The CDC's correctional health guidance provides comprehensive resources and recommendations for correctional facility staff, public health professionals, and community organizations. It includes guidelines for testing, vaccination, and treatment of HIV, viral hepatitis, tuberculosis (TB), and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) for both incarcerated individuals and staff. The guidance also covers COVID-19 management, worker safety, overdose prevention, and food safety in correctional settings.

The CDC's correctional health webpage provides essential information and resources on the health and well-being of individuals involved in the justice system. It highlights the increased health risks faced by this population, such as higher rates of infectious diseases, mental health issues, and substance use disorders.

The Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) Program is a formula grant program that enhances the capabilities of state, local, and tribal governments to provide residential substance use disorder (SUD) treatment to adult and juvenile populations during detention or incarceration, initiate or continue evidence-based SUD treatment in jails, prepare individuals for reintegration into the community, and assist them and their communities throughout the reentry process by delivering community- based treatment and other recovery aftercare services. It encourages the establishment and maintenance of drug-free prisons and jails and development and implementation of specialized residential SUD treatment for individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. The program also encourages the inclusion of medication-assisted treatment as part of any SUD treatment protocol.
