Students who are referred for an Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) Assessment or who refer themselves for this service can contact the Counseling Center's Alcohol and Other Drug Program at 217-333-7557. In addition, when some students have an initial appointment at the Counseling Center, they may be encouraged to participate in a formal AOD assessesment. There, they can discuss their unique situations with a specialist and determine together what recommendations are appropriate. This process is strictly confidential.
