“…Though not collected as a data point, a small number of studies implemented a conceptual model to guide ndings. One such study included an effort to create a conceptual model using a systems-based community approach (Harris et al, 2008) and another incorporated the continuum of care model to treat addiction (Laitman et al, 2014;Laitman & Lederman, 2008). Others have suggested an integrated behavioral health model to treat all co-occurring mental health disorders along with SUD in CRPs .…”

“…CRPs are built on three critical insights: the need for continuing care of SUDs, the importance of recoveryoriented systems of care (ROSC), and the value of peer-recovery support services. Continuing care refers to the recovery stage of healing and may include individual check-ups as well as mutual-help meetings and involvement in drug-free social events (Laitman, Kachur-Karavites, & Stewart, 2014). ROSCs are a framework for coordinating multiple systems, services and supports that are person-centered and designed to readily adjust to meet the individual's needs and chosen pathway to recovery (Kaplan, 2008).…”

The health and well-being of students in recovery from substance use disorder is increasingly being recognized as a priority on college campuses. This scoping review maps the state of the existing literature evaluating collegiate recovery programming to highlight research gaps and inform policy. We conducted a systematic search of articles related to collegiate recovery programming published before August 2020. The 15 extracted study characteristics included publication type, study design, primary outcomes, reporting of behavioral addictions and mutual-help groups, sample demographic information, school size, ownership, and funding source. The PRISMA-guided search strategy identi ed 357 articles for abstract review; of 113 articles retained for full-text review, 54 studies were identi ed for nal inclusion. Primary outcomes were coded into four domains: clinical, lived experience, program characterization, and stigma. All but one of the articles were observational (57%) or qualitative (41%) research designs. Government or foundation grants funded only 11% of the studies. Findings suggest that collegiate recovery programs reduce risk of relapse, improve educational outcomes, and provide social support for students in recovery. The domains identi ed offer a framework for healthcare providers, college administrators, and researchers to understand and improve programs, thereby better serving this marginalized student group.

“…Evaluations on CRCs have yielded promising results in that CRC members have consistently demonstrated low relapse rates (i.e., longer sobriety), in addition to GPAs and graduation rates well above the averages for the rest of the student body (Brown et al, 2018;Harris et al, 2008;Smock et al, 2011). While social influence and support has been evaluated as an important component of CRCs (Grahovac et al, 2011;Laitman et al, 2014), exercise -a behavior proven to facilitate recovery -has yet to be a studied within CRCs.…”

Exercise is especially beneficial for individuals recovering from addiction. In addition to improved physical, emotional, and mental health, exercise is linked to long-term recovery for those overcoming addiction. With nearly 10% of college students in recovery, and many utilizing campus resources such as collegiate recovery communities (CRCs) to support their recovery, it is important to understand the relationship between exercise and the recovery process among college students. The purpose of this study was to use social network analysis and theory to understand exercise behaviors among a group of college students in recovery. The relationship between exercise and sobriety, mental health variables, and social connections was examined among a network of students involved in a CRC. Of the 50 students involved in this network, 40 participated in the study (80% response rate). Logistic regression analysis revealed a significant model (R 2 = .598, p < .0001) predicting whether CRC members exercised enough to yield health benefits. Length of sobriety, higher stress, lower depression, having fewer network ties, and being connected directly to others exercising regularly were significant predictor variables in the model. This study supports the relationship between sobriety and exercise, as well as an association between network connections and exercise behaviors. Incorporating exercise opportunities as part of CRC programming to help students stay sober, as well as identifying key target points for intervention within similar groups of students, could be useful in future practice.

“…It is important that the campus community knows that there are a variety of support services ranging from prevention, to harm reduction, to abstinence and recovery supports (Laitman, Kachur-Karavites, & Stewart, 2014). In this way, the impact on the college culture can have its widest footprint and greatest impact.…”
