Assessment

Students may seek screening through the Counseling Center’s Initial Appointment (IA) process. The IA counselor will be able to determine how in depth the assessment needs to be and make recommendations about how to proceed. The counselor may encourage the student to participate in a formal alcohol and other drug assessment through the Alcohol and Other Drug Office. This is a voluntary process that helps a specialist to look at the situation and determine what recommendations are appropriate. This process is strictly confidential.

Counseling

The Counseling Center offers specialized therapy groups called Discovery Group which is designed to assist students who are attempting to change their relationship with alcohol and/or other drugs. It is appropriate for students whose goals include either abstinence or moderation. Clients must meet with the co-facilitators of the group before participating.

Outreach and Consultation

Staff members are available to provide programs and workshops on alcohol and drug issues for student, staff, or faculty groups. Staff members are also available to consult with staff, faculty, or students on how to handle specific alcohol or drug related problems.  If you would like to request an alcohol education workshop please fill out the online Alcohol and Other Drug Office Outreach Request form.
