The Tulane Recovery Community’s mission is to support individualized recovery on campus by providing recovery-based programs that foster academic achievement, connection and engagement.
Tulane University is committed to supporting students who are in recovery from substance use disorders and/or who identify as having a problematic relationship with alcohol and/or other substances.
We recognize recovery is an all-inclusive term and is individualized for each person. For the purposes of the TRC, recovery refers to a voluntary commitment and desire to abstain from alcohol and other problematic substances.
Our community supports students in developing and sustaining a foundation for long-term recovery by providing a safe non-judgmental environment to discuss collegiate specific topics and ideas supportive of recovery on campus.
In addition to individuals who self-identify as a person in recovery, the Tulane Recovery Community welcomes anyone who is interested in what a recovery lifestyle has to offer, including those who are “recovery curious” and are questioning their relationship with alcohol and or other substances. Additionally, we recognize the need for advocacy and support, and we provide education and space for those identifying as "recovery allies."
The TRC is not a clinical treatment program or a 12-step based program; we are a recovery community based on social support models. We do invite students to actively engage in maintaining their personal recovery by regularly attended support meetings and attending programming provided by the TRC.
Please note that most recovery support groups have pivoted to a virtual format. For more information, please see our online and virtual recovery support resource list.These sources offer access to round the clock support, online meetings, the chance to ask questions and discuss specific issues, and the opportunity for self-expression in a format that will reach others in the recovery community.
If you have questions about virtual support and would like to get connected to other students in recovery, please reach out to Jacob Goldberg, Recovery Community Manager, at jgoldberg6@tulane.edu, or by calling or texting 225-202-6342.
Please refer to https://aaneworleans.org/ for a current list of local virtual and in-person meetings.
