October 1, 2025, under the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment for State Prisoners program (CFDA 16.593).

The award funds implementation of the Ohio RSAT program, which supports four program tracks: prison-based residential substance use disorder treatment, jail-based residential SUD treatment, aftercare programs serving participants upon reentry, and jail-based pretrial SUD treatment. These initiatives increase access to treatment for individuals with substance use or co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders during detention or incarceration and improve continuity of care during and after reentry.

The Ohio Office of Criminal Justice Services administers the award through a competitive grant selection process. Eligible applicants are limited to units of local government, state agencies, and local aftercare facilities, with a mandate that at least 10 percent of the total state allocation be awarded to local correctional facilities. The recipient mandates quarterly reporting of performance metrics and works with grantees to establish processes for collecting, aggregating, and reporting required data.

The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2029. Place of performance is Columbus, Ohio. The assistance type is a formula grant.
