Harm Reduction
Harm Reduction focuses on decreasing the risk and severity of harmful consequences arising from the use of alcohol and other drugs without necessarily decreasing the level of use. The Center provides resources and consultation (e.g., syringe service programs, recovery community organizations, treatment organizations, prevention professionals) to support the use of approaches that reduce negative physical, emotional, and social consequences.
Treatment
Treatment for alcohol and other drugs includes an array of services depending on the diagnosis and needs of a person including outpatient counseling, intensive outpatient services, partial hospitalization, residential services as well as medication. The Center provides training and technical assistance (e.g., treatment organizations, independent clinicians, policy makers) to support the implementation of best practices.
Early Intervention
Early Intervention is a form of prevention that focuses on individuals at high risk of developing problematic substance use. Early intervention strategies are often employed when minimal but detectable signs of substance misuse are present to prevent escalation of the problem behavior.
