 TASC (Treatment
Accountability for Safer Communities)is a membership
association representing programs and individuals from across
the United States. National TASC members are dedicated
professionals delivering screening, assessment, referral and
case management services to substance-abusing adult and
juvenile offender populations. Our mission is to offer
leadership, advocacy and policy recommendations for innovative
treatment and recovery supports, resulting in opportunities
for justice-involved individuals with behavioral health needs
to achieve healthy and productive lives with their families
and communities.In addition to being an effective program model, TASC has also distilled a methodology of critical elements which are fundamental to integrating the criminal justice and substance abuse treatment systems, holding offenders and both systems accountable through the implementation of client-specific case management. As such, TASC methods can be utilized by programs or systems attempting to manage drug-involved offenders and other people involved with the courts as they occupy places in both justice and treatment programming. National TASC provides consultation and technical assistance to federal, state and local agencies seeking to link the justice system with treatment. Monographs and training materials are routinely developed and the association hosts the annual National Conference on Drugs and Crime. Working with other organizations and workgroups, National TASC advocates for efficient and effective treatment resources. |
