Towson University's Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug (ATOD) Prevention Center strives to create an environment conducive to academic success and wellness.
Towson University’s Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug (ATOD) Prevention Center strives to create a campus community which encourages responsible decisions related to substance use, in pursuit of the University’s academic mission. Through the infusion of harm reduction and strength-based approaches we create strategies and interventions to help students navigate the complex situations in which substance use occurs. By utilizing a comprehensive approach including, peer-education, multi-level prevention programming, and supportive resources, we empower students to make informed decisions related to substance use.
The ATOD Prevention Center is proud to sponsor and mentor Tigers in Recovery: A collegiate recovery program. This program is designed to support TU students that are in or seeking recovery from substance abuse disorders.
This semester we are offering a support group for students who want to take a break from or reduce their use of marijuana. This group is a great space for students who are thinking about cutting back but are not sure how to start, want to take a brief or extended tolerance break, or have already begun to cut back and are looking for support along the way. Take a T Break meets weekly on Mondays at 11am in the Counseling Center.
