4. Addiction affects us all
Addiction is a family disease. The person with substance use disorder is a brother, sister, mother, father, husband, wife, or friend to someone who loves them no matter what.
The reality is that addiction touches all of our lives, and we believe the recovery involves a community solution. 
We need your support to help reduce stigma towards individuals affected by addiction, and raise awareness about the many pathways to recovery.

5. What is a collegiate recovery community ?
A collegiate recovery community (CRC) supports students in or seeking recovery from alcohol, drugs, or any other addiction. The CRC allow students to have an authentic college experience while maintaining their recovery.
