<br />Health Risks
<br />Abuse of alcohol and use of drugs is harmful to one's physical, mental, and
<br />social well-being. With excessive drug use, life becomes centered on drugs to
<br />the exclusion of health, work, school, family, and general well-being.
<br />Accidents and injuries are more likely to occur if alcohol and drugs are used.
<br />Alcohol and drug users can lose resistance to disease and destroy one's
<br />health. Increasing tolerance developed by the user complicates the effects of
<br />drug use. This tolerance may be psychological, physiological, or both and may
<br />lead to greater danger of overdose.
<br />Alcoholism takes a toll on personal finances, health, social relationships, and
<br />families. Abuse of alcohol or use of drugs may cause an individual driving a
<br />motor vehicle to injure himself or herself or others and may subject the
<br />person to criminal prosecution.
<br />The following summarizes the effects and dangers of the major categories
<br />of drugs:
<br />Amphetamines: Physical dependency, heart problems, infections,
<br />malnutrition, and death may result from continued high doses
<br />of amphetamines.
<br />Narcotics: Chronic use of narcotics can cause lung damage, convulsions,
<br />respiratory paralysis, and death.
<br />Depressants: These drugs, such as tranquilizers and alcohol, can produce
<br />slowed reactions, slowed heart rate, damage to liver and heart, respiratory
<br />arrest, convulsions, and accidental overdoses.
<br />Hallucinogens: These drugs may cause psychosis, convulsions, coma, and
<br />psychological dependency.
<br />Counseling, Treatment, or Rehabilitation
<br />Programs
<br />The administration of Concorde maintains a list of hospital and community
<br />agencies available to assist employees and students seeking alcohol and drug
<br />counseling and treatment.
<br />Employees and students who have a substance -dependency problem are
<br />strongly encouraged to obtain counseling and treatment. Anyone seeking
<br />additional Information about health problems and treatment related to
<br />alcohol and drug problems can contact the Campus President or Human
<br />Resources. Requests for assistance will be held in complete confidentiality
<br />and will be provided on a need -to -know basis only.
<br />Penalties

<br />distribution of a controlled substance, may be suspended from the student's
<br />program of study during the Investigation and may become ineligible for
