Alcoholism & Substance Abuse
The Illinois Department of Human Services is charged with designing, coordinating and funding a comprehensive and coordinated community-based and culturally and gender-appropriate array of services throughout the state for the prevention, intervention, eating disorder treatment and rehabilitation of alcohol and other drug abuse and dependency. This system addresses the needs of at-risk or addicted individuals and their families. As the single state authority for substance abuse issues in Illinois, the Department delegates these responsibilities to the Division of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse (DASA) and the Office of Prevention. Additionally, effective March 16, 1999, Governor George Ryan issued Executive Order #9 which designated DASA as the lead agency for all substance abuse issues for the State of Illinois. As such, DASA is responsible for coordinating the efforts of all state California drug rehab dealing with problems created by substance abuse.
