UNDERSTANDING DUI RISK CLASSIFICATIONS AND INTERVENTIONS
​
In Illinois, individuals convicted of DUI must complete a clinical evaluation to determine their DUI risk classification. This classification identifies the type of intervention required by the court or Secretary of State. The term intervention in this context refers to court or Secretary of State-ordered educational or treatment services. It does not refer to a personal intervention led by friends or family.
​
The four primary risk classifications in Illinois are:
​
-
Minimum Risk
Assigned when there is no history of DUI offenses, BAC was under 0.15, and there are no signs of substance misuse.
Required: 10-hour DUI Risk Education course.
​
-
Moderate Risk
Assigned when BAC was between 0.15 and 0.19, testing was refused, or one symptom of a substance use disorder is identified.
Required: 10-hour DUI Risk Education plus 12-hour Early Intervention Program.
​
-
Significant Risk
Assigned when there is a prior DUI arrest or conviction, BAC was 0.20 or greater, or two to three symptoms of substance use disorder are identified.
Required: 10-hour DUI Risk Education, 20 hours of Substance Use Treatment, and Continuing Care.
​
-
High Risk
Assigned when multiple prior DUI offenses are present or four or more symptoms of substance use disorder are identified.
Required: 75 or more hours of Substance Use Treatment and Continuing Care.
Each classification corresponds to a structured series of services that must be completed before court or administrative compliance can be verified. Cloudgate Healthcare matches each client to the appropriate level of care and ensures that all documentation reflects compliance with Illinois Administrative Code Section 2060.
​
HOW THE PROCESS WORKS WITH CLOUDGATE HEALTHCARE
​
Cloudgate Healthcare follows a structured, client-centered process that ensures compliance with both legal and clinical standards.

Evening and weekend options are offered for convenience. Our office can perform the intake appointment virtually.
Step 2: Evaluation Appointment
The DUI evaluation is conducted either online or in-person. During this session, the clinician will review the individual’s sworn police reports, driving abstract, substance use history, and other background information. The goal is to determine the most accurate DUI risk classification based on clinical and legal factors.
​
Step 3: Assignment of Risk Level and Scheduling of Services
Once a classification is assigned, the client is scheduled to begin the appropriate services. These include Risk Education, Early Intervention, Substance Use Treatment, or Continuing Care. Cloudgate Healthcare coordinates all clinical activities with clear communication.
Step 4: Delivery of Services
Clients complete their assigned educational or treatment services with licensed professionals in a supportive and confidential setting. Sessions are available online or in-person and are structured to promote insight, behavioral change, and legal compliance.
Step 5: Documentation and Completion
After services are completed, Cloudgate Healthcare provides official documentation for submission to the court or Secretary of State. These reports include evaluations, treatment needs assessments, treatment documents, discharge letters, and any required denial responses. All documents are reviewed for accuracy and formatted to meet administrative standards.
