About the Program

The Center for Collegiate Recovery at UTSA is located in the Recreation Wellness Center and features a dedicated meeting space that is open to students throughout the day. We offer a variety of weekly recovery meetings including 12 step and SMART Recovery, and have a dedicated group of active members. In addition to recovery meetings, we host sober activities, support a student organization, and work with other campus partners to provide education about recovery. There is no formal requirement for membership; however, we encourage regular participation to ensure students get the most out of the CRP. We offer additional support to students in early recovery by matching them with a peer mentor and providing one on one recovery coaching with our licensed staff. We encourage all students who are in recovery or interested in living a sober lifestyle to come to any of our open meetings

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.
