TASC reaches 25,000 individuals each year throughout Illinois, and we offer training and consultation services nationally and internationally.
Thousands of people with substance abuse and/or mental health problems are mandated to TASC by criminal justice, corrections, and child welfare authorities.
Results show that TASC clients are more successful, in terms of reduced drug use and crime, than their counterparts who don’t go through TASC.

We advocate for and place eligible clients into licensed treatment programs across Illinois.
