Center for the Application of Substance Abuse Technologies (CASAT)

Since 1993, CASAT has provided culturally appropriate, state-of-the-art, research-based training and technology transfer activities, academic courses, and managed large multi-state, multi-organizational projects. As a Center within the School of Public Health at the University of Nevada, Reno, CASAT’s primary mission is to help states, organizations, students, and the existing workforce apply research-based practices to improve prevention, treatment, and recovery services for individuals with addictive behaviors. This mission is achieved through university-based coursework; clearinghouses and libraries; continuing education workshops; product development and dissemination; conferences; and consultation and technical assistance activities.
