The Substance Abuse Prevention Program

The Substance Abuse Prevention Program (SAPP) provides academic course work in the areas of alcohol and drug prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery. SAPP faculty also work professionally in the field providing them with updated, applicable course content and real world experience.

Students, professionals, and community members may take SAPP courses to broaden their knowledge base, earn college credit, and complete a SAPP Area of Concentration Certification. Through collaboration with the Addiction Counselor Certification Board of Oregon, SAPP offers the coursework required to pursue the state Certified Prevention Specialist and the state Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor.

SAPP works with community partners to offer a variety of practicum placement sites where students can gain the experience and skills to prepare them to enter the field.
