Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(20 ILCS 1705/10) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 100-10)

Sec. 10.

To examine persons admitted to facilities of the Department
for treatment of mental illness or developmental disability to determine
if the person has a substance use disorder as defined in the Substance Use Disorder Act.  Based on such
examination,
the Department shall provide necessary medical, education and rehabilitation
services, and shall arrange for further assessment and
referral of such persons to appropriate treatment services for persons with substance use
disorders. Referral of such persons by the Department to appropriate treatment services for persons with substance use disorders shall be made to providers who are able to accept the persons and perform a further assessment within a clinically appropriate time. This Section does not require that the Department maintain an individual in a Department facility who is otherwise eligible for discharge as provided in the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code.

The Department shall not deny treatment and care to any person subject
to admission to a facility under its control for treatment for a mental illness
or developmental disability solely on the basis of their substance use disorders.
