PURPOSE OF EVALUATION
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.
HOW EVALUATION IS PERFORMED
The State of Illinois uses a DUI Alcohol and Drug Evaluation Uniform Report to determine the extent of alcohol/drug use and it's associated risk. The report consists of many factors:
- Objective test score
- Driving history and current offense
- Chemical test results ( blood alcohol concentration – BAC) from past and current arrests
- Initial screening interview with an evaluator who is a certified alcohol and drug counselor
The screening interview will obtain facts including:
- Past and current alcohol and drug use
- Past and current arrests involving alcohol and drugs
- Determination of the extent to which the substance use has caused marital, family, legal, social, emotional, vocational, physical and/or economic impairment
These factors listed above are used to determine a recommended risk level of one of the following:
- Minimal
- Moderate
- Significant
- High
RISK LEVEL CLASSIFICATION
Risk Levels determine the extent of the defendant’s alcohol and/or drug use and potential risk to current or future public safety.
Risk Level Recommendations are based on what is clinically appropriate to address concerns related to alcohol and drug use.
These recommendations could include:
- Alcohol and drug education classes
- Intervention treatment
- Substance abuse treatment
- Ongoing activities outlined in continued care plan
