Alcohol and Substance Abuse
Alcohol and Drug Use on College Campuses…
We’ve seen that combination portrayed all over movies and TV shows, but what does it look like in real life, what does it look like for you?
If you have questions about your use or the use of a friend, we offer confidential counseling services to help out. We know that you are faced with difficult choices at times when it comes to drug and alcohol use, and it can be helpful to talk about those choices. In our sessions, we can help you achieve the goals that you set. This can mean learning how to drink in a safer way where the likelihood of you experiencing negative consequences from your use can be reduced. We can talk about what safer use is and what it isn’t. And if you decide that you don’t want to use anything anymore, we can help you with that too.

Collegiate Recovery Community (CRC)
Recovery from drug and alcohol use is a voluntary commitment to a sober lifestyle. A person in long term recovery is actively engaged in activities that promote sobriety and overall wellness. Our Collegiate Recovery Community (CRC) is designed to be support based and student oriented. It is a resource for college students who are actively working to protect their sobriety and for students who have been impacted by the addiction of a close friend or family member. The CRC also plans events and activities focused on and supportive of recovery. For more information email: Jessica at Jestok@udel.edu
ScreenU Assessment Tool
ScreenU is an online, anonymous and confidential screening tool that provides students with immediate, personalized feedback about their use of alcohol, marijuana, or prescription drugs. Students who take the ScreenU assessment receive strategies to reduce risk and harm related to their use. Students will also receive information about campus resources and services available to support them if they choose to make changes to their use.
- ScreenU is FREE for students, and you can take it as many times as you want.
- It takes approximately 5 – 10 minutes to complete the online tool depending on your responses.
- Remember to answer the questions honestly to receive accurate feedback.
