To address the increase in substance use disorders, the Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement, the Office of Addiction Services and Supports, and the Education Department have created the New York State Addiction and Substance Use Disorder Educational Resource flash drive. The flash drive will be offered at no charge to New York State schools as a guide for personal conversations and community forums to help prevent and address substance use among young people.
