The Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority $379,569 on October 1, 2025, under the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment for State Prisoners program (CFDA 16.593) to administer the FY 2025 RSAT program through a competitive notice of funding opportunity supporting residential substance use disorder treatment in Illinois state correctional facilities and local jail systems.

ICJIA will allocate funding to develop and implement structured residential treatment programs operating in dedicated housing units separate from the general correctional population. Funded programs must provide between six and twelve months of residential treatment in state facilities and a minimum of three months in jail-based programs. At least ten percent of the total award will support jail-based residential treatment programs in local correctional and detention facilities, including county sheriff's departments, as required by federal statute.

Applicants must implement treatment programs addressing substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health conditions, including validated screening and assessment tools, individualized treatment planning, cognitive behavioral interventions, relapse prevention strategies, and structured reentry and aftercare coordination. Programs must conduct periodic and random drug testing in accordance with RSAT requirements. Through this competitive process, ICJIA seeks to reduce recidivism, substance use, and institutional misconduct while strengthening correctional treatment capacity statewide and ensuring continuity of care from incarceration to community reentry.

The award period runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2029. Place of performance is Chicago, Illinois. ICJIA is a state administering agency and child entity of the State of Illinois.
