Welcome to the Alcohol & Drug Program at UCSB! 

Mission

The UCSB Alcohol & Drug Program strives to create a safe, healthy, and learning-conducive environment through the promotion of healthy choices concerning the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. The program emphasizes the elimination of harmful use, high-risk behavior and related violence.

Appointments

There are two ways to make an appointment with one of our alcohol and drug counselors:
(1) Schedule an appointment online.
(2) Call (805) 893-3371 and speak with the receptionist.
Online appointments can only be made for your initial visit. Follow-up appointments can be made with your counselor directly or over the phone.
