Care Clinics Inc

I had a spectacular experience with Care Clinics in Aurora. I was arrested for a DUI many years ago and I thought that it was behind me until I got a notice from the state that they were going to revoke my driver's license. I searched for a place to help get my driver's license back. I found Care Clinics was qualified to perform the required DUI evaluation. I spoke with the receptionist Crystal and she was very friendly and answered all of my questions. I was in a dire need of a late evening appointment due to my profession. She set me up with Scott for an appointment at 8:00 p.m. to help me not miss any work. I found this unbelievable to get an appointment that late. I also found a coupon on their website and asked if I could use that for my appointment and she said yes. Crystal gave me a list of documents to obtain and I was able to locate all the necessary information. I talked to my old attorney about my arrest report and told him what happened. The attorney knew of Care Clinics so I thought that was good as well. I arrived for my appointment 15 minutes late but Scott was gracious about the late arrival. Scott interviewed me for about an hour and was very helpful about the process to get my license back. I had to do the DUI class and go to counseling. Since time was of the essence I was able to do group counseling which was pretty cheap compared to some other places I called. The group counseling was great only 8 or 10 of us in the group. I found that there were other professionals in the group and it really helped me. I was really amazed at the information I was given about alcohol. I did not think my drinking was excessive or even needed to change but I learned that alcohol in small amounts was okay but excessive drinking was not only dangerous it was damaging my liver! Scott was one of my group leaders and he listened to our concerns, problems, and complaints about court and hoops we were jumping through just to get our license back. During one of the sessions we talked about how alcohol effected our families and one of our members broke down in group it was pretty intense but Scott pointed out to him he was changing and that in a previous session his wife told him how happy she was that he stopped drinking. I think it says about a place and staff members that you feel safe to be open and honest during these sessions. I could tell that the group member was relieved and did acknowledge he was changing. I was also in the DUI education group and Peggy was the best! She was a social worker as well and made us all feel very comfortable. Peggy taught us all about the DUI laws, the effects alcohol had on our bodies, how alcohol and drugs affects are driving skills, and how you could get a DUI on prescription medication. Scott then prepared me for my hearing which was such a relief because I just didn't know what to expect. Scott informed me that I needed to memorize my drinking history and not to make any mistakes. Scott also told me that I needed to be able to accurately inform the hearing officer what my problem was, what did I learn, and what changes I made to stop another DUI arrest. Well the big day arrived and I was nervous but what I learned at Care Clinics helped me get a driving permit on the first hearing. It took about 1 month to get all of my requirements completed which helped immensely since I was getting rides from family, friends, and neighbors. I really believe that you should give credit were credit is due at that is for Care Clinics and all of their wonderful staff. If I had any family or friends in need of alcohol or drug counseling I would tell them to go to Care Clinics!

Driver License Reinstatement



I went to Care Clinics to get my driver's license reinstated following a DUI revocation. This place was great! I think the most important thing about this place is the staff. Can you believe that a REAL person answers the phone every time! They really want to help you get your license back. The fees were really low, a friend of mine paid twice what I paid at some other place and he didn't even get his license back! I learned I needed to change my drinking so I didn't get another DUI arrest. The counseling really helped because after I changed my drinking I noticed that I felt better and my relationship with my boyfriend got better! If you want to get better go to Care Clinics!

I got a DUI in Will county and my lawyer gave me these guys number to get an evaluation. I got an appointment late in the evening which was pretty helpful. I was surprised they actual had a "live" person to talk to when I called. The evaluator explained everything to me and I was able to complete my recommendations within a month which helped since I had waited too long to start. All I can say is these guys are good and the fees were low!!
