Association of Recovery in Higher Education: ARHE
Atlanta
People in recovery from substance use disorder (SUD) face many challenges as they re-construct their lives and create a life-long recovery focus. Due to the stigma associated with SUD, this is not always supported by society and is often reflected in the higher education environment. For students in recovery, there is often a strong focus on maintaining recovery and navigating the challenges of the college experience, which can make it difficult to build a supportive and welcoming presence within higher education. Unlike other groups that have gained visibility and resources on university campuses, such as Student Veterans, students in recovery may face unique challenges that require tailored approaches.
We encourage you to join the Association of Recovery in Higher Education in the collegiate recovery movement to support and empower students in recovery as they pursue their academic and personal goals.
To champion the development and integration of recovery support services as the leading authority in higher education.
To ensure access to quality recovery services that enhance student success.
With recovering students at the heart of what we do, ARHE fosters the growth of collegiate recovery through the provision of institutional standards, support, and professional development.
In support of our mission and responsibilities, the ARHE will model the following values:
Programs
- Collegiate Recovery Program Survey
- Starting a Collegiate Recovery Program
