Health Risks Associated with Alcohol and Drug Abuse

Alcohol

Alcohol consumption impairs judgment and coordination, and excessive use may lead to
long-term health complications. Alcohol is particularly dangerous for pregnant individuals.

Marijuana

Marijuana contains THC, which affects memory, perception, motivation, and coordination.
Marijuana smoke contains carcinogens similar to or greater than tobacco smoke.

Cocaine / Crack

Cocaine and crack are highly addictive stimulants that may cause heart attacks, strokes,
seizures, paranoia, psychosis, and long-term neurological damage.

Methamphetamine / Amphetamines

Methamphetamines are powerful stimulants that may cause extreme dependency, severe mood
disturbances, cardiovascular failure, and sudden death.

Narcotics

Narcotics such as heroin, methadone, oxycodone, and morphine may cause respiratory depression,
coma, or death. Long-term use leads to rapid tolerance and dependence.

Ecstasy (MDMA)

Ecstasy can cause nausea, anxiety, depression, paranoia, and irreversible brain damage.
Even a single dose may result in serious neurochemical harm.

GHB / Rohypnol

Often referred to as “date rape” drugs, GHB and Rohypnol are dangerous depressants that may
cause unconsciousness, respiratory failure, coma, or death, especially when combined with alcohol.

Inhalants

Inhalants include common household chemicals that may cause respiratory failure,
permanent brain damage, or sudden sniffing death (SSD), even upon first use.

Steroids

Anabolic steroids may cause liver damage, cardiovascular disease, reproductive disorders,
and severe psychological effects including aggression and depression.

Drug and Alcohol Programs

Students seeking assistance with substance abuse treatment should contact their Campus Director
or designated campus official for information on local treatment resources.
