Berks TASC

TASC also offers medication assisted treatment for inmates through their Jail MAT Project. A great thing about this organization is they’re licensed by Pennsylvania’s Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP) and operate under the Council on Chemical Abuse (COCA).

Substance Use Assessment and Referral Support

TASC primarily provides substance use clinical assessments for County residents without private insurance or those publicly funded through Medicaid. They operate on a walk-in, first-come and first-served basis, so arriving early is recommended.

After the assessment, TASC will help you secure funding and placement at a level of care that’s appropriate for your needs. This could be inpatient detoxification, outpatient or residential treatment depending on your assessed needs.

Medication-Supported Recovery for Incarcerated Individuals

TASC provides medication-assisted treatment (MAT) services for opioid or heroin-dependent inmates at Berks County Jail System (BCJS) through a grant from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD). Under this program, eligible inmates are prescribed Suboxone or Vivitrol as part of a personalized recovery plan to ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings following assessment.

Clients then attend 12 weeks of evidence-based counseling to tackle underlying psychological issues and build effective coping strategies to prevent relapse. They’re referred to a MAT aftercare provider upon release from prison and their Medicaid benefits are activated to support continued care. TASC monitors participants weekly to ensure compliance with medication and counseling while supporting their transition to a drug-free lifestyle.
