ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUG USE

Alcohol is the most commonly used addictive substance in the United ºìÐÓÊÓƵs. Over time, excessive alcohol use can lead to numerous health problems, chronic diseases, neurological impairments, and social problems. Alcohol should be consumed in moderation, which equates to two drinks or less per day for men and one drink or less per day for women.

Alcohol and drug addiction is a preventable disease. If you are concerned that you or a family member may have a problem, ºìÐÓÊÓƵ ºìÐÓÊÓƵ can help you to address these concerns. View the resources below, which include alcohol screening opportunities and counseling services offered to ºìÐÓÊÓƵ ºìÐÓÊÓƵ employees, students, and often family members, too.
