(CRP) - defined by the Association
of Recovery in Higher Education
(ARHE) website as "a College or
University-provided, supportive
environment within the campus
culture that reinforces the decision
to engage in a lifestyle of recovery
from substance use" - take a variety
of forms. Offerings range from
a designated drop-in center to
counseling services. In collaboration
with the institution's housing
department, some programs also
feature a residential component:
recovery housing.
Recovery housing is a more
intentional and purposeful version
of substance-free housing, where
students who live on a particular floor
or in a particular building pledge not
to use drugs or alcohol, and is affiliated
with an institution's CRP, where staff
help students build the skills needed
to maintain their sobriety and be
successful in college. Policies may
differ from campus to campus, but
generally in order to live in recovery
housing a student must actively be
in recovery for a drug or alcohol
addiction. Participants must have been
sober for a specific number of months
prior to moving into the housing
program. Substance-free events are
often a part of recovery housing along
with counseling appointments and
weekly support meetings such as
Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics
Anonymous.
Recovery housing typically serves a
small number of students on campus,
about 4-18 in any given year. For
housing and residence life programs,
this means that students have access
to a support system and network of
referrals outside of the standard hall
director and resident advisor model.
Counselors and addiction specialists
are available to help students, which

has been profiled in a number of
outlets including Politico magazine
where Chris Freeman, who supervises
the CRP at The College of New Jersey,
noted, "Historically, if a student
relapsed, they didn't have anybody
that they could reach out to talk about
what happened. Now, if a student is
struggling, very often we can prevent
them from relapsing. If they do
relapse, we can get them back where
they want to be."

removes the pressure from residence
life professionals.
The Lion's House at The College
of New Jersey in Ewing, one of the
first recovery houses in the United
States, is described on the college's
website as a place where residents are
"expected to be committed to recovery,
active members within the collegiate
recovery community, and maintain
recovery sustaining activities." As
opioid abuse has grown, the program

The Collegiate Recovery House
at Case Western Reserve University
in Cleveland, Ohio, is another
longstanding program. The program's
website explains how it provides
residents "social support and
fellowship with other students who
are in recovery; referrals to specialized
services such as individual counseling,
tutoring and financial aid; weekly
family-style meal; ongoing clinical
support and case management . . .
[and] a safe, supportive environment
conducive to recovery." Because of its
central location in the city's University
Circle district, the recovery house
admits Case Western students as well
as those from nearby Cleveland Clinic
Lerner College of Medicine, Cleveland
Institute of Art, Cleveland Institute of
Music, and the Kent State University
College of Podiatric Medicine.
Thaddeus Rybka, a recovery
community program coordinator at St.
Cloud State University in Minnesota,
explains how his campus's CRP
collaborates with the admissions office
as well as an academic advisor who
has received ally training specifically
designed by Rybka to support students
in recovery. He has also worked to
expand accessibility, ensuring that
recovery housing is open year-round
and that full-time students may enter
the program and housing at any time
during the year with a successful
