COURSE OBJECTIVES - WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
Impaired driving is a primary focus of this course. However, because driving after drinking and/or using other drugs is only one of many risk-taking behaviors that may accompany substance use, the course also explores a broader spectrum of risks associated with substance use.
COURSE OBJECTIVES INCLUDE:
- Information on alcohol as a drug.
- Physiological and pharmacological effects of alcohol and other drugs, including their residual impairment on normal levels of driving performance.
- Other drugs, legal and illegal, and their effects on driving when used separately and/or in combination with alcohol.
- Substance abuse/dependence and the effect on individuals and families.
- Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level and its effect on driving performance.
- Information about Illinois driving under the influence laws and associated penalties.
- Factors that influence the formation of patterns of alcohol and drug abuse.
- Information about referrals for services that can address any identified problem that may increase the risk for future alcohol/drug related difficulty.
WHAT TO EXPECT
A licensed drug and alcohol counselor will be facilitating the classes and will treat you with respect & dignity, provide a safe and non-judgmental atmosphere and protect your confidentiality.
When you arrive for your first class, a pre-test will be given to assess your knowledge of the course objectives and you will be given a booklet to use throughout the course.
After the final class is completed, you will take the post test to assess any increase in knowledge regarding the course objectives.
To successfully complete risk education, you must attend each class in its entirety and achieve a minimum score on the post-test of 75%.
