Enhancing addiction recovery supports on campus

Alberta’s government is partnering with post-secondary institutions to support the wellness of students, staff and faculty pursuing recovery from addiction.

Alberta is supporting post-secondary institutions to embed addiction recovery into the post-secondary experience through Recovery on Campus Alberta – an initiative that reduces stigma and improves access to recovery-oriented resources. Recovery on Campus Alberta is supported by a provincial investment of $3 million over three years, double the province’s previous commitment.

By providing individual and group support, sharing education, offering scholarships, creating research opportunities and collaborating across campuses, Recovery on Campus Alberta empowers students, staff and faculty to pursue and sustain a substance-free life of purpose, connection and wellness.

“The Alberta Recovery Model ensures mental health and addiction recovery is supported at every stage of life, including post-secondary education. We’re proud to support Recovery on Campus Alberta so students can focus on their education while accessing the help they need. Recovery is possible.”

Rick Wilson, Minister of Mental Health and Addiction
