Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Mental Health, Substance Abuse Dependency, Prevention & Treatment
Mission: To promote the overall well-being of the community by providing behavioral health services, including substance use treatment, education, forensic drug testing and supportive services.
Programs: Treatment assessment screening center, inc. ("tasc") is a nonprofit corporation established to provide laboratory, collection and testing services along with assessments and group and individual treatment services to those with substance abuse problems in the states of arizona, texas, and utah. The objective of tasc is to effectively treat substance abuse to break the cycle of abuse and its related problems, and to provide behavioral health services including urinalysis, drug testing, diagnosis, outpatient treatment, monitoring, case management and educational services. In 2017, approximately 110,000 residents of arizona, texas, and utah were served.
the tasc community grant initiative is a two year program focused on prevention and early intervention because children are approached at a young age to try drugs and alcohol. As a result, parents need research-based education and guidance on how to raise drug-free kids. Youth need additional education about the risks associated with substance use with the goal they will be influenced not to use. In arizona, 13 years old is the average age of first time drug use (source: arizona youth survey). 90% of adults suffering from addiction developed the problem between the ages of 12 to 20 years old (source: treatment research institute) underscoring the need to reach this population. Tasc provided grants to 6 organizations to help support education for youth drug prevention.
