EXTENDED WILLARD TREATMENT CAMPUS
The TASC - Extended Willard Treatment Campus has been operational

month Judicially Sanctioned Willard Model as a Pilot in both
Bronx and Queens Counties. Within the project the Courts in
both these counties, in collaboration with the District Attorneys
in these counties, will sentence appropriate second felony
offender, substance abusing defendants to NYS Parole supervision
wherein it will be required that these defendants spend a
minimum period of 3 months at the Willard Treatment Campus
to be followed by at least 6 months of community based residential
treatment and then 6 months in an outpatient aftercare program.

rehabilitation of participants who upon return to their communities
will be better able to make a positive contribution.
