Resource: Recovery Identity and Supporting Student Development Through Collegiate Recovery Programs

This article describes Collegiate Recovery Programs (CRP), which are designed to support students on campus who self-identify as being in recovery, to maintain the positive changes they have made to their relationship with substances. Historically, CRPs were abstinence-focused and supported students whose recovery pathways resembled more traditional pathways such as 12-step programs. The field has been shifting to include students who are on a path to healthier living and reducing the harms associated with their substance use, but not by abstaining from substance use altogether.
