About the Program
Mission Statement
At Redefine Recovery, we are dedicated to fostering a collegiate environment at UAlbany that is inclusive, non-judgmental, and supportive of individuals along the addiction-recovery spectrum. Our mission is to advocate for and create a campus culture that embraces the journey of recovery as a vital part of student life.
We are committed to hosting educational events and training that promote awareness and understanding of addiction and recovery. Through peer-led support groups, we provide a safe space for students to connect, share experiences, and find solidarity in their journey through college.
Central to our mission is the de-stigmatization of addiction, harm reduction, and recovery. We strive to challenge stereotypes and misconceptions, promoting acceptance and compassion for those struggling with substances, gambling, and other behavioral habits/addictions. We recognize that sustained, long-term recovery is possible for those who want it, but that recovery is not one size fits all. Among our leaders are students who exemplify this journey.
At Redefine Recovery, we advocate for harm reduction practices and emphasize the importance of creating a safer campus environment for all students.
We aim to thoughtfully examine campus policies and practices through a recovery-informed lens, promoting awareness, compassion, and inclusivity in support of diverse pathways to recovery.
Together, we redefine recovery as a journey of hope, resilience, and empowerment, and we are committed to supporting every student on their path towards learning, healing, and fulfillment.
