Full Summary:
Students in the Collegiate Recovery Program are spreading the word about campus resources by brewing free coffee.
Recovery Program Coffee BikeAs the weather cools off and the semester heats up, there will soon be a new way on campus to get a cup of coffee.
Free coffee is arriving on three wheels courtesy of Georgia Tech’s Collegiate Recovery Program (CRP).
For the 21 students in the program, college life looks a little different than it does for most of their peers. The CRP is a safe haven for students, welcoming those in recovery from substance use disorders.
Most students have struggled with alcohol or other drugs, but the recovery program welcomes those in recovery from any addictive behaviors who are willing to commit to a sober lifestyle.
“Regardless of your addiction, the feelings associated with it are the same,” said Christina Owens, coordinator of the program, which is a service of the Counseling Center. “Often people will substitute one addiction for another — they may get sober, but move on to something else.”
