Samford University, because of its concern for a holistic Christian approach to education, provides several avenues for students to receive information and help with alcohol and drug-related problems. A student who voluntarily seeks treatment and counseling for a drug/alcohol abuse problem will not be subject to disciplinary sanctions.

Student Health Services is open from 8:00 AM – Noon and 1:00 – 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday (except during the month of July), and is staffed by a physician's assistant and a registered nurse. Drug and alcohol information is available, as well as consultation. Referrals can be made to community resources.

Professional counselors are available for assisting students and are available in the Counseling Center. Because of the caring nature of the faculty and staff, most, if not all, will be eager to assist a student in finding resolutions to a drug/alcohol problem.

Through Foundations, convocation, residence hall programs, Greek Affairs programs and other kinds of educational formats and settings, alcohol and drug-related education programs are offered during the course of the year.
