The University of New Hampshire’s Institute on Disability (IOD) established New Hampshire Collegiate Recovery in 2024 to expand recovery supports for students managing substance use disorders. According to the Institute on Disability, the program was launched after the IOD received specific funding to build a support infrastructure for collegiate recovery within the state.
Funding and Establishment of New Hampshire Collegiate Recovery
New Hampshire Collegiate Recovery began operations in 2024. The program’s creation followed a funding allocation granted to the UNH Institute on Disability, which the institution uses to scale recovery-based resources for students. The IOD manages the program as part of its broader mission to provide support and accessibility services.
The IOD Recovery Support Framework
The program operates under the umbrella of the Institute on Disability, which integrates recovery supports into the academic environment. According to IOD documentation, the goal is to provide a structured system that allows students in recovery to maintain their academic progress while accessing necessary health and wellness resources.
By centering these services within the IOD, the university links recovery efforts with disability services, treating the challenges of substance use recovery as a component of student support and accessibility.
