The BASICS Program is in its second year and flourishing. It is an educational program to provide a one on one experience through two sessions with the alcohol counselor/educator to provide individual information and guidance to students referred for alcohol use as a minor or abusive drinking. The goal of the program is to provide each student participant with tools to make choices to reduce binge drinking and to assist the student in setting healthy goals for reducing abusive and/or underage drinking.
The ACT Program begins its second year and offered a successful option for education and assessment of individual student needs in the area of alcohol abuse and/or illegal drug abuse. Students are referred to the ACT program for a second alcohol violation for underage drinking, for a first serious alcohol abuse incident involving a health risk; and for a first illegal drug violation or arrest. The ACT program is a four week workshop during which the student will be drug tested (illegal drug referral) or breathalyzed (alcohol referral) and will complete a private assessment with an alcohol and other drug counselor.
The OnTRAC Program is in its third year and now provides the third tier of intervention for students who are referred to the Office of Student Conduct for a third alcohol violation or Mnor In Possession by Consumption citation or a serious alcohol abuse incident, or for a second violation involving possession or use of illegal drugs. It is a sixteen to twenty week program that models itself after successful drug court programs, with the added dimension of focusing on university students and on providing an intensive treratment program while remaining enrolled as a student.
For more information on one or all three programs, please contact the Office of Student Conduct faculty: Sally Morgan and Carol Millie, who work with a staff of professional counselors, case managers, and graduate interns to provide these three intervention programs to Univesity of Nevada Students.
