Collegiate Recovery Program

What is the Collegiate Recovery Program?

Our Collegiate Recovery Program (CRP) is an institutionally sanctioned and supported program for students in recovery from substance use disorder and addictive behaviors seeking a degree in higher education. It is a structured, healthy community where recovering students can thrive academically and socially while actively pursuing their recovery. The CRP provides students an opportunity to bond together in an alcohol-free and drug-free environment.

Our Collegiate Recovery Program Mission Statement

The Collegiate Recovery Program at College of Charleston provides a safe and nurturing student-focused community in which students in recovery from substance and/or addictive disorders can be empowered in furthering their academic, professional and personal potential to become healthy, responsible, productive members of society.

Our CRP aims to help our sober students stay substance-free through peer-to-peer support, group support and through connection to the local recovering community. 

Our Goals

  • Make connections with other recovering students
  • Be involved in fun, sober events on- and off-campus

  • Create opportunities to be of service to each other and potential students
  • Make connections to resources for academic wellness and support
