These data are part of NACJD's Fast Track Release and are distributed as they were received from the data depositor.

The goal of the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) Study is to provide programmatic information about the treatment and aftercare services funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) RSAT program, to help understand the extent to which, and in what ways, RSAT programs are fulfilling their mandate under the Second Chance Act to connect participants to aftercare services. The study focuses on describing the range and types of substance abuse treatment, re-entry/release planning activities, and related aftercare services that are provided to offenders through the BJA RSAT program. The major objectives of the study are to:

Document how states make decisions about how to use RSAT funds for treatment and aftercare services; Describe the types of treatment and other services supported with BJA RSAT funds, including implementation of evidence-based practices; Document the re-entry/release planning activities for RSAT participants; and Describe the aftercare services available to RSAT participants, and the challenges and facilitators to implementing these services.

The study includes two SPSS files: RSAT_State_Coordinator_Program.sav (n=47; 92 variables) and RSAT_Subgrantee_Program.sav (n=60; 1,018 variables).
