About the Program

Recovery for Redbirds is a sponsored student organization that offers peer-based support. Recovery for Redbirds is for students who are in or have an interest in recovery from substance use disorders and/or behavioral addictions, as well as allies. This group is available for students from local colleges/universities, as well as young adults in the community. There is a weekly all-recovery group on campus, as well as an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. Many AA and other self-help groups also surround campus. Recovery coaching is available. There are bi-weekly sober social events. Staffing consists of a part-time coordinator and a part-time graduate assistant. The group is small in membership size.

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.
