Our Mission

To provide an online recovery community grounded in equity, justice that promotes the self-determination of  post-secondary school students in/seeking recovery. 

Our Vision

To reduce health and academic disparities and increase the successful matriculation of students in recovery that attend minority serving institutions, community colleges and trade schools that do not offer collegiate recovery programs.

Our Story

Our Purpose:

Students with a history of Substance Use Disorder have been a particularly vulnerable population that has been chronically underserved on college campuses despite being eligible for accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Students Recover is dedicated to attending to the needs of systematically excluded students within higher education by providing access to culturally relevant recovery support services in what is known to be a “recovery hostile” environment.  Collegiate recovery communities (CRC) have historically been located within institutions of higher education and access to CRC support is limited to the attendees of these colleges and universities.   Students Recover is dedicated to centering the needs of students attending the institutions that are least likely to offer collegiate recovery programs, specifically minority serving institutions (including tribal colleges and historically Black colleges/universities), community colleges and trade schools. Thus, Students Recover will provide the recovery, social and academic support necessary to help students thrive in their educational journey.
