RSAT Program (October 27, 2025)

The District of Columbia Department of Corrections (DC DOC) RSAT Program serves both men and women in two gender-specific, designated units within the correctional treatment facility (CTF). RSAT participants and mentors are the only residents of these units. The program provides evidence-based care to individuals experiencing substance use disorders and co-occurring disorders. An important reason why the RSAT program is invaluable is because program leadership adopted the peer support model to train RSAT mentors on becoming peer specialist.

In comes Mozell Brown, DC Recovery’s Certified Recovery Coach and Specialist, who provided the information needed for the RSAT participants to successfully become peer specialist. Now they are empowered with the knowledge and encouragement to help build the D.C. community as peer specialists. What a double blessing to the RSAT participants for graduating the program on October 29th and for their goal of becoming peer specialists.

Special thanks to Cathy Voss, RSAT’s Supervisory Correctional Treatment Specialist, for inviting DC Recovery to participate and thank you DC Recovery’s Outreach Team for your continued efforts in supporting the courageous folks on the path to full recovery.
