In service prevention, intervention, strategic planning, and community risk reduction workshops are available to schools, court staff, law enforcement, and community leaders who wish to address the issue of underage drinking.

The University of Oregon SAPP Area of Concentration Certificate can be earned upon completion of 24 credits in the substance abuse curriculum offered by SAPP. Earning the Area of Concentration shows future employers that you have taken a concentrated core of substance abuse curriculum.

A collaborative effort between the Substance Abuse Prevention Program, the College of Education and the department of Continuing Education, (Summer Session link below), provides students and professionals with opportunities to meet their academic and career goals. Fields of study or licensure programs are developed to afford a unique learning environment for professional growth and development.

Individuals interested in working with substance abuse and related issues will discover a "cutting edge" philosophy focusing on evidence-based practice.

SAPP's newest educational track is for the Certified Prevention Specialist (CPS). A professional with this certification is recognized as having the best education in leading strategies and programs to reduce alcohol, tobacco and other drug use thereby encouraging a healthier individual and community. To successfully apply a prevention program takes the combined efforts of a Certified Prevention Specialist coordinating with families, schools, and diverse community programs.
