CAMPUS GRUG PREVENTING
With classes resuming at colleges and universities, the Drug Enforcement Administration is imploring students and administrators to be wary of counterfeit pills that may contain fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid that can be deadly in even small amounts.
The Alcohol and Drug (AOD) Prevention Program at Northeast Community College utilizes a comprehensive approach to address alcohol and other drug-related problems. We encourage the college community to join with us through task forces and coalitions to employ multiple strategies including:
- providing education
- banning alcohol and alcohol advertisement on campus
- changing the normative environment
- promoting alcohol-free social options
- developing alcohol policies and increasing the consistency of enforcement
- reducing the marketing of alcohol
- conducting early intervention
- providing treatment referrals
In order to be effective in our approach we value the following key components of effective prevention: assessment and evaluation, strategic planning, media advocacy and publicity of efforts, senior administrative support, student involvement, and building relationships with key stakeholders.
