The Collegiate Recovery Program (CRP) at Fairfield University offers a nurturing, affirming, and substance-free environment for students in recovery. Together, students learn how to balance their education with their recovery and pursue their academic, personal, and professional goals. The program includes a Collegiate Recovery House where men live and work to achieve these goals. Components of the program include recreational opportunities, spiritual advising, random drug testing, and group therapy.

The program is offered through the Department of Counseling & Psychological Services and overseen by an Advisory Board that promotes healthier choices and substance-free living.
