RECOVERY STARTS HERE.
At TASC, we believe that recovery from addiction is possible, and that treatment works.
TASC is currently conducting drug and alcohol assessments
and CRN evaluations in-person.
Telehealth is available to those who meet eligibility criteria.
Please stop in or call 610-375-4426 between
8:00 AM and 4:00 PM Monday through Friday.
Treatment Access and Services Center (TASC), Inc. is a drug and alcohol central intake and treatment referral agency licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP) under the auspices of the Council on Chemical Abuse (COCA), the Single County Authority in Berks County. Originally founded in the 1980s as Treatment Alternatives to Street Crime as part of the national “war on drugs” movement, TASC became incorporated in 1992 and changed its name to better reflect its mission of guiding as many individuals as possible into substance abuse treatment services.
The TASC Central Intake Unit (CIU) provides substance use clinical evaluations for Berks County residents to determine the most appropriate treatment recommendation, including detoxification, outpatient, or residential treatment services. The CIU is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm on a walk-in, first-come, first-served basis. To allow sufficient time for completion of the evaluation process, the last individuals are seen at 2:30 pm.
Individuals who are uninsured, enrolled in Medicaid, or paying out of pocket are eligible for evaluations through CIU. Individuals with commercial/private health insurance must choose the self-pay option for their evaluation.
