CARR BROWN BAG SESSION 2:Determinants of Relapse for Students in Collegiate Recovery Communities
Lauren E. Lewis, MA, LPC, LCDC
PhD Student in Addictive Disorders and Recovery Studies
Collegiate recovery communities (CRC’s) offer support for students in recovery from substance use through peer connections, recovery seminars, abstinence-based groups, academic advising and more. Research to date has explored relapse rates, demographics, and program evaluations, but the field is still new, so more research is necessary to prove the effectiveness of CRC’s and guide future programming needs. This presentation details the process and results of a current research using Witkiewitz and Marlatt model of relapse prevention to identify determinants of relapse for students enrolled in a CRC (N=179, female = 52.8%). Results in this study emphasize the need to continue the exploration of lapse and relapse in CRCs. Implications for current and future research will be discussed in detail at presentation.
