Improve and Advance Substance Abuse Treatment in Prisons

In 2011, BOP will work with BJA and NIC to ensure evidence-based treatment services are provided to Federal prisoners.

BJA and SAMHSA will also provide training and technical assistance to state RSAT programs with the intent of maximizing the use of evidence-based substance abuse treatment and aftercare for inmates in need of such treatment. New training curricula, incorporating the latest evidence-based practices and aftercare research, will be available through a website.
