Substance Abuse Unit

Do you or does someone you know:

• Drink or use drugs to forget about problems?

• Drink or use drugs to feel relaxed or comfortable around other people?

• Have family members with drug or alcohol problems?

• Have conflicts with friends after drinking or using other drugs?

• Ever feel guilty about drinking, drug use, or your behavior under the influence of alcohol or other drugs?

• Ever have trouble remembering what was done or said while drinking or using other drugs?

• Ever get drunk or high after making a conscious decision to stay sober/straight?

• Drink until there is nothing left to drink, or use other drugs until the supply is exhausted?

• Ever miss class because of a hangover?

• Sometimes feel like your drinking or drug use is getting out of control?

An answer of YES to as few as two or three of these questions may indicate that you, or someone you know, could be at risk for an alcohol or other drug problem. Both the University and the local community offer programs and assistance for helping individuals with alcohol or other drug problems.

For help for yourself or a friend or family member with a drug or alcohol problem, please feel free to call if you have questions about how to handle the situation with which you are dealing.
