Drugs & Alcohol

Being a student might mean that some of you will experience smoking, drugs and alcohol regularly or with excess. 

There can be a downside and for some people, this use can become problematic and lead to unwanted consequences in their lives and studies.

The NHS  and the  Advice and Counselling Service offer useful advice and information.

• Check if you are drinking too much and if your drinking is putting your health at risk. To get help visit Alcohol Change UK.                           
• If you wish to stop smoking, please contact the Student Health Service or visit QUIT.                                                   
• To find out about drugs or get advice, talk to Frank.  

RESET will be running free, confidential drop-in clinics every last Tuesday of the month. They will provide support and information to students who are using any substance, including alcohol, opiates, stimulants, cannabis and new psychoactive drugs, generating a variety of different services to support individual needs.

RESET will help answers and provide support on frequently asked questions such as;

• What are the signs of alcohol or drug dependency?
• How can I manage my drinking habits while at 
  university?
• What are the risks of mixing alcohol with drugs?
• How do I know if my recreational drug use is 
  becoming harmful?
• What should I do if a friend is struggling with drug or 
  alcohol use?
• Can I talk to someone on campus, confidentially 
  about my substance use?

  taking drugs?
