Substance Abuse Prevention Office

The Substance Abuse Prevention Office provides initial screening, education, support, and referral recommendations for full time students, part time students living on campus, and other students at the discretion of the Student Affairs Office or Rider University representatives. There is no cost for this service for the above mentioned eligible population.

Education, confidential screening, and referral recommendations may help in resolving conflicts or confusion in reference to substance use or other addiction issues which interfere with the normal process of daily living.  The office also assists in supporting and advocating for students that are in recovery.
