Substance Abuse

Assessment of Substance Use
Because excessive alcohol and/or drug use by college students can become somewhat "normalized" it is often difficult for students to determine if their own substance use is problematic. If you think you may have a problem with alcohol and/or drugs, feel free to complete this self-screening questionnaire. If you would like to schedule a confidential assessment, please call Lisa Arnold, Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor at (203) 254-4166.

The Grand Group: Alcohol and Drug Harm Reduction
A group for students interested in exploring strategies to reduce the harm that alcohol and other drugs have caused in their lives.
For more information contact Lisa Arnold, L.A.D.C. at (203) 254-4166.

Recovery Group
A group for students who have decided that alcohol and drug use has interfered with their health and well being. The group is based on an abstinence model. Students support each other in sobriety and learn strategies to remain drug and alcohol free.
For more information, contact Kevin Curry, C.A.D.C. at (203) 706-9620.
