DUI Class Schedule
Heartland Human Services offers DUI Risk Education classes each month at the main Effingham facility. DUI Risk Education is for anyone who has received a Level I or II DUI and is seeking to get driving privileges reinstated.
The next classes at Heartland’s facility at 1200 N. Fourth St. are scheduled for Mondays, May 20th & 21st 12:30pm to 3:00pm and Tuesday, May 28th & Wednesday May 29th from 12:30pm to 3:00 pm.
For those needing to complete Risk Education, please call to preregister as this will guarantee a spot in the class. Participants who did not complete their DUI evaluation with Heartland Human Services must bring in a copy of their evaluation (uniform report) with them.
Heartland also offers a full range of substance abuse therapies and treatments. Heartland accepts Medicaid and offers sliding fees.
