Description
The Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS), Division of Behavioral Health & Recovery, administers this competitive, state-funded program. Providers work with court stakeholders to obtain referrals, conduct validated clinical assessments, and connect Illinois residents on pretrial release with voluntary services. Programs operate within one of twelve defined service areas and maintain ongoing relationships with courts and community providers.
Required supports include behavioral health case management, clinically indicated detoxification and medication-assisted treatment or referrals, childcare, and transportation to court when unavailable through court stakeholders. Programs may also offer harm reduction, crisis interventions, peer support, social-emotional skills, short-term clinical sessions, and motivational interviewing. The program prioritizes equity, racial justice, and inclusive services, with local advisory councils recommending goals that providers operationalize with IDHS.
