In the past decades one response to the increase of college drinking is the growing prevalence of Collegiate Recovery Communities (CRC).
Numerous publications on these programs exist, yet a review does not. With a growing need for evidence-based model programs to address the concerns of alcohol abuse and dependence on college campuses, the importance of a collection on the effectiveness of CRCs exists.
The goal of this article is to compile a thorough overview of data on CRCs in the United States, focusing specifically on the role of social support in recovery maintenance.
Recommendations for future directions are discussed.
