Peer Facilitated Support Group: Boston College has a peer facilitated support group for students questioning recovery or currently in recovery from drugs and alcohol.

Recovery On-Campus Housing: Boston College has an exciting opportunity for students in recovery. On-campus, apartment style housing is available for male and female undergraduate students interested in being a member of a substance free, supportive community.  While living among like-minded peers, students receive social and emotional support for maintaining their sobriety.

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), from 1999 to 2009, the number of students age 18 to 24 seeking treatment for substance abuse more than doubled.*
