      The Substance Abuse Education Institute provides comprehensive training and education to substance abuse providers and the general public. The Institute will be responsible for the development of a variety of credit and non-credit courses, workshops, and symposia intended to address the severe problem of drug and alcohol abuse in northeastern Pennsylvania. The Institute will serve as an area-wide information and education resource center and will work with legislators at the federal, state, and county levels to encourage advanced legislation, model programs, and help establish best practices that will advance job seeking, education, and other useful services for recovering individuals. Coaching, mentoring, and other techniques will be utilized as ways to provide best practices for substance abuse counseling education and training.

      The Institute will assist the Luzerne/Wyoming Counties Drug and Alcohol Program to develop a unified strategy to address and prevent the proliferation of substance abuse. On an annual basis, the Institute will conduct and host the Northeast Pennsylvania School of Alcohol and other Drug Studies, a multi-day seminar designed specifically for professionals in education, prevention, identification, assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of substance abuse and chemical dependency.
