Benefits of Recovery
Research shows students in recovery who participate in collegiate recovery programs attain higher GPAs, higher persistence rates and higher graduation rates.
CRC members have access to:
- Social support and fellowship with other students in recovery.
- Weekly meetings in an alcohol-free and drug-free environment to talk with peers. Open to all recovery programs.
- Leadership opportunities in Nebraska's collegiate recovery community.
- Referrals to specialized services, including individual counseling; well-being coaching; tutoring; and financial aid.
CRC led me by the hand in my recovery. I was too afraid to do it alone.
The community vastly improved my feelings towards recovery - changing my focus towards the benefits for myself for the first time ever. This changed every aspect of my life including relationships, work ethic, and mental health. I found forever friends that support me through the up and downs. This program changed my life and, honestly, probably saved it.
CRC showed me where to find quality meetings and friends. I couldn't stay sober without the fellowship. This fellowship is strong
