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.

UNL Senior, age 22. In recovery 1 year.

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.
