Walk-In Drug and Alcohol Evaluations From Berks TASC
Treatment Access and Services Center, known as Berks TASC, runs a Central Intake Unit that gives substance use clinical evaluations to Berks County residents and determines the most appropriate treatment recommendation, including detoxification, outpatient, or residential treatment services. TASC is a drug and alcohol central intake and treatment referral agency licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs under the auspices of the Council on Chemical Abuse, the Single County Authority in Berks County.
You are eligible for TASC services if you are a Berks County resident with no health insurance or you are insured through Medicaid. People paying out of pocket can also be evaluated through the Central Intake Unit. If you have commercial or private health insurance, you must choose the self-pay option for your evaluation. The page does not say what the self-pay evaluation costs, so ask when you call.
TASC is currently conducting drug and alcohol assessments and CRN evaluations in person. Telehealth is available to those who meet eligibility criteria.
The Central Intake Unit is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm on a walk-in, first-come, first-served basis. Go early in the day: to allow sufficient time for completion of the evaluation process, the last individuals are seen at 2:30 pm.
