Wherever substance use meets criminal justice involvement, TASC’s Center for Health and Justice has answers.

We partner with leaders and jurisdictions—from police to parole and all points in between—to develop results-driven strategies that make communities safer, promote equity, improve community health and reduce people’s involvement in the justice system.
