About the Program

The Bruce E. Donovan ’59 Dean of Chemical Dependency was created in 1977 and is housed in the Dean of the College Office. Shannon O’Neill, Assistant Dean of the College for Junior/Senior Studies and Chemical Dependency, is currently serving in this role. Dean O’Neill hosts Early Sobriety at Brown (ESOB), a small group of students committed to abstinence, who meet weekly to provide peer, academic and social support. Interested students should contact Dean O’Neill (shannon_oneill1@brown.edu) to see if they are a good fit for the group. There are also a number of 12-step groups that host meetings on campus or a few blocks from campus, that are attended by students. Brown provides designated substance-free housing for those who request it.

A Collegiate Recovery Program (CRP) is a college or university-provided program that includes a supportive environment within the campus culture. CRPs reinforce the decision to engage in a lifestyle of recovery from addiction/substance use disorder. It is designed to provide an educational opportunity alongside recovery supports to ensure that students do not have to sacrifice one for the other.

The ARHE Website is currently undergoing updates. While we anticipate minimal disruption, please email mack@collegiaterecovery.org if you experience any issues with the website and we apologize for any inconvenience.
