Pennsylvania's collegiate recovery programs expand to help students struggling with substance use

Pennsylvania has more collegiate recovery programs than any other state to help students struggling with addiction. Twelve colleges in the Philadelphia region have received grant funding from the Independence Blue Cross Foundation and Association of Recovery in Higher Education to establish CRPs, which provide counseling, substance-free housing, Twelve-Step meetings and other peer support events that foster a sense of community for students in recovery. Holy Family University is the latest college to announce plans for a CRP.
