Examining Developments in the Field of Collegiate Recovery Through a Descriptive Database

Abstract

Approximately 21% to 22% of U.S. college students have substance
abuse disorders, giving higher education institutions a unique role in
supporting recovery throughout its community.
College is a unique environment for those navigating recovery due to a
culture of normalized drug use.
Collegiate Recovery Programs (CRPs) were created to act as a
continuing model of support and community for college students in
recovery.
Our research builds on the existing CRP Descriptive Database (2022)
which was created by Dr. Shore-Miller and is sponsored by The
Association of Recovery in Higher Education (ARHE).
We conducted a literature review of the collegiate recovery field
adding 73 articles for inclusion into the database and then coding them
by different characteristics such as demographics and methodology.
Research Questions: (1) How the research field of CRPs is
developing?
(2) What new articles have been published about CRPs and related
research?
(3) What trends in research topics and theories have emerged?
