Abstract: Students with addiction or substance use disorders (SUDs) encounter complex obstacles on campus, jeopardizing their academic success and overall health. Collegiate recovery programs (CRPs) include designated college spaces and recovery-specific staff and services, and research shows that CRPs retain recovering students by decreasing their relapse rates while increasing their grade point averages and graduation rates. Within college communities, collaboration is needed between university administrators, faculty, and staff in housing, student conduct, wellness, and disability-specific departments to support CRPs. This article explores the benefits of CRPs in offering programming to provide recovering students with a fighting chance to accomplish their educational goals and strengthen their recovery.
