New England School of Addiction and Prevention Studies

The New England School of Addiction and Prevention Studies, commonly called Summer School, is an intensive 5-day learning experience to further knowledge, skills, and experience in the field of substance use disorder services. For over 55 years, participants from many disciplines have come together to form a unique, diverse learning community.


This year we will be temporarily returning to a virtual-only format due to an unexpected capital improvement project at our usual in person site.


2025 Theme: Sustaining Connections

  • Select from many intensive courses from across the continuum of treatment, prevention, and recovery.
  • Virtual courses take place live by videoconference, allowing for course group work and interaction.
  • In addition to courses, enjoy plenary sessions, community, and more!
  • Options are available to attend the full program or any number of days.
  • Earn 26 Contact Hours during the week.

Courses are designed for the extensive demands of today's professionals and organizations:

  • Certification, licensing, and re-credentialing;
  • Effective strategies supported by research;
  • Behavioral healthcare and primary care integration;
  • Recovery-oriented care across the continuum;
  • Addressing the opioid crisis, stimulants, and other current drug trends;
  • And many other current and emerging topics!

New England summer programs have been developed to respond to specific needs in our regional workforce. Participants may attend offerings specifically for treatment, prevention, or recovery support, or select courses of interest to all.

The Summer School provides wonderful combined learning opportunities for participants working in different areas of the behavioral health services continuum. Please join us for new knowledge, skills, virtual networking, and continuing education contact hours in June!
