Automate collegiate recovery programs to serve more students
Collegiate recovery programs support students in recovery by helping them maintain a balance in their academic, work and social life creating a wellness strategy that sustains long-term recovery.
What is a collegiate recovery program?
From the Association for Recovery in Higher Education, "A collegiate recovery program (CRP) is a College or University-provided, supportive environment within the campus culture that reinforces the decision to engage in a lifestyle of recovery from substance use. It is designed to provide an educational opportunity alongside recovery support to ensure that students do not have to sacrifice one for the other."

What are the benefits of the program?
Students in collegiate recovery programs instantly connect to a community of other students that are dedicated to a lifestyle of abstinence from drugs and alcohol, a commitment to education, and a focus on post-college careers. Participants receive preferred class schedules, coaches and counseling, educational opportunities regarding recovery, and social events. Colleges report that students in recovery programs on average have a higher GPA and graduation rate.
What is the cost and how are programs funded?
Students do not pay to participate in collegiate recovery programs, so it is vital that the program receives funding from other sources. Generally, support comes from the college, sponsors, and donors who fund program costs such as staffing, events, and support activities.
