1 Drug Free Schools and Communities Act The Drug Free Schools and Communities Act amendments of 1989 require that as a condition of receiving funds, or any other form of financial assistance under any federal program, the University of Alaska Southeast must certify that it has adopted and implemented a program to prevent the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees. The University of Alaska Southeast presents the following for your information. Health Risks Associated With Substance Abuse Quoted from page 62 of What Works: Schools Without Drugs published by the US Department of Education. Alcohol Alcohol consumption causes a number of marked changes in behavior. Even low doses significantly impair the judgment and coordination required to drive a car safely, increasing the likelihood that the driver will be involved in an accident. Low to moderate doses of alcohol also increase the incidence of a variety of aggressive acts, including spouse and child abuse. Drug & Alcohol Counseling and Treatment Students The University offers numerous health education seminars, workshops, and events, and students are encouraged to participate. Additionally, personal counseling is available on some campuses. At this time however, only the Juneau campus provides an on-site health and counseling center. An optional student health insurance program contains benefits for some inpatient and outpatient substance abuse treatment. Call the Student Resource Center at for more information. experiencing substance abuse-related issues are strongly encouraged to seek counseling services.
