Support, Sobriety, Personal accountability, Friendship
The Collegiate Recovery Program (CPR) 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 is overseen by an Advisory Board that promotes healthier choices and substance-free living.
