Counseling Center: Drug & Alcohol Education
Worried about your substance use?
You can schedule an appointment with the RMU Counseling Center to discuss your substance use and get referrals for substance abuse assessment/treatment, if recommended. Please note that the RMU Counseling Center does not provide treatment for substance abuse, as it is outside of our Scope of Practice.
