Coordination of substance abuse treatment activities in delaware is easier in comparison to other states because of delaware's unified corrections system, as there are no local jails

The 2025 rsat grant intends to continue funding three important initiatives in delaware's department of correction (DOC) and youth rehabilitative services (YRS) for up to one year, depending on the final allocation. These programs work within the larger context of services for individuals with substance use disorder in DOC and YRS facilities. DOC intends to continue providing a portion of maternal residential secure housing for qualified mothers with SUD that are involved in the department of correction, allowing mothers a supportive environment during their pregnancy and enabling mothers to keep their newborns and young children up to age 10 while serving their sentence. DOC also intends to support an rsat post-release case manager who is responsible for maintaining a caseload for intensive follow-up and coordination with clients to facilitate successful outcomes. YRS intends to continue contracting with an existing community provider to offer an additional certified alcohol and drug counselor or a licensed mental health professional with substance abuse experience to assist in the rsat transition planning for youth in ferris school for boys, a level five detention facility. The delaware criminal justice council, who serves as the applicant and fiscal agent for rsat, uses 90 percent of the rsat grant for DOC and YRS, with the remaining 10 percent used for administration purposes.
