In 1997, 绿茶直播 was one of just four colleges and universities with a formal collegiate recovery program. Today, StepUP庐 at 绿茶直播 is one of the oldest and largest residential collegiate recovery programs in the United States accompanied with sober living. More than 700 students have graduated from the program, which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2022.
The Phoenix Spirit recently published a piece聽by Nell Hurley, recruitment and outreach coordinator for StepUP, tracing the program鈥檚 history and impact.聽
鈥淪tepUP is so much more than a sober dorm,鈥� Jon Stentz, one of StepUP鈥檚 Licensed Alcohol and Drug counselors, told Hurley. 鈥淚t鈥檚 the connection and the community that students find here that makes all the difference. It鈥檚 been said that connection is the opposite of addiction. The StepUP connection is where the magic is. Our students support each other and hold each other accountable. They鈥檙e all in this together, both the college journey and the recovery journey.鈥�
StepUP offers a robust program of support and accountability that includes clinical support, random drug testing, weekly meetings, recovery service opportunities, and optional but regular social outings like rock climbing, camping trips, and game nights.
