The link between street crime and alcohol and/or drug abuse is substantial. Breaking the cycle of addiction can often keep people from criminal activity. TASC provides an important link between the criminal justice system and the drug and alcohol community.

TASC permits individuals who meet strict criteria to enter treatment for substance abuse. This alleviates pressure on the courts and helps those individuals get their lives back on the right track.

TASC clients are identified and assessed to determine their need for treatment and potential for achieving success. Accepted individuals are referred to appropriate facilities and programs where they are carefully monitored. Participation is on a voluntary basis only and cannot be used to avoid the consequences of a criminal offense.
