Abstract
Collegiate recovery programs (CRPs) exist to establish and ensure a positive representation of those recovering in college as well as facilitate a supporting atmosphere for this process. A database was created to house, categorize, and compare the existing literature on collegiate recovery found by an extensive literature review. The database serves as a tool for clinicians in a simplified view of the existing knowledge in order to best serve their patients and keep up with new information as it is being produced. This research team was able to find and code 72 additional articles to supplement the database. Articles are coded by citation, demographics, theories, methodology, analyses, integrated behavioral health techniques, and other tags. Together, 12 research briefs were created that exemplify the gaps in existing literature as well as bridge differences in topics to facilitate the discussion of CRP progression and expansion.
