Alcohol and Other Drug Services provides various educational opportunities on campus and in classrooms for students to assess and evaluate personal risk factors and relationships to alcohol and substance use. The Alcohol and Other Drug Service is student friendly! We strive to make talking to a professional at our center a positive, helpful learning experience. The Student Wellness Center is a welcoming, non-judgmental environment where students can find caring, confidential help and support. Anyone can make an appointment for any reason concerning issues related to substance use, whether it be a self referral or concerning a friend or family member. The Alcohol and Other Drug Service offers confidential individual and group counseling for alcohol and substance use. Our goal is to:

• help each student best understand and evaluate the sometimes confusing, mixed feelings one may have regarding their substance use and their relationship to that substance.
• help each student carefully and honestly determine the direction and choices that are best for them, and help provide the assistance and support that may be needed.

We can also provide referral to off-campus treatment and self-help groups when appropriate and in collaboration with the student. The Alcohol and Other Drug Service of the Student Wellness Center is also involved in campus events and activities that help educate students about important and relevant issues and information. The purpose of such events and activities is to empower students with the ability, support and information to make safe and healthy choices when it comes to alcohol and other drugs.
