Alcohol & Substance Use Resources
TCC Wellness provides resources for students struggling with alcohol and substance use, including screenings, treatment locators, and local support services.
Stress, course load, curiosity, and peer pressure are all reasons college students might use drugs and alcohol. Studies by the Journal of the American Medical Association show that alcohol and substance abuse are closely linked with anxiety and depression. Drugs and alcohol are often used to self-medicate and ease the symptoms of undiagnosed mental health issues, often leading to even worse symptoms.
If you or someone you know need help with alcohol or substance misuse, use the following information to access screenings, and find a treatment provider and local resources in the Tulsa community.
Alcohol & Substance Use Screenings
Mental Health America offers online, confidential screening tools for addiction and other mental health concerns. If a person screens positive, it does not mean they have the diagnosis; it means they should follow up with a physician or mental health provider for further evaluation. Contact Wellness Services for further information, to schedule an appointment or to find a community provider who meets your needs.
