成瘾和康复研究中心（CSAR）（德克萨斯理工大学人文科学学院的一个中心）开发了一个综合性的大学康复社区（CRC）。该社区为大学生从成瘾行为（主要是酒精/药物成瘾）中恢复提供了支持和预防复发的模式。这种模式是专门针对在学院/大学环境中实施，并已在TTU使用了20年。本文的目的是简要回顾与大学年龄段的个人之间的物质使用相关的文献，讨论在这个人群中恢复的挑战，描述现有的大学课程，并提供CRC模型的广泛描述。CRC模式具体包括恢复支持，获得高等教育/教育支持，同伴支持，家庭支持和社区支持/服务，以帮助个人实现我们所说的基于系统的持续恢复。成功的初步证据表明，CRC提供的支持服务对目前的人口有效，平均复发率仅为8%，毕业率为70%，成员的平均GPA为3.18。模型的局限性和未来的研究计划进行了讨论。
The Center for the Study of Addiction and Recovery (CSAR) (a Center within the College of Human Sciences at Texas Tech University, TTU), has developed a comprehensive Collegiate Recovery Community (CRC). This community provides a model of support and relapse prevention for college students recovering from addictive behaviors-primarily alcohol/drug addiction. This model is specifically targeted for implementation in the college/university setting and has been used at TTU for 20 years. The purpose of this paper is to briefly review the literature related to substance use among college-aged individuals, discuss the challenges of recovery within this population, describe existing collegiate programs, and provide an extensive description of the CRC model. The CRC model specifically incorporates recovery support, access to higher education/educational support, peer support, family support, and community support/service in an effort to help individuals attain what we describe as systems-based sustained recovery. Preliminary evidence of success indicates that support services offered by the CRC work for the current population as evidenced by an average relapse rate of only 8%, a graduation rate of 70%, and an average GPA of 3.18 among members. Limitations of the model and plans for future research are also discussed.
