Returning to campus is an exciting time for students, but it also brings challenges, especially for those in recovery. In this episode of 'Recovery Corner', host Meg sits down with a panel from the University of Denver to talk about the drinking and substance use culture prevalent on college campuses and how schools are stepping up to support students choosing sobriety.
The panel dives into the prevalence of binge drinking, the vulnerability of college students, and the 'red zone' phenomenon—those risky first few weeks of the semester. But it's not all doom and gloom; they also share inspiring stories of how collegiate recovery programs are creating safe havens for students. You'll hear about harm reduction strategies, sober events, and recovery housing that help students maintain their sobriety while pursuing their education.
The discussion also touches on the importance of building a strong recovery community and breaking the stigma surrounding substance use disorders. By promoting radical honesty and providing education and training, universities can create recovery-friendly campuses where students feel supported and understood. Whether you're a student, a parent, or someone interested in addiction recovery, this episode offers valuable insights into how higher education institutions can be allies in the journey to sobriety.
