Health Risks Associated with the Use of Illicit Drugs and Alcohol (continued)

Alcohol Effects
Alcohol consumption causes a number of marked changes in behavior. Even low doses significantly impair the judgment and coordination required to drive a car safely, increasing the likelihood that the driver will be involved in an accident. Low to moderate doses of alcohol also increase the incidence of a variety of aggressive acts, including spouse and child abuse. Moderate to high doses of alcohol cause marked impairments in higher mental functions, severely altering a person's ability to learn and remember information. Very high doses cause respiratory depression and death. If combined with other depressants of the central nervous system, much lower doses of alcohol will produce the effects just described. Repeated use of alcohol can lead to dependence. Sudden cessation of alcohol intake is likely to produce withdrawal symptoms, including severe anxiety, tremors, hallucinations, and convulsions. Alcohol withdrawal can be life threatening. Long-term consumption of large quantities of alcohol, particularly when combined with poor nutrition, can also lead to permanent damage to vital organs such as the brain and the liver. Mothers who drink alcohol during pregnancy may give birth to infants with fetal alcohol syndrome. These infants have irreversible physical abnormalities and mental retardation. In addition, research indicates that children of alcoholic parents are at greater risk than other youngsters of becoming alcoholics.

Counseling, Treatment, and Education Programs

The Student Counseling Center (516-877-3646), a unit of the Division of Student Affairs, has been designated as the coordinating office for all matters regarding referrals for substance abuse counseling and/or treatment programs for students. The Center for Psychological Services (516-877-4820) has been designated as the coordinating office for employees, who may be referred to the Center by the Office of Human Resources. For on-campus counseling, information about or referrals to off-campus detoxification, inpatient, and outpatient treatment programs, please contact the above offices. During each semester's orientation program for new students, a seminar concerning the use and abuse of illicit drugs and alcohol is provided. In addition, the University's policies, rules, and standards for maintaining a campus free of substance abuse, as well as available counseling, treatment and educational programs are reviewed. The University participates in the National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week. This week features a variety of programs and activities geared to educating the campus community and reducing substance abuse. Literature and educational materials on relevant topics regarding substance use and abuse are readily available in the Student Counseling Center, Health Services, and the Office of Human Resources. The Student Counseling Center provides ongoing seminars, workshops, educational programs and outreach activities regarding substance abuse. Programs can be geared to any particular campus group or department upon request.
