The Role of Social Support in Collegiate Recovery Communities: A Review of the Literature



In the past decades one response to the increase of college drinking is the growing prevalence of Collegiate Recovery Communities (CRC). 

Numerous publications on these programs exist, yet a review does not. With a growing need for evidence-based model programs to address the concerns of alcohol abuse and dependence on college campuses, the importance of a collection on the effectiveness of CRCs exists. 

The goal of this article is to compile a thorough overview of data on CRCs in the United States, focusing specifically on the role of social support in recovery maintenance. 

Recommendations for future directions are discussed.
