Students in Recovery

Students in Recovery (SIR) at CU-Boulder provides a structured, affirming peer-based community and paves the way for students in recovery from addictive disorders to successfully pursue academic, personal, and professional goals that will enhance their quality of life and enable them to become productive members of the university, community, and society.

Participating students have access to services to support their decision to remain in recovery and to improve their academic and life skills. Also, students attend twelve step or other recovery support meetings on campus or in the community. Through this holistic approach to continuing care for recovering students, SIR addresses the problems and issues associated with the transitions from high school to college and from active addiction into recovery.

The pairing of education and recovery builds esteem in the students involved with SIR. Their accomplishments translate into reduced problems for society, increased earning potential, heightened community involvement, and broader commitment to service.
