Alpha Omega Counseling CenterIOP Program in Danville, IL

Great to meet you

Alpha Omega Counseling Services is an outpatient addiction counseling provider located at 123 N Vermilion, Danville, Illinois 61832, serving Vermilion County and nearby Indiana. The practice describes itself as specializing in DUI evaluations, drug counseling, and problem gambling services. It states that it provides services at ASAM Level 1 and Level 2, and that its core mission is to educate men and women who are seeking help, particularly people dealing with DUI offenses. In 2018 the practice expanded to serve the Spanish-speaking community by opening offices in Rantoul, Illinois, and it lists Spanish-language classes among its offerings. The site explains that in Illinois anyone arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs must undergo an alcohol and drug evaluation before sentencing can occur or before restricted or full driving privileges can be granted by the Office of the Secretary of State. For a DUI evaluation, the site says a sworn report and driving abstract are needed; for a non-DUI evaluation, documentation such as probation or parole information is referenced. The evaluation interview focuses on past and current alcohol and drug use as it relates to driving history, with client responses checked against the driving record, an objective test score, chemical testing results, and possibly other corroborative sources. The site cites the DUI Processes and Evaluations pamphlet from the Illinois Department of Human Services as a reference. For problem gambling, the practice runs a weekly group that began Wednesday, March 3, 2021, meeting each Wednesday from 4:00 to 5:00 pm for one hour. Gambling disorder counseling is offered at Level 1 and Level 2. Staff have appeared in local television interviews and articles about video gambling and problem gambling. Office hours are Monday through Thursday, 9:30 am to 4:30 pm, with Fridays by appointment and walk-ins welcome. The phone number listed is (217) 274-7336.
