Texas Tech University’s Center for the Study of Addiction and Recovery has developed and is distributing the nation’s first curriculum to establish recovery communities on college campuses.
The students in the program stay sober at really high rates and, on average, get better grades than the rest of the student body. I’d love to hear more about whether a strong program like this impacts the drinking behavior of other students by influencing campus norms.

I have been an addiction professional and social worker since 1994. I started blogging in 2005 as the Clinical Director at Dawn Farm. I currently serve as the Director of Social Work and Spiritual Care for a healthcare system. I've also served as the Director of Behavioral Health at another hospital. I'm also a lecturer at Eastern Michigan University’s School of Social Work.

Keep in mind that the field, the contexts in which the field operates, and my views have changed over time.
