Illinois DocAssist is a consultation service designed to help primary care providers diagnose and treat mental health and substance abuse issues for patients ages 0-21 years old.
The phone consultations are available Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. All consultations are free. DocAssist consultants are UIC faculty and staff clinicians with expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric mental health and substance abuse.
In addition to phone consultations, DocAssist offers trainings as well as the opportunity to schedule collaborative office rounds at the primary care location. DocAssist can also provide referral resources for patients when face-to-face consultations with a psychiatrist or mental health professional is appropriate.
