About the Program

Luzerne County Community College’s AllOne Recovery Educational Institute (AREI) provides innovative and holistic support for students in recovery to achieve their educational and career goals while sustaining their recovery. We are located at our main campus in Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, in the Center for Student Support and Intervention. AREI provides Certified Recovery Specialist (CRS) and Student Facilitator services on-site. Certified Recovery Specialists are instrumental in providing the peer support necessary to foster the success of college students in recovery. The Student Facilitator provides academic and career planning support which keeps students focused on their completion goals. AREI can provide intensive support for students to succeed academically. Some of the services include CRS bi-weekly check ins, development of individualized academic, financial, and personal success plans, and planning and support for an individualized career goal leading to gainful employment. Within the LCCC community, student clubs and student advocacy organizations will support awareness and participate in recovery efforts. We host a yearly, fun filled tie dye event on campus to support Collegiate Recovery Day, group meetings in a dedicated safe space on campus, and summer workshops focused on self-care and mindfulness. We end each academic year with a celebration of student accomplishments

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 under construction as we launch a new membership portal. Please inform mack@collegiaterecovery.org if you experience technical difficulties or need support.
