Balancing Alcohol and Substances to Improve College Success (BASICS)
✔ Confidential
✔ No judgment
- BASICS is an individual, confidential conversation (usually 2 sessions) with a member of
the Alcohol and Drug Education staff.
- The conversation includes: typical alcohol/cannabis/drug use, information about alcohol/other
drugs, self-evaluation of use, how your use compares to other students.
- BASICS will help you evaluate alcohol/cannabis/drug use in relation to life goals,
health, and safety.
- BASICS is open to any student who wants to discuss alcohol or drug use, as well as
students referred due to a WCU Conduct sanction*
*BASICS does not fulfill requirements for a DUI evaluation or class.
Comments from Students who have Attended BASICS
- "My Basics instructor helped me out a lot and I think everyone should go through this
training freshman year."
- "The BASICS program was very informative and extremely well structured. I would recommend
it to students even if they received no citation."
- "Helpful to be able to talk about issues in a closed environment. Thanks."
Most people who are successful in quitting tobacco use do these things:
- Decide to Quit
- Set a Date
- Make a Plan to learn new skills and behaviors (why do you smoke, and what will you
do instead?)
- Get Medication and use it correctly (especially if you smoke >10 cigarettes a day
and/or smoke within 30 minutes of waking up in the AM)
We are here to help!
