Program History:
The University of Vermont's Catamount Recovery Program (CRP) was founded in 2010 to address the unique needs of students in recovery from alcohol and other drug addiction. Our goals are to provide:
- A supportive environment/community within the campus culture that reinforces the decision to engage academics without engaging substance use;
- An educational opportunity alongside recovery support to ensure that students in recovery have the ability to achieve success both in college and beyond;
- Accountability for recovering students that comes from self, peers, and higher education staff;
- A normative college experience for individuals in recovery.
The CRP has a Director and a Coordinator, as well as counseling staff available for CRP members, but the community of CRP students are the most valued members of the team. Each CRP member is asked to be supportive of the ideals of the community and each member's commitment to sobriety.
UVM's Catamount Recovery Program is founded upon five pillars we believe provide a strong foundation for recovery support on a college campus. These pillars are: Recovery, Community, Academics, Self-Care, and Advocacy. Each student is asked to consider these five pillars in building their recovery action plan.
Programs and Services:
Five day a week programming (Meditation and Mindfulness, 12 step meeting, lunch, drop in, recovery group, movie and game nights, book club).
Every other weekend social activity (apple picking, go karts, hiking, camping, brunch/dinner, Halloween party, Friendsgiving, etc.)
Staff support - monthly 1-1s, advocacy with other UVM services (academic advising, financial aid, support services, accessibility services)
Weekly clinical recovery group
