The college experience is a big transition for any student. For those in recovery, this transition often seems like an impossible one. In a social culture that often glorifies substance use, behavioral pressure and physical appearances, most students in recovery feel like they have to choose between a healthier lifestyle and their college experience.
The University of North Texas’ Collegiate Recovery Program (CRP) is a peer-based program created to give students in recovery the opportunity to experience college life in a safe, nurturing and substance-free environment. The program requires members to be involved with service activities, attend support groups and seminars while committing to sobriety and academics. While not all students enrolled in the program may be recovering from a substance use addiction, all students are asked to follow the same guidelines of sobriety and a healthy lifestyle.
Students recovering from substance use disorders, behavioral and process addictions, mental health concerns as well as students choosing to live a substance-free life are all welcome. Students must be enrolled in at least one class at UNT to become a member.
Empower students to promote quality of life improvements.
Enhance a substance-free and responsible-use campus climate.
Augment academic success through recovery seminars and peer engagement.
Provide formalized training courses for workforce development in the peer recovery, addiction treatment, and prevention fields.

The Recovery Nest at the University of North Texas is a recovery-oriented residence. The Recovery Nest is open to students living in recovery from substance use disorders, mental health illnesses, and other quality of life concerns. Dedicated to providing the safety and resources students at the University of North Texas need to support their recovery, The Recovery Nest is the first residence hall wing serving students who are in long-term recovery, or who live a life of wellness by choice. The Recovery Nest community integrates fun in recovery with a focus on success in individual academic careers. Recovery and academics should never be sacrificed for one another, and the Recovery Nest, combined with active participation in the Collegiate Recovery Program at the university, makes it possible not to have to choose.
Students who are actively seeking an improved quality of life through a commitment to long-term recovery and are filled with a desire to be a contributing member of the North Texas community through outreach, service, membership, and advocacy would be a great fit for The Recovery Nest.
Freshman students of the collegiate recovery program will be required to reside in the Recovery Nest; upper-classman students who are CRP student members may apply for residence, as well as students who are willing to commit to the principles and philosophy of recovery, prevention, and wellness.
