The Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS) operates the Division of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse (DASA), which is the state authority for substance abuse issues in Illinois.
DASA is primarily responsible for providing prevention, intervention and treatment services related to alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. The services include: case management, community intervention, detoxification, HIV testing and counseling, intensive outpatient services, early intervention, residential rehabilitation and toxicology.
Patients can access DASA services on the phone via DHS hotline at 1-800-843-6154. Select extension 3 at the first prompt and extension 6 at the second prompt.
