The Promising Practices Guidelines (PPGs) were first published in November 2017 based upon research in the field of substance use disorder treatment and correctional programming. In 2019, the Bureau of Justice Assistance launched a national program to assess Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) program adherence to these guidelines. These Fidelity Assessments are currently underway to determine the strengths as well as the training and technical assistance needs of RSAT programs and grantees.
The PPGs for RSAT was meant to be a dynamic document that would be revised as more outcomes and feedback from jails, prisons, and aftercare programs were obtained. In June 2023, a revised manual was published to assist correctional administrators and practitioners to establish and maintain RSAT programs aligned with existing research and related standards developed for substance use and co-occurring disorder programming and services. This webinar will review the recent revision of the PPGs for RSAT that are the foundation of outcome-based and effective programming and important for all RSAT administrators, managers, and staff to know.
