The latter is particularly true in the case of selling and offering for sale illicit drugs. The College also is undertaking broader efforts to encourage a campus-wide intolerance of substance abuse. There are no simple solutions to the problem of substance abuse, whether among college students or in the general population. Although Wooster has not experienced excessive problems in this area, it is addressing the general concern with a variety of long-term efforts. The primary purpose of this brochure is to summarize Wooster's response to this national concern and to outline the activities, services and resources upon which any student may draw.
Support groups are also available.
Individual evaluations of alcohol and drug use are available. Referrals are made for students needing long-term or more intensive substance abuse treatment. Education is provided on the moderate and responsible use of alcohol and other drugs. Prevention efforts are coordinated by a prevention specialist on staff who focuses specifically on the prevention of alcohol and other drug abuse on campus. The Residential Life Staff is available to students as a first resource in addressing alcohol or other drug problems.
