Announcing the 'Grizz Recovery Program'!

Grizz Recovery is a Collegiate Recovery Program (CRP) at Oakland University partially supported by a grant from the Jamie Daniels Foundation and The Children’s Foundation. It is an individualized, intentional, dynamic and relational program which supports and improves recovery wellness for students who are in or exploring recovery from substance use and other addictions. We cultivate an environment of belonging which honors the whole student so that they may achieve academic success while enjoying a genuine college experience free from substances and other addictions.

Grizz Recovery provides:

• A recovery lounge to hangout, study or meet up with others in recovery (located in room113 on the 1st floor of East Vandenberg).
• One-on-one individualized case management services
• Weekly recovery meetings
• Fun, sober social events

The CRP at Oakland University recognizes co-occurring disorders and behaviors (eating disorders, gambling, gaming, sex) and can assist with programming and referrals as needed. Through case management, there is also support for non-participating students through support, referrals or transition to recovery.
