You should seek substance abuse counseling if...


You have chronic hangovers, difficulty studying or otherwise question your
relationship to alcohol and/or drugs.

Someone who cares has expressed concern about your use of drugs/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/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.
