About the Program

Wake Forest University’s Deacs in Recovery Community was founded in 2018 in Winston Salem, North Carolina. We are located within the Division of Campus Life, and more specifically within the Office of Wellbeing which supports us in our foundation and message that recovery is a model of wellness. We currently have a lounge group space within the Wellbeing Center. We currently have one full-time Assistant Director staff overseeing the entire prevention & recovery portfolio areas altogether. However, we additionally have both one part time undergraduate & graduate student whose duties are assisting in CRC activities and programming. Our recovery community is currently in the process of being recultivated, categorized as developing membership status and considered a small program. Generally, weekly recovery meetings & planned activities for students consist of opportunities for student to engage in with each other aside from general hangouts in the lounge. Because they are considered a student org, membership is attained through an application process. Basic participation includes our hang-out time & lunches. Students who are curious about recovery are encouraged to participate in events and programs and encouraged to explore recovery with us. There is a clear pathway to full membership for those who are not yet in stable recovery and opportunities for engagement for students who are new to recovery.

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.
