Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs

Treatment and Recovery

The University recognizes alcohol and other drug dependency as treatable conditions and offers educational and counseling assistance and/or referrals to employees and students to aid them in dealing with problems associated with substance abuse.

All faculty, staff and students are encouraged to be proactive in their response to perceived alcohol abuse or drug dependency by initiating discussions with individuals whose behavior is not in accordance with the Cal Poly Pomona Alcohol and Other Drugs Policy. In situations where a member of the campus community is uncomfortable approaching an individual perceived to have a problem with alcohol/drug abuse, Human Resources, Judicial Affairs, the University Ombuds Office or University Police are appropriate resources for assistance.
