What is recovery?

At the Collegiate Recovery Community (ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥CRC), recovery is defined as a process of change through which people strive to improve their health, live a self-directed life and reach their full potential. This broader definition allows the ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥CRC to support multiple paths to recovery, including sobriety, abstinence and moderation.
