What is TASC? Dating back to the 1970s, the TASC model was developed in response to the rising tide of substance-involved offenders revolving through the criminal justice system. The TASC model is based on critical elements 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. Today, the model is used throughout the country.
Many programs using the TASC model have evolved to provide services to those in need of mental health services, as well as families involved in abuse and neglect cases. The TASC model of service provides assessment, treatment, or referral to treatment, case management, and monitoring and reporting services. TASC and TASC-like programs provide an integrated system of care in meeting the needs of the justice system, the treatment system, and, most of all, the client, working with courts (including drug courts), and corrections to ensure treatment is available for community-based supervision, and institutional aftercare.
The National organization 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 National Conference on Drugs and Crime. Working with other organizations and workgroups, National TASC advocates for efficient and effective treatment resources.
