The Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded the Florida Department of Law Enforcement $998,687 on October 1, 2025, to deliver Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) services under CFDA 16.593.

FDLE will allocate funds through subawards to the Florida Department of Corrections and local detention facilities to expand opioid substance abuse treatment services and deliver residential substance abuse treatment programs, aftercare, and reintegration services for eligible participants in state prisons, local jails, and community-based residential treatment facilities across adult and juvenile populations. No less than 10 percent of total funding must support jail-based RSAT programs operated by local county correction departments. FDLE will coordinate activities with each subrecipient to identify program-specific goals and objectives aligned with reducing demand for and use of illegal substances and breaking cycles of addiction.

Performance runs through September 30, 2029, with administrative oversight at the FDLE facility in Tallahassee, Florida. The program aims to improve substance use treatment during and after incarceration to reduce recidivism by increasing access to evidence-based treatment and supporting community reintegration.

The florida department of law enforcement (fdle) proposes to allocate funds for rsat services for prisoners in state and local correctional and detention facilities as well as community-based residential treatment facilities. Funding will be allocated through subawards to address the impact of substance abuse on the state's population and aid in florida's ability to break the cycle of drugs and violence by reducing the demand for and use of illegal substances through addiction treatment. As fdle does not have direct administration over substance abuse treatment programs in the state, all efforts to achieve the goals will be coordinated with the florida department of corrections and local detention facilities who receive subawards under this program. Fdle will require each subrecipient to identify the goals and objectives specific to their unique rsat program. Subaward activities may include utilizing rsat funding for the expansion of opioid substance abuse treatment services for eligible participants in prisons, jails, and community-based residential treatment facilities. Funding may also be used for programs such as residential substance abuse treatment programs, aftercare and reintegration services in adult and juvenile populations. Fdle will allocate no less than 10 percent of its total funding amount for local county correction departments, provided they exist, to fund the jail-based rsat program for offenders incarcerated in local facilities.
