Illinois Drug Testing

The Opioid Crisis has impacted the state of Illinois in a devastating fashion. According to recent statistics, "Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) data shows 2,278 drug-related overdose deaths during 2016. This represents a 44.3 percent increase over the 1,579 drug-related overdose deaths that were reported."

Illinois has attempted to address the issue of Drug and Alcohol deaths and especially opiates in a variety of fashions including the establishment of Illinois Public Act 096-0361 which allowed non-medical persons to administer Naloxone, a medication to prevent heroin overdoses from becoming fatal. Subsequently, the Illinois Public Act 097-0687 or "Good Samaritan law" ensured that those providing assistance and those receiving it wouldn't be persecuted for felony possession (within limits).
