HOW INSTITUTIONS CAN ADDRESS SUBSTANCE MISUSE & STRENGTHEN PREVENTION

With evolving substance use trends—including prescription misuse, polysubstance use, and the rise of fentanyl—institutions face increasing pressure to respond effectively. This whitepaper outlines what campuses need to know about drug misuse, and how Other Drugs, our evidence-based course, helps drive more effective, behavior-focused prevention.

SEE HOW YOUR INSTITUTION CAN ADDRESS DRUG MISUSE

Take the course for yourself and see exactly how it helps your institution reduce substance misuse and strengthen prevention without adding more to your plate.

Meeting the challenge of student drug misuse can feel overwhelming—especially with limited time, resources, and visibility into student behavior.

Many institutions offer education around substance use, but students still underestimate risks and continue unsafe behaviors, particularly with prescription drugs.

3rd Millennium Classrooms developed Other Drugs, an evidence-based course designed to help institutions address illicit and prescription drug misuse while driving real, behavior-focused prevention.
