Abstract
ABSTRACT Successful recovery from addiction requires engagement in meaningful activities. Engaging in formal education is one example of a meaningful activity found to support recovery. Research has shown that engaging in education facilitates the acquirement of multiple recovery characteristics, such as the forming of a new identity, increased self-efficacy, and access to pro-social networks. However, students in addiction recovery experience challenges in educational settings, such as stigma and the prevalence of alcohol and substance use synonymous with college education. Educational settings that employ recovery-oriented supports such as collegiate recovery programs are demonstrative of innovative, progressive, and systematic change supportive of addiction recovery. Evidence indicates that students in recovery flourish in educational settings, particularly with recovery informed supports. A coalition of education and public health administrators is required to institute collegiate recovery programs in all institutes of higher education.
