DUI EVALUATIONS

 

Cloudgate Healthcare conducts professional alcohol and drug evaluations for individuals involved in DUI proceedings in court or seeking license reinstatement through the Illinois Secretary of State. Our office has a service area that spans many counties throughout Illinois. Evaluations are available to clients throughout Illinois, including those with pending or resolved cases in Cook, DeKalb, Dupage, Kane, Kankakee, Kendall, McHenry, Stephenson, and Will Counties. Our agency also regularly completes comprehensive evaluations for Illinois Secretary of State license reinstatement hearings.

 

In some counties, such as DuPage or Cook, courts may require that evaluations be completed by a local, approved provider or through a courthouse agency. In those situations, Cloudgate Healthcare will assist in identifying the appropriate evaluator for their venue. In non-restricted counties, Cloudgate will perform the evaluation directly for the court and ensure that documentation is delivered in a format that meets judicial expectations.

 

An alcohol or drug evaluation in Illinois is a structured clinical interview conducted by a licensed professional. The purpose of the evaluation is to determine the extent of an individual’s substance use and to assess any relationship between that use and the offense for which the person was arrested or convicted. Evaluators examine arrest history, driving record, BAC level, and personal substance use history.

 

Each evaluation results in a classification that determines what services are required under Illinois administrative rules:

​​

• Minimum Risk: No evidence of problematic use. 10 Hour DUI Risk Education is required.

​

• Moderate Risk: Some indicators of problematic use. 10 Hour DUI Risk Education course and 12 Hours of Early Intervention are required.

​

• Significant Risk: Established pattern of alcohol or drug misuse. Meets criteria for substance abuse disorder, mild or moderate. Minimum of 20 hours of outpatient treatment is required in addition to10 Hour DUI Risk Education course.

​

• High Risk (Dependent or Non-Dependent): Meets criteria for a substance use disorder, severe. A minimum of 75 hours of outpatient treatment is required, along with continuing care program.

 

Evaluations are often the first step in the reinstatement or sentencing process. Cloudgate Healthcare ensures that all evaluation documents are clear, accurate, and in compliance with 92 Ill. Adm. Code §1001.440 and 77 Ill. Adm. Code §2060.503, as applicable.
