Illinois Court-Ordered Drug & Alcohol Awareness Requirements
Illinois courts order drug & alcohol awareness under the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS). Common charges include Battery (720 ILCS 5/12-3), Assault (720 ILCS 5/12-1), Aggravated Battery (720 ILCS 5/12-3.05), Domestic Battery (720 ILCS 5/12-3.2), and Disorderly Conduct (720 ILCS 5/26-1).
Cook County (Chicago) handles a very high volume of drug & alcohol awareness cases. The Domestic Violence Division of Cook County Circuit Court has specific requirements for DV cases that may differ from general drug & alcohol awareness. For DV convictions under 720 ILCS 5/12-3.2, courts may order a Partner Abuse Intervention Program (PAIP) rather than drug & alcohol awareness.
Illinois judges have broad discretion to order drug & alcohol awareness as a condition of probation or supervision. The duration is set by the judge, typically ranging from 8 to 26 hours.
