Alcohol & Other Drugs

The Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) Program FIU promotes a healthy campus environment through education, prevention, and support focused on responsible substance use. The program offers workshops, consultations, and outreach efforts to help students make informed choices about alcohol and drugs. Key initiatives like the Save-A-Life program provide essential resources for overdose prevention. Additionally, the Alcohol and Other Drug Task Force produces timely biennial reports, ensuring accountability and fostering a proactive approach to substance use education at FIU.

Harm Reduction

At FIU, we recognize that students make their own choices when it comes to alcohol and other drugs. Our goal is to provide non-judgmental, evidence-based information to help you make informed decisions, reduce risks, and stay safe.

Whether you choose to use substances or not, harm reduction means:

  • Understanding the effects and risks of different substances
  • Making safer choices to reduce potential harm
  • Looking out for yourself and your friends
  • Knowing where to seek help and support if needed

We are here to support your well-being by offering education, resources, and confidential services to help you stay informed and safe. If you or someone you know needs guidance or assistance, reach out to Rachel Carson, Health Educator III and AOD Coordinator, aod@fiu.edu, (305) 348-4020

Your safety matters. Your choices matter. We’re here to help!
