General Notes

The Center for Students in Recovery (CSR) is a large, high-visibility collegiate recovery program that provides a supportive community for students in or seeking recovery from addiction. CSR is not a treatment program and does not provide clinical services, but is instead oriented around peer recovery support, sober social activities, and campus and community outreach and education. While CSR is a stand-alone program within the Division of Student Affairs, it receives administrative support from Healthyhorns.
