Welcome to the Rowan University Center for Addiction Studies & Awareness!

The Rowan University Center for Addiction Studies has now become the Center for Addiction Studies & Awareness. We are excited to now be a part of the Division of Student Affairs and look forward to working more closely with students and the University!

The Center prides itself on serving the Rowan Community. Students are encouraged to contact us if they feel they have a problem with substance use. Available treatment includes:

• Intakes/Assessments
• Individual Counseling
• Relapse Prevention
• Saturday Educational Classes

The Center is involved in many activities on the Rowan campus. These initiatives include:

• Twelve Step meetings are held on campus weekly. These meetings are designed for individuals who want to overcome their problems with alcohol, other drugs, or for concerns not related to drugs or alcohol.
• HERO Campaign, which encourages students to have a designated driver and establishments where alcohol is served to offer free soft drinks to the driver.
• Creation and dissemination of educational resources on substance use and other prevention activities
• Campus alcohol prevention activities
• The New Jersey Department of Education Social Norms Project. This project uses the social norms approach to reduce substance use in several New Jersey high schools and bullying in New Jersey middle schools

The Center for Addiction Studies & Awareness is continuing to serve as the host institution for the New Jersey Higher Education Consortium (NJHEC). Founded in 1987, the NJHEC has grown from an original group of 16 colleges into a network involving over 40 colleges and universities. The Consortium administers statewide prevention projects to address alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use and abuse.
