The ACTT Program is a specialized program dedicated to the prevention, remediation and treatment of problems associated with the illegal or harmful use of alcohol and/or other drugs.  Clemson University does not condone underage student drinking but acknowledges that it exists and that it varies both in college campuses across the country and from student to student.  The ACTT Program takes individual differences into account from the perspective of assisting the Clemson University student to make responsible choices.  It validates the students' right to choose and gain maturity while facing the positive or negative consequences of these choices.

The ACTT Program emphasizes early identification of possible struggle.  Students can enter the program voluntarily or by being referred by a caring other or a judicial body.  The ACTT Program offers students a clinical assessment including relevant questionnaires that, with student input, may generate recommendations for follow-up care.  By honoring the student's right to choose, follow-through with the recommendation will be up to the student (except under rare circumstances which may involve imminent danger to self or others).  In essence, the ACTT Program is a resource that equips students to understand oneself, understand risk factors and gain valuable education for responsible decision-making.  Regardless of the student's choice, he/she is expected to adhere to the students' code of conduct, state and federal law and act in a manner that brings honor to him/herself, family and Clemson University.  The CAPS staff are committed to enhancing the academic, social and personal success of every Clemson University student.
