Expand Recovery Schools & Collegiate Recovery Programs

Return to Opioid Top-Level Strategy Mapor Zoom Map (Improve Treatment & Enable Recovery for People with SUDs)

Background

• Substance-Free/Recovery Housing: a recovery house available on campus that offers substance-free activities for students recovering from drug or alcohol abuse.
  • Rutgers University, the state university of New Jersey, was the first to design this style of college housing.
  • While living in this type of housing, students must attend at least two 12-step meetings a week and meet with recovery center counselors.
  • New Jersey signed a law that requires all state colleges and universities in the state to offer sober housing if at least a quarter of the students live on campus.

 

A.R.H.E.

The Association of Recovery in Higher Education is the only association exclusively representing collegiate recovery programs and communities, the faculty and staff who support them, and the students who represent them.
