Campus Champions: Collegiate Recovery Communities Making Waves

Collegiate recovery has the highest success of any post secondary modality with relapse rates being anywhere from 4% to 13% being the highest recorded. It's grassroots. But it's picking
Imagine a place where students in recovery can find support, understanding, and a sense of belonging. That's exactly what Todd Zalkins explores in this episode as he heads to Keystone, Colorado for the Association of Recovery in Higher Learning (ARHE) Student Summit and Skiathon. Joined by Haley Agront and Zack Wyatt from the University of Vermont, Todd dives into the world of Collegiate Recovery Communities (CRCs).
These communities are changing lives across campuses nationwide, offering a lifeline to students battling addiction. With relapse rates as low as 4% to 13%, CRCs are proving to be one of the most successful recovery modalities in higher education. But it's not just about the numbers; it's about the people. Haley and Zack share their personal experiences, highlighting the power of peer support and advocacy.
They discuss the unique challenges faced by students in recovery and the vital role that CRCs play in providing resources and fostering a supportive environment. Haley puts it best when she says, 'to know that they get what I'm going through, they just get it'. This grassroots movement is gaining momentum, bringing hope and inspiration to students and their families.
Tune in to hear how these communities are not only helping students stay sober but also empowering them to thrive academically and personally.
