The rsat grant program is critical for the west virginia division of corrections and rehabilitation

The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded Go33 Justice & Community Services $120,307 under the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment for State Prisoners formula grant program (CFDA 16.593) on October 1, 2025, for a period of performance through September 30, 2029.

Go33, the Justice and Community Services Division of the West Virginia Division of Administrative Services and the designated State Administrative Agency for criminal justice programs in West Virginia, receives the award as fiscal agent. The funding supports residential substance use disorder treatment for incarcerated individuals in West Virginia's correctional system, including staff training, classes, therapy, and support groups designed to prepare individuals for reentry and manage addiction cravings. The program targets evidence-based practices intended to reduce recidivism and substance abuse within the correctional system.

Place of performance is Charleston, West Virginia.

The funding supports training for treatment staff and provides essential programs, including classes, therapy, and support groups to incarcerated individuals with substance use disorder to prepare them for reentry and manage addiction cravings. Continued rsat funding is necessary for the west virginia division of corrections and rehabilitation to maintain and expand these high-quality evidence-based practices, which are expected to reduce recidivism and substance abuse within the correctional system. Loss of funding would likely lead to an increase in offenders returning to jail and a rise in substance use disorders across the state.
