#DeacsRecoverTogether

We’re Glad You’re Here!

We strive to offer a recovery friendly & safe environment for students in recovery to support one another in their academic and professional endeavors

Deacs in Recovery

Deacs in Recovery is a supportive community for students to connect through similar experiences and efforts to stop or reduce their use of substances or other potentially harmful behaviors.

We welcome students exploring both sobriety or reduced use. Our physical location on campus exists as a space to study, hold meetings, hangout, and get to know other students.

Please note that re-cultivating a CRC on campus is an ongoing project and takes ongoing support from our students, campus stakeholders, and community partners. If you are interested in getting involved and being a part of our recovery community, please reach out and see our info below!


Who’s it For?

WFU students with a desire to maintain a life of recovery from their identified form of addiction. This includes recovery from substance use (i.e. alcohol, etc.) as well as process/activity addictions (gambling, etc.)

Those who don’t consider themselves in recovery but are supportive are welcomed and will have opportunities to collaborate and engage.
