BIP runs for 12 weeks, classes meet once a week for two hours. TASC is not treatment. TASC provides chemical dependency assessments to determine if and what type of treatment is needed.
Treatment is referred out to various providers within the community.
The length of the program varies upon the client's treatment needs. The primary purpose of TASC is to refer clients for appropriate chemical dependency treatment. In the client's continued support for sobriety, referrals for ancillary services such as housing are made. Clients must be referred by Common Pleas Court or Cleveland Municipal Court by court order as a condition of probation or community control or by the Adult Parole Authority as a condition of parole. The program may deny or reduce compensation to anyone injured while committing a crime or anyone who helped cause the crime that resulted to the injury.
