Substance Use Disorders

In a confidential and non-judgmental space UHS mental health providers work collaboratively with students to identify their readiness to make changes in their relationships with alcohol and/or other substances.  Students and providers will work toward the goal of improving health outcomes and reducing harmful behaviors.

A personalized treatment plan may include individual and/or group counseling. Group treatment can help students build community through offering and receiving support from others who are also making changes in their relationship with alcohol and/or other substances. Additional on- and off- campus resources may also be considered.

CHOICES About Alcohol

CHOICES About Alcohol is a brief alcohol harm prevention program for college students, delivered using Interactive Journaling® to present accurate information about alcohol while engaging students in a self-reflective process and group discussion. Students are given the freedom and encouragement to independently choose to change high-risk drinking behaviors by evaluating the risks associated with excessive use of alcohol using harm reduction coping strategies presented during the program.

All sessions are virtual and held from 5 – 6:30 p.m.
