“…CRCs provide social support and resources specifically for academics in recovery. CRCs aim to create an environment for students in recovery to experience a sense of belonging and connectedness to others without using drugs or alcohol and to foster successful recovery while interacting with the often substance-saturated college environment (Cleveland, Harris, Baker, Herbert, & Dean, 2007;Harris, Baker, & Cleveland, 2010). Although the prevalence of CRCs has grown, only approximately 600 students participated in such communities in 2013 (Laudet, Harris, Kimball, Winters, & Moberg, 2014).…”

“…Harris, Baker, and Cleveland (2010) provide an excellent overview of some of the strategies observed within the network of Recovery Schools. For example, the Alcohol and Other Drug Assistance Program for Students at Rutgers, the oldest program of this type, offers designated housing for recovering students, educational and intervention services by certified substance abuse counselors, and 12-step meetings.…”

Despite the significant attention that drugs and alcohol receive on college campuses, few resources and supports are available to students who are recovering from an addiction. Student affairs professionals are uniquely positioned to support these students with a variety of strategies. This article summarizes what is currently known about college students in recovery and ways that student affairs professionals can help build an infrastructure of formal and informal supports for this underserved and at-risk student population.

“…Recognition of this problem has led at least 20 colleges and universities to develop collegiate recovery communities (CRCs) (Smock, Baker, Harris, & D’Sauza, 2011) that provide comprehensive recovery support services. CRCs are largely based on the 12-step program (Harris, Baker, & Cleveland, 2010), which has been shown to be effective in reducing relapse among both adults (Humphreys, Mankowski, Moos, & Finney, 1999) and adolescents (Kelly, Dow, Yeterian, & Kahler, 2010). Only 4% to 8% of CRC members relapse each year (see Smock et al, 2011), providing hope to these vulnerable young adults.…”

Psychological constructs, such as negative affect and substance use cravings that closely predict relapse, show substantial intra-individual day-to-day variability. This intra-individual variability of relevant psychological states combined with the “one day of a time” nature of sustained abstinence warrant a day-to-day investigation of substance use recovery. This study examines day-to-day associations among substance use cravings, negative affect, and tobacco use among 30 college students in 12-step recovery from drug and alcohol addictions. To account for individual variability in day-to-day process, it applies an idiographic approach. The sample of 20 males and 10 females (mean age = 21) was drawn from members of a collegiate recovery community at a large university. Data were collected with end-of-day data collections taking place over an average of 26.7 days. First-order vector autoregression models were fit to each individual predicting daily levels of substance use cravings, negative affect, and tobacco use from the same three variables one day prior. Individual model results demonstrated substantial inter-individual differences in intra-individual recovery process. Based on estimates from individual models, cluster analyses were used to group individuals into two homogeneous subgroups. Group comparisons demonstrate distinct patterns in the day-to-day associations among substance use cravings, negative affect, and tobacco use, suggesting the importance of idiographic approaches to recovery management and that the potential value of focusing on negative affect or tobacco use as prevention targets depends on idiosyncratic processes.
