    The Department's mission is consistent with Loyola College's Jesuit and Mercy traditions in seeking to aid undergraduate and graduate students to grow spiritually, emotionally and physically.  Abuse of alcohol and use of other psychoactive substances can seriously impede or block such growth.

    The Strong Truth is that 11% of Loyola students never drink when they socialize, and of the students that do choose to drink, most do so responsibly and in moderation. 

    ADESS offers support services and leadership opportunities to encourage this majority group of students to continue to make safe and healthy personal choices. 

    The Department, therefore, offers programs and services, including education, counseling or treatment, as indicated in three areas:

    • Support for students choosing to drink alcoholic beverages responsibly and for students who choose not to use alcohol or other drugs at all, including those who are in recovery from alcohol or other drug dependence.
    • Support for students who have been, or continue to be, adversely affected by the alcohol or other drug use of persons close to them, such as friends, roommates and family members.
    • Prevention education and harm reduction in the form of campus-wide programming and educational interventions for those involved in the disciplinary system due to alcohol or drug related Code of Conduct violations.
