All divisions and sections of the College are included within this program. Alcohol and illicit drugs are toxic substances that affect the mind, body and spirit. Alcohol related problems include deaths from drunk driving, use of violence, and poor judgement in personal relationship situations.
Drug abuse is dangerous and can lead to death.
An overdose can cause psychosis, convulsions, coma and death. Continuous use of drugs can lead to organic damage, mental illness and malnutrition. It increases the risk of AIDS, hepatitis and other diseases related to injectable drugs. We realize that our employees are not immune to the problems associated with drug and alcohol abuse in our society. To help contend with such problems, and to prevent drug or alcohol use that adversely affects job performance and safety, the College has developed a substance abuse policy.
