About the Program

The Sacred Heart Collegiate Recovery Program was established in the Spring of 2019 and will begin operation in the Fall of 2019. Our Collegiate Recovery Program is located in our main academic building which allows us to show our full campus support of a program that is about abstinence-based recovery. We offer a safe-space lounge facility, 12-step meetings on campus, a recovery staff, as well as much more. Our program can currently be described as small, however, we plan on increasing in size as we continue to build. In order to be a part of our program students need to have a desire to stop using drugs or alcohol. We welcome all Sacred Heart students to become involved in our program if they wish to try an abstinence-based lifestyle. Sacred Heart University will now offer housing for students in the Collegiate Recovery Program starting in the fall of 2021. The Recovery House offers the opportunity for students to have designated housing that will give them the best chance at maintaining sobriety and receiving a great education. This environment will provide a space for fellowship and hope along the road to sobriety

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.
