We promote a nurturing campus and community environment to ensure that all students in recovery can achieve academic and personal success.
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 experience.
Gamecock Recovery meetings are not held on official university holidays or during academic recess. Please consult the academic calendar for more information.
All Recovery meetings are based on the idea that there are great benefits to bringing people together from multiple recovery pathways. This meeting honors all pathways of recovery, acknowledging that each person’s path is unique and reflects their personal strengths. These meetings are an opportunity for social support that focuses on the hope and healing found in recovery and to connect with others who are initiating and maintaining a recovery lifestyle.
This is CLOSED meeting, intended only for UofSC students, faculty, and staff who identify as being in recovery, seeking recovery, and/or impacted by addiction in their relationships. All are welcome, regardless of their primary recovery pathway.
When: Wednesdays at 6 p.m.
Where: Wellness & Fitness Center #301D and virtually

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. Gamecock Recovery offers free recovery coaching to students in recovery from substance use disorder, those considering recovery, and those impacted by addiction in their relationships.
Our Addiction and Recovery-Informed Seminar 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.
This beginner-friendly class includes deep breathing, physical yoga postures, and meditations on topics our instructor, Bethe, has found beneficial to her own recovery.
