Substance Use Counseling

  • Have you ever felt you ought to cut down on your drinking or drug use?
  • Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking or drug use?
  • Have you felt bad or guilty about your drinking or drug use?
  • Have you ever had a drink or used drugs first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover (eye-opener)?
These are referred to as screening questions for substance use.  If you answered “yes” to any of them, maybe it’s time to take a closer look at having a more in-depth conversation about substance use for you or a loved one, so let’s chat…
