UAB Collegiate Recovery Community
The Collegiate Recovery Community is a peer-driven resource for students seeking to improve their relationship with substance use.
We offer a range of supports, services, and involvement opportunities! Whether you’re in recovery, working towards it, or simply thinking about making some changes, the CRC provides a community of like-minded individuals and a substance-free environment to study, socialize, or learn more about recovery.
Join us for our weekly All-Recovery Groups Tuesdays 2 – 3 and Wednesdays 5:30 – 6:30 at the CRC and for our Substance Use Focused Peer Group on Fridays at 2.
