The Chesterfield County Sheriff’s Office is applying under Category 1:
Locally Driven Responses to the Opioid Epidemic and Subcategory 1A - a service area with a
population of over 500,000. The proposed initiative will allow the Chesterfield County Sheriff’s
Office to expand evidence-based substance use treatment, peer recovery support services, and

allowable use of implementing evidence-based substance use disorder treatment related to
opioids, stimulants, and other drugs and recovery support services for pre-trial and post-trial
populations leaving jail. Deliverables include providing case management, treatment, and

individuals, providing peer recovery support services to up to 240 justice-involved individuals,
and providing evidence-based supervision and treatment to up to 240 individuals on pretrial
supervision over the life of the grant.
