WHAT IS SEAR?
The Substance Education, Assessment & Recovery (SEAR) Program provides direct individual and group interventions to university students with alcohol, cannabis, and other substance-related concerns.
SEAR offers a variety of research-based prevention, early intervention, and recovery support services and programs. SEAR frequently partners with campus groups to promote a learning environment that supports healthy behavior choices, as well as raise awareness about the risks associated with alcohol abuse and illicit drug use.
The University of Arkansas encourages all members of the campus community to familiarize themselves with the annual Alcohol and Other Drug Policy.

Stay RazorSharp
When Arkansas Razorbacks remember to Stay RazorSharp it means you're making smart, safe decisions, looking out for your friends and being aware of your surroundings. It’s a S.T.A.R. mindset of:
- Staying safe
- Taking care of yourself
- Addressing social norm misconceptions
- Reducing stigmas
When you Stay RazorSharp you can create a space to make change happen whether your sober, sober curious or just safety minded.
By Staying RazorSharp, it’s also a reminder to be vigilant when it comes to stimulants and opioids. Pay close attention to food and drink to ensure it's not tampered with. Many drugs are often colorless, odorless and tasteless—which makes them difficult to detect.
And, you can Stay RazorSharp by knowing where to find resources before you need them such as the Med Kwik vending machine, located inside the Pat Walker Health Center, on the corner of Garland and Maple avenues.
The vending machine gives you access to free NARCAN, an over-the-counter opioid reversal nasal spray medication, and fentanyl harm prevention kits. Learn more about the Med Kwik vending machine here.
