The article is devoted to the analysis of modern educational environment as potential resource to increase the effectiveness of biofeedback in order to prevent drug abuse among students. Substantiated educational environment is an approach to understand such biofeedback effectiveness. Biofeedback efficiency depends on the rate of return and the quality of information about the biological system. The advantages of biofeedback in comparison with other methods of self-regulation are discussed. The phases of biofeedback process are described as interconnected components of a single process that has become possible due to the hardware and software of educational environment. The features of different biofeedback instruments and psychophysiological specific training conditions are considered. The research allows to determine the effectiveness of work by biofeedback among teenagers. The results of forming experiment have statistically revealed a significant increase in the level of adolescent’s self-control in the experimental group after the classes using biofeedback. Change of the attitude to drugs occurred only in the experimental group of adolescents who participated in the forming experiment. The study received practical confirmation of the idea that the state of psychophysiological mechanisms with individual involvement in substance use can be objectively evaluated and managed by psychophysiological training aimed at improvement of self regulation effectiveness.
