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.
Gamecock Recovery meetings are not held on official university holidays or during academic recess. Please consult the academic calendar for more information.
Wondering if you have a problem? Want to cut back but not quit? Thinking about how to reduce the consequences without giving up the fun? This group is for those wanting to reflect and possibly change their substance use, without judgement or pressure to quit completely.
