About the Program

The Washington University (WashU) Recovery Community is housed within the Student Health Center- Health Promotion Services and is specifically support by the full-time, Alcohol and Other Drugs Health Promotion Specialist. The Community is considered small-sized currently and actively growing. The Community has a separate, private, 24/7 dedicated space for students to meet both formally and informally. The space is furnished with a meeting table, lounge furniture, television, microwave, mini-fridge, books, a piano, yoga mats, a paint station, games, snacks, and more. This space is the location of weekly group meetings and substance-free, social activities. The WashU Recovery Community is a resource that students can add to their support system while attending the university. The Community is open to any undergraduate or graduate students currently in recovery from substance use or any student who is interested in recovery/abstinence. Attendance is not mandatory for the weekly meetings but strongly encouraged to help build relationships and establish strong support systems on campus. Students can join at any point during the academic year. Students interested in learning more or joining are asked to email recovery@wustl.edu.

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.
