How Do I Get Help for a Drinking/drug Problem at College?

Question by HeyTherePony: How do I get help for a drinking/drug problem at college?
I was prescribed Ambien for insomnia about six months ago. I have overdosed on it twice now. I would often take it to get high rather than to be able to sleep (but I needed it to be able to sleep). I have been off of those for a week now, only because I used up all my pills. If I wouldn’t have run out of pills, I don’t think I would’ve been able to stop taking them, and it would’ve gotten worse (it was already pretty bad).
I’ve also noticed that I get excited to go out and drink with my friends, and I often overdrink. I’ll be drunk and still want to drink more. I then put myself in dangerous situations (walk home by myself, leave with guys I just met, etc). I don’t even like the taste of alcohol, I just like being drunk.
I’m not sure how to get help for this, if I need it. I don’t want to completely give up alcohol. It’s college and I like to have just a little bit of a buzz to go out and talk to people and dance and stuff. So I’m not sure what to do.
