About the Program
The University of Alabama at Birmingham’s Collegiate Recovery Community is housed within the Student Counseling Services department in the Division of Student Affairs. The UAB Collegiate Recovery Community maintains a dedicated space on campus, including offices, a quiet room for study and meditation, a common area for student members to meet and socialize, and a large conference room which also serves as a classroom and space for on-site recovery meetings. The CRC is a relatively small program, staffed by a full-time Assistant Director and two AmeriCorps VISTAs, positions which have typically been filled by recent UAB graduates or current students. The CRC offers robust peer support for students with substance use concerns in the form of drop-in office hours, open community meetings, All-Recovery Meetings, and regular on-campus outreach programming. Membership is offered to those students who have made a commitment to improving their relationship to substance use and participating in recovery supports, including the creation, with the Assistant Director, of a personalized recovery plan. CRC meetings and events are open to all UAB students; those who are approved for membership are granted 24/7 access to the CRC space via their student ID cards.
