The Collegiate Recovery Community at UAB was formed back in 2015 and is under the umbrella of Student Health and Wellness.

The CRC offers non-clinical support but has a solid partnership with Student Counseling and the Addiction Recovery Program in the UAB Center for Psychiatric Medicine. The space is open 24/7 to students and offers meditation room, lounge area, meeting room, and kitchen.

During a graduate survey conducted in the CRC, 100% agreed that the CRC had some impact on them graduating when planned and 100% plan to continue their education with an advanced degree.
