For students on road to recovery, college program offers a safe place away from parties Rutgers University has offered a recovery housing program since 1988, long before many other colleges adopted their own programs. It serves as a model for others schools looking to create similar programs.

The Collegiate Recovery Coalition of Philadelphia is forgoing the May monthly meeting in favor of a fundraising workshop. There is no meeting tonight!!

The Fundraising for Collegiate Recovery Workshop will be led by Andrew Burki of Life of Purpose. This event is for anyone looking to start or develop fundraising efforts for a recovery program at the school in which they have an affiliation. The Workshop will be the beginning of a larger working group, culminating with a large fundraising summit in the Fall.

At 6pm, before the the workshop, there is a Dragons for Recovery meeting in the same room. Students and other people in recovery attending the workshop are encouraged to attend. The workshop will begin directly after at 7pm.

We are humbled and extremely grateful to be nominated for New Student Organization of the Year!

Collegiate recovery is alive and thriving! :-)

Finding recovery in college “I found out recovery was cool. It’s something people don’t talk about a lot. For me, the fact that being in recovery could be cool was important to me.”

Test out your knowledge on the drug overdose epidemic. We are so grateful to be on this side of the fence; recovery is possible!!

You Draw It: Just How Bad Is the Drug Overdose Epidemic? An interactive quiz provides deeper context to the opioid epidemic by asking readers to draw the trends in deaths from guns, the H.I.V. epidemic, car accidents and drug overdoses.

We love seeing recovery working on other campuses!

A Bridge to Recovery on Campus College can be harrowing for students struggling to stay clean. Special dorms offer support, and a safe haven.
