Who we are
We are people who believe in making a difference for our clients, our communities, and the public systems we serve.
President Barack Obama, then US Senator, praised TASC in 2005. Watch video.
TASC reaches approximately 20,000 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.
