DESCRIPTIVE DATABASE FOR COLLEGIATE RECOVERY PROGRAMS

Abstract

Collegiate Recovery Programs (CRPs) offer a supportive environment for students in recovery from substance abuse issues, promoting academic success, social well-being, and personal growth. A comprehensive database was developed by the Association of Recovery in Higher Education (ARHE) to consolidate existing research on CRPs within college populations. This project involved identifying and reviewing studies, coding key findings, and categorizing articles based on social justice considerations, theoretical frameworks, methodologies, etc. Additionally, research briefs were created to summarize thematic trends across the studies.

The published database, which includes approximately 140 articles, reveals a consistent satisfaction trend among students and staff regarding CRPs. The findings indicate that Collegiate Recovery Programs positively impact student life, including academic performance, social integration, and overall well-being. The data highlights the vital role of CRPs in promoting student success and emphasizes the necessity for ongoing funding and institutional support to enhance recovery-friendly campus environments.
