STATE OF ILLINOIS EVALUATION PROCESS
In Illinois, anyone arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs (DUI) must undergo an alcohol and drug evaluation before sentencing can occur for the DUI offense, or restricted or full driving privileges can be granted by the Office of the Secretary of State. The purpose of the evaluation is to determine the extent of the defendant’s alcohol and/or drug use and its associated risk to current or future public safety.
CONTACT US DIRECTLY FOR YOUR EVALUATION IF YOU ARE ON COURT SUPERVISION, ADULT PROBATION, PAROLE OR IF YOU RECEIVED YOUR OFFENSE IN A COUNTY OTHER THAN CHICAGO COOK COUNTY.
