Alcohol and Substance Abuse
You should seek substance abuse counseling if:
- You have chronic hangovers, difficulty studying, or otherwise question your relationship to alcohol or drugs
- Someone who cares has expressed concern about your use of drugs or alcohol
- You frequently use drugs or alcohol to a state of intoxication
- You experience a blackout (a temporary loss of memory), due to the use of alcohol
- You resist hearing or learning anything about the negative effects of drugs or alcohol
- You come into conflict with the law, or sustain bodily injury as a consequence of intoxication
- You were raised in a family where problem drinking or alcoholism was present
- You have friends or loved ones whose use of mood-altering substances is a concern to you
If any of these or other negative consequences of substance abuse are present, it makes good sense to seek evaluation and help.
