the VA, IDVA, a VAC, the State, and community-based programs supported and sanctioned by
either or both.
(b) Any substance use disorder treatment program to which participants are referred must hold a valid license from the Department of Human Services Division of Substance Use Prevention and Recovery, use evidence-based treatment, and deliver all services in accordance with 77 Ill. Adm. code 2060, including services available through the VA, IDVA or VAC, or an equivalent standard in any other state where treatment may take place.
(c) The veterans and servicemembers court program may, in its discretion, employ
additional services or interventions, as it deems necessary on a case by case basis.
(d) The veterans and servicemembers court program may maintain or collaborate with a
network of mental health treatment programs and, if it is a co-occurring mental health and
