TASC provides care management to people with substance use or mental illness who are involved in the justice system. It combines the influence of legal sanctions with treatment and support services to permanently interrupt the cycle of addiction and crime, and serves as a critical link between the justice system and treatment services. Coastal Horizons Center provides TASC services in 53 counties in eastern North Carolina, and offers:

• Screening and assessment for those referred.
• Referral and linkages to treatment services needed.
• Access to wrap around services in the local community.
• Monitoring and reporting of treatment progress.

Regional Coordinating Entities

TASC services are available in every county in North Carolina and are organized into four regions that reflect the state's judicial districts and divisions. This structure facilitates communication across court, correctional and treatment systems. Each region is organized and managed via a TASC Regional Coordinating Entity (RCE), a key element of the standardized and integrated statewide network. Coastal Horizons Center, Inc., operates the TASC RCE for Regions 1 and 2. The TASC RCE’s serve as the management infrastructure for the effective delivery of substance use and other treatment interventions to the justice involved population in eastern North Carolina. The RCE’s are the administrative and accountability link between the TASC network and the NC Division Of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Abuse Services, and are responsible for ensuring that standardized TASC services, hosted by a network of public and private agencies, are available uniformly throughout the regions.
