The specialists share their own experience, strength, and hope. They help people meet basic needs such as food, clothing, and housing, and they give assistance with employment, literacy, transportation, and access to counseling and support groups.

Recovery Support Services is only available for Treatment Court participants. TASC offers the service free of charge for anyone with a sincere desire to stay clean and sober. More broadly, TASC states that if you are a Berks County resident with no health insurance, or you are insured through Medicaid, you are eligible for services at TASC.
