We promote a nurturing campus and community environment to ensure that all students in recovery can achieve academic and personal success.
You're in recovery when you say you are. Gamecock Recovery supports all pathways of recovery, strengthening the relationships, resources, and services that have already been working for you.
Our student community supports one another through social events, informal gatherings, and participation in campus traditions.
We offer a variety of recovery meetings throughout the week. Peer-based recovery supports (also known as mutual support or self-help groups) facilitate the exchange of recovery skills, sharing of challenges, and celebration of successes among people with similar experiences.
Our meetings are centered on a variety of topics, including moderation support, meditation and mindfulness practice, boundary-setting, and self-care.
Gamecock Recovery meetings are not held during the summer term. We will reopen our regular schedule on the first day of class in August, 2023.
Please consult the academic calendar for more information.
Recovery coaches are collaborative partners in the recovery process, trained to support people in recovery as they build confidence, sustain motivation, overcome barriers and connect to recovery resources. Free for students in recovery from substance use disorder, those considering recovery, and those impacted by addiction in their relationships.
Our Addiction and Recovery-Informed Seminar (ARISE) provides a platform for recovery voices and creates a community forum to explore different dimensions and perspectives on addiction and recovery.
Recovery Ally workshops help faculty, staff and students learn about substance use disorder and recovery. Using the lived experience of UofSC students in recovery, participants will learn to identify and respond to stigmatizing language, dispel myths about SUD, and build a campus environment that is accepting, engaging, and supportive of students in recovery from substance use disorder.
