Residential Substance Abuse Treatment

The Residential Substance Abuse Treatment program provides grants to states to develop, implement, and provide residential substance abuse treatment programs within their correctional systems.

Rating

What This Rating Means

NOT PERFORMING
Results Not Demonstrated

A rating of Results Not Demonstrated (RND) indicates that a program has not been able to develop acceptable performance goals or collect data to determine whether it is performing.
  • Assessing the program's impact on substance abuse behavior has been hindered by the failure of many grantees to provide consistent, reliable data.
  • The ability to link funding and performance has been complicated by variance in treatment costs among grantees.
  • There have been few independent evaluations of either state grantees or the overall program--as a result, the program's impact is unknown.

Improvement Plan

About Improvement Plans

We are taking the following actions to improve the performance of the program:

  • Improving the automation of performance data collection and handling to better track how the program is performing.
  • Making performance data available to the public via the internet and publications.
  • Developing long-term goals for reducing drug abuse relapses among participants in residential substance abuse treatment programs operated by grantees.
