Abuse Help

III. Where can you go for help for yourself and others?

The College encourages students and employees who use illegal drugs or who abuse alcohol to seek appropriate assistance.

The College provides alcohol and drug abuse information, education, and counseling or referral services to help meet individual needs and to assist in times of crisis. The Counseling Center and the Student Health Center are available to all members of the College community for confidential alcohol or drug-related assistance, whether or not those members are covered under the College health insurance program. Members of the College community are urged to refer individuals troubled by illegal drug use or alcohol use problems to the Counseling Center, Student Health Center, director of personnel services or the appropriate dean or supervisor.

Employee resources

Most Lewis & Clark employees (.5 or greater FTE and not including student employees) and their dependents are eligible for the College's employee assistance program. Eligible employees (or their dependents) can make an appointment with an employye assistance program counselor. Meeting take place away from work and are strictly confidential. (If the employee initiates the contact, no information -- not even the fact that the employee has seen the EAP counselor -- will be related to the employer. If the contact is recommended or required by the employer, some information -- for example, that the employee has kept the appointment -- may be relayed back to the employer. The EAP counselor will discuss with the employee any information that will go to the employer.) The EAP counselor, an expert in the area of drug and alcohol problems, can provide information, assessment, consultation, and referral.
