AOD Assessments are provided to address concerns around alcohol and drug use, as well as behavioral addictions including sex, gambling, and the internet. The AOD team does not complete assessments related to the use of nicotine or caffeine. AOD Assessments allow students the opportunity to specifically explore concerns around substance use, receive support and guidance, and determine a plan of action most useful in meeting their goals for change. A full assessment takes two scheduled sessions to complete. Sessions are typically scheduled between one to two weeks apart. 

Students wanting to schedule and AOD assessment for themselves can call 217-333-3704.

University of Illinois staff who are referring students for AOD services can complete this form and fax it to 217-244-7586.
