Drug and Alcohol Use Treatment

When a student is charged with a second Code 105B or 106B violation, or first Code 105A or 106A violation, the student is referred for a substance use assessment (see Code of Student Conduct Handbook for details about code violations).

The Student Counseling Service (SCS) works in conjunction with the Office of Community Standards to provide these assessments to full-time Miami University students. The recommendations resulting from the substance use assessment are strictly confidential and not a part of the student's academic record. Students should plan to spend 60-90 minutes to complete the assessment. There is a $250 charge for the substance use assessment; the charge will appear on the student’s bursar account. Alcohol/drug assessments do not have to be completed at SCS.

Students may contact SCS at 513-529-4634 to schedule a substance use assessment or to get a list of private community practitioners and drug and alcohol treatment facilities. 

Once an appointment is made, the student is expected to attend. Students who do not come to the appointment, will be charged a $25 no-show fee. They will not be permitted to reschedule their appointment with SCS and must instead schedule their substance use assessment with a private community provider or drug and alcohol treatment facility.
