ABC DUI Services

Focused Support for Court-Ordered Clients

The center specializes in helping individuals meet the legal and educational requirements tied to DUI and substance-related offenses in Illinois. Their work begins with thorough evaluations, both court-ordered and voluntary, to understand the extent of alcohol or drug use, its impact on driving, and any associated risks to public safety. These assessments provide a clear path forward, ensuring each client understands the steps needed to fulfill state mandates.

Education that Meets Illinois Requirements

The DUI Risk Education program satisfies Illinois Secretary of State standards and covers topics like how substance use affects driving ability, the state’s DUI laws and penalties, and blood alcohol concentration’s impact on performance. Education is offered in both group and individual settings, providing flexibility for different learning styles. Early intervention classes are also available for those at risk of developing more serious substance use issues, focusing on causes, effects, life skills, and connection to community support groups.

Evidence-Based Counseling and Flexible Scheduling

Treatment is grounded in evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention. Individual counseling allows for personal, focused attention, while group counseling builds peer connection for mutual support. Sessions are led by Illinois Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselors (CADC), and the center offers flexible scheduling to accommodate work, family, and court obligations.

Case Management and Aftercare

In addition to fulfilling legal requirements, the center emphasizes personal growth and future stability. Case management assists with gathering and submitting required legal paperwork, while counselors connect clients to community resources for housing, employment, or health care. Education extends to tobacco cessation, HIV/AIDS, and hepatitis, equipping clients with knowledge to protect their health. Aftercare includes scheduled follow-up sessions and referrals to ongoing counseling or local support groups. Discharge planning addresses practical next steps like securing stable transportation and building a long-term support network.
