The campus Center for Substance Abuse Research's web site is now online, offering students self-assessments, drug information and treatment program options. The President's Committee On Drug Abuse Policy came up with the idea for the new site. It was built in such a way that universities across the country can use the system too, by changing it to fit their campus.
Students can enter their city, state and zip code to find a treatment program near home.
Students narrow the search further by entering information such as type of care they need or method of billing. Students can also give comments on campus drug trends on the site, Wish said. The idea of a web site provides those looking to break drug habits with complete privacy, Wish said. Jody Gan, a health educator at the health center, agreed.
