¾«¶«´«Ã½ (SoLAcc) has launched its Collegiate Recovery Program (CRP), a transformative, non-clinical initiative designed to support students and faculty navigating recovery from substance use disorders. The program provides a safe, anonymous space and access to peer-to-peer support that centers community, connection, and healing.
“The Collegiate Recovery Program reflects SoLAcc’s ongoing commitment to student wellness,” said Dr. Damian Glover, Executive Director for Student Services. “It’s not just about recovery—it's about hope and ensuring every student has what they need to succeed academically and personally.”
Designed as a peer-driven program, CRP offers academic support, sober events, campus socials, and recovery resources such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon meetings. SoLAcc’s recent membership in the Association of Recovery in Higher Education (ARHE) further aligns the program with national best practices in supporting students in recovery.
“Our vision is a thriving sober community right here at SoLAcc,” said Celeste Breaux, Coordinator for Recovery Services, Education and Prevention Initiative. “We’re here for anyone—students, faculty, even those just sober-curious. Recovery shouldn’t be stigmatized; it should be celebrated. Our campus culture is the foundation for this success.”
With an eye toward growth, CRP envisions partnerships with internal and external stakeholders, including faculty from nursing and counseling programs, student support services, and local community organizations. By fostering this network of care, SoLAcc is not only supporting individual recovery journeys, but also helping to shift regional perceptions around substance use, mental health, and wellness.
The Collegiate Recovery Program is more than a student service—it’s a movement toward a healthier, more compassionate academic community. If you’re curious about the Collegiate Recovery Program and want to learn more, visit /collegiaterecovery or call 337-521-9663.
